Hillside Road, Long Ashton

"Being surrounded by my own and neighbouring gardens. I enjoy the privacy. We are at the end of a cul de sac so the only traffic is neighbours and deliveries. The others in the lane are very friendly. I enjoy the journey home by bike from Bristol, it really feels like going out into the countryside yet is only 20 minutes from the city centre."

The Home

A characterful three-bedroom detached period home tucked away down a quiet road with generous rooms, a large garden, off-street parking and a brilliant amount of additional space across the basement and outbuilding.

The ground floor has an entrance hall leading into two reception rooms. The living room has a bay window, sash windows which feature throughout the property and an Ecosy wood-burning stove, which helps make the room feel cosy in winter. The second reception room works well as an office or additional sitting room with garden views and direct access through to the kitchen.

The kitchen has been designed with a lot of personal detail. The cabinets were made to measure with handmade ceramic knobs made by the owner, and the worktops are finished in Welsh slate. It gives the room a really individual feel without losing the practical side of the space.

Upstairs are three bedrooms, including two particularly generous doubles and a third bedroom which would work well as a child’s room, guest room or home office. There is a family bathroom and an en-suite adding useful practicality for a home of this size.

The house also has a basement level with a utility room, WC, storage and a large cellar space. This gives the property a lot of flexibility, whether used for storage, hobbies or potentially as a studio or separate annexe subject to any necessary consents. The conservatory is another useful space and makes a lovely spot to sit or lie down in summer while looking out over the garden.

There are several details worth noting: the original 1960s stair light came from Bristol Folk House and can remain with the house, most of the sash windows have been draught-proofed, the shutters help with shade in summer and insulation in winter and two windows have secondary glazing. There are also solar panels on the roof with the PV generating £1050 in the last 12 months

Outside Space

The garden is a major part of the appeal here. It is large, peaceful and well established, with mature planting, lawned areas, a pond and views across the surrounding area. It feels very private, helped by the house being set away.

There are several different places to sit out, including a front seating area which the owners have used for breakfast, a patio close to the house and quieter corners of the garden around the pond. The owner also grows firewood in a small hazel copse within the garden which is used for the wood burner.

There is a separate garage/outbuilding which offers further storage and has clear potential as a studio, workshop or creative space. The attic also offers scope for future extension, subject to the relevant permissions.
