Ventnor Avenue, Bristol

A beautiful 1930s family home with generous proportions, a fantastic garden and a real sense of community

Lovingly refurbished by the current owners over the last couple of years, this charming 1930s three bedroom home offers a wonderful combination of period character, generous proportions and modern family living. Set within a peaceful cul de sac, the property occupies an excellent sized plot with a particularly impressive rear garden, driveway parking and rear access.

The ground floor offers a practical and welcoming layout, with a spacious entrance hall leading into the main living accommodation. The generous lounge is filled with natural light from the large bay window, creating a comfortable and inviting reception room. A separate dining room provides an ideal space for family meals, entertaining and those occasions when everyone gathers around the table.

To the rear, the fantastic sized kitchen diner forms the real heart of the home. There is plenty of space for a dining table and family seating, making this a wonderfully practical everyday space. The kitchen itself has an excellent footprint, with plenty of scope for the way a busy family lives, while doors provide direct access to the rear garden, perfect for summer days when life naturally moves between indoors and out.

Upstairs are three well proportioned bedrooms, including two particularly generous double bedrooms and a further bedroom which would make an ideal child's room, nursery or home office. A family bathroom completes the first floor.

Outside, the property really comes into its own. The large rear garden offers an abundance of space for children to play, entertaining friends and family, gardening or simply enjoying some peace and quiet. Rear access adds an extra layer of practicality, making it easy to bring bikes, garden equipment and other items in and out of the garden. To the front, a driveway provides valuable off street parking.

The current owners have created a home that has clearly been loved and lived in, with the garden in particular becoming an important part of family life. Summer days have been spent with the doors open, music playing and the BBQ on, while the garden has provided plenty of opportunity for their toddler to explore nature and enjoy running and playing between the two sets of rear doors.

The peaceful cul de sac has also been a real highlight, offering a calm setting away from through traffic and a lovely degree of privacy. There is a genuine sense of community within the road, with welcoming neighbours who look out for one another and a number of younger families having moved into the area in recent years. From coffee mornings to Christmas get togethers, the road has provided the kind of friendly community that makes a house feel like home.

The location also offers an excellent balance of convenience and lifestyle, with opportunities for weekend walks to the park and into St George, while providing easy access to the motorway network for commuters.

There was previously planning permission granted for a second-storey extension above the kitchen, offering further potential to enlarge and adapt the property. While this permission has now lapsed, the opportunity could potentially be reapplied for, subject to the necessary planning consents.
