Welsford Avenue, Stapleton

"The possibilities of where to go when you step out the front door are amazing. On a dog walk or the school run, there are so many lovely walks to get where you need to go. Virtually everywhere you need to go involves walking through nature away from traffic and noise."

The home

A stylish and contemporary three bedroom terrace home on Welsford Avenue in Stapleton, sitting on a spacious plot and benefitting from a single storey extension and garden studio. The accommodation is well proportioned throughout, with a good balance of original character and more contemporary finishes. The ground floor is particularly well arranged, with two reception rooms, a separate dining room and a well-equipped kitchen. The main living room is a generous space, measuring over seven metres in length, with a large bay window bringing plenty of natural light into the room. Period details including the picture rails, cornicing and tiled fireplace remain, alongside exposed timber floorboards and a wood-burning stove. The muted olive-green walls work well with the warmer timber and traditional features, giving the room a relaxed and comfortable feel. A second reception room provides a more informal space and features built-in shelving, timber flooring and further period detailing. At the rear, there is an opening through to the dining area, which in turn has direct access towards the garden. The use of white walls, natural wood and darker accents keeps these spaces feeling bright while retaining plenty of character. Tastefully completing the space, is an opening to the kitchen, helping to create an open plan feel.

The kitchen has a clean, practical finish, with white cabinetry, timber worktops and open wooden shelving. Sage-green metro tiles add a subtle splash of colour, while slate-effect flooring provides a more durable finish underfoot. There is a good amount of storage and worktop space, with integrated appliances and a useful connection through to the rear of the property. Upstairs are three bedrooms and the family bathroom. The main bedroom has a calm blue-grey colour scheme, carpet flooring and original-style detailing, while the second bedroom is currently used as a bedroom and has been given a brighter blue finish. The third bedroom is similarly well proportioned and offers flexibility depending on the needs of the next owner. The bathroom has been finished with white textured tiling, contemporary sanitaryware, a wall-mounted vanity unit and heated towel rail, keeping the space simple and practical.

The outside space

The private, north-facing rear garden is a good size and offers a pleasant green outlook. The garden is mainly paved, with a planting area, while steps lead up to a separate garden room/home office at the far end. There is plenty of space for outdoor seating and dining, with established trees and greenery adding a good degree of privacy.
