Northover Road, Bristol, BS9

An impeccably renovated and comprehensively extended semi-detached family home, offering approximately 2,191 sq ft of beautifully appointed accommodation, a detached self-contained annex, substantial landscaped gardens and electric gated off-street parking for multiple vehicles.

The property has undergone an extensive programme of renovation and enlargement in recent years, resulting in a superbly appointed and highly versatile family home where contemporary design, generous proportions and an exceptional level of specification come together seamlessly. The transformation has been comprehensive, extending well beyond cosmetic improvement to include new plumbing and electrics, complete internal rendering and plastering, a new block-and-beam ground floor incorporating an impressive 450mm increase in floor height, underfloor heating throughout the bathrooms and principal ground floor areas, bespoke metal and black quartz-framed stairs with reinforced glass balustrades and new aluminium windows with integrated blinds. Throughout the house, considerable thought has also been given to storage, with a wealth of made-to-measure fitted wardrobes in every bedroom.

Approached via electric gates, the front of the property provides a substantial block-paved driveway with parking for multiple vehicles and cabling for EV charging (although not installed yet). The combination of gated parking and the property's comprehensive external refurbishment gives the house an impressive sense of arrival and a strong sense of privacy.

The principal living space is undoubtedly the heart of the home. Created by the substantial rear extension, this spectacular 34' x 19' open-plan kitchen, living and dining room is a superb space for both everyday family life and entertaining on a larger scale. A beautifully appointed, high-specification kitchen sits at one end, centred around a substantial quartz island with breakfast bar and integrated sink with Quooker tap. Integrated Simens appliances include a wine fridge, two ovens, espresso machine, dishwasher and a Fisher and Paykel four ring gas hob with extractor. The utilities are discreetly plumbed in under the staircase in the spacious, tiled hallway with a lovely octagonal porthole window.

The generous, fully tiled living and dining areas flow seamlessly towards the garden and two large roof lanterns flood the room with natural light whilst integrated cabinetry and a timber cladded feature wall provide both practicality and stylish contemporary finish. A storeroom adjacent provides further storage and houses the boiler. Expansive bi-fold doors open onto a substantial, wrap around dining terrace and landscaped gardens, creating a wonderful connection between the interior and exterior spaces.

The ground floor also provides considerable flexibility. A lovely, south facing bay sitting room with integrated wardrobes works well as a place to relax / watch films or equally as a lateral sixth bedroom for elderly relatives. A stylish and modern, porcelain tiled shower room with underfloor heating serves the ground floor. 

The first floor provides two well-proportioned double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes and a smaller bedroom which works well as a study or nursery. Bedroom one has lovely garden views whilst bedroom two benefits from a sunny south facing bay and abundant fitted storage. The first floor is served by a superb modern, porcelain tiled, family shower room appointed with twin sinks, illuminated wall mirrors, a generous and stylish, walk-in rainfall shower, WC, bidet and abundant fitted storage. The accommodation continues to the converted second floor, where two further large double bedrooms provide an impressive level of accommodation. Both bedrooms have extensive integrated wardrobe provision, while bedroom three is particularly appealing, featuring a fully glazed, full height, sliding door opening onto a Juliet balcony with lovely garden views. A further stylish, porcelain tiled family bathroom completes this floor with full height faded glass window, a large bath with rain shower over, wall-mounted basin with illuminated mirror, WC and bidet.

The outside space has been given the same level of attention as the house itself. The rear garden has been comprehensively renovated and landscaped, incorporating carefully considered walled terracing with glass balustrades, improved drainage and external lighting. A substantial dining terrace immediately adjoining the house provides an excellent setting for outdoor entertaining, while steps lead through the centre of the lawned garden terraces towards the detached annex at the end. The garden is enclosed by newly rendered and silicone-weatherproofed boundary walls and fencing, with the same treatment extending to the property's external rendering, providing both a crisp contemporary finish and enhanced weather protection.

At the end of the garden is a particularly valuable addition in the form of a detached, fully equipped self-contained studio annex with its own canopied terrace and accompanied by an adjoining storeroom. This versatile building provides an excellent opportunity for independent guest accommodation, a home office, studio, leisure space or other ancillary use, adding a further dimension to an already exceptionally flexible property.

In all, this represents a remarkable turnkey family home, combining exceptional proportions and thoughtful architectural enlargement with a high-quality specification and an unusually broad range of ancillary accommodation. From the dramatic open-plan living space and beautifully finished interiors to the landscaped gardens and detached annex, the property has been comprehensively transformed to provide an elegant, practical and highly versatile modern home. Offered with no onward chain.
