Claremont Road, Bristol, BS7

Set back from the road behind a tidy paved front garden, this spacious home has been thoughtfully adapted to create generous living accommodation across four floors, with four bedrooms, several flexible reception spaces and a private garden arranged over two levels. Period details including sash windows, fireplaces, cornicing and cast iron radiators sit alongside a series of modern updates which make the most of the space.

A stained glass surround frames the front door, opening into a welcoming hallway where whitewashed wooden floorboards continue through the principal reception spaces.

On the ground floor, the wall between the original reception rooms has been opened up to create a generous open-plan space stretching the full length of the house. At the front, a large bay sash window brings plenty of daylight into the room, while a period fireplace provides a focal point with useful shelving built into the alcoves on either side. Cast iron radiators continue the period character and feature throughout much of the home. Additionally, all sash windows have been updated to traditional wooden double glazing.

At the rear, large bespoke French doors bring further natural light into the room and opens onto a Juliet balcony overlooking the private garden. Adjacent, a separate office is another bright and flexible space, with a sash window complemented by additional glazing and a Velux window above. There is ample room for desks and shelving, making it well suited to working from home.

The kitchen and dining room occupy the lower ground floor. The dining area centres around a fireplace with a log burner, while bi-fold doors open directly onto the deck, creating an easy connection with the garden. The room flows through to the kitchen, where white cabinetry provides generous storage and space for appliances. Dual-aspect windows bring natural light into the space, while a natural stone backsplash adds a considered finish.

Also on this floor is a WC and a further flexible room, which has been soundproofed and is currently used as a music studio but could equally be arranged as another reception room, photography dark room or creative space.

The first floor accommodates two bedrooms and the family bathroom. The principal bedroom occupies the front of the house and features a large sash bay window, soft carpeting and original-style details including cornicing and a ceiling rose. An en suite WC has its own sash window and cabinetry beneath the basin. The second bedroom is another generous double, with a sash window overlooking the garden and fitted shutters providing the option of shade or privacy.

The family bathroom is fitted with a separate shower and freestanding roll-top bath, with slate tiling giving the room a calm, contemporary finish.

On the top floor, the converted loft provides two additional bedrooms. The landing has been arranged as a useful desk space by the current owners, with a skylight above bringing natural light down into the centre of the house. The first bedroom is a well-proportioned double with Velux windows and space for storage furniture.

The final bedroom is arranged across two levels, with a double bed currently positioned on the upper level and a sofa and desk occupying the lower space. This arrangement provides a useful degree of separation and could be adapted to suit a variety of uses.

The roof itself has been completely retiled by the current owners, with the Velux windows also updated. Additionally, solar panels have been installed enhancing the homes energy efficiency

Outside, the private rear garden is arranged over two levels and has been designed with different areas for sitting, dining and enjoying the planting. The upper deck is accessed directly from the dining room and provides space for outdoor dining, while steps descend to a second deck beneath a pergola, with further seating. Beyond, a lawn is bordered by mature trees and established planting, creating a secluded feel. There is a gate at the end of the garden allowing rear access via Elton Road.

The property is well placed for Gloucester Road, with its independent shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities within easy reach. Highly regarded local schools are nearby, while good transport links provide convenient access to Bristol city centre.
