Richmond Avenue, Bristol, BS6

Occupying a quiet position at the end of a cul-de-sac in Montpelier, this end of terrace home has a number of distinctive features, including a split-level configuration, landscaped rear garden, substantial basement area and the advantage of rear access and a car port. The property has been owned for over 40 years by the current owner and provides a rare opportunity to move into one of Montpelier’s most sought-after roads.

A path leads through the front garden, where mature planting provides a green approach to the house alongside useful bin storage. The entrance vestibule features stained glass detailing and characterful period floor tiles, opening into a spacious hallway with room for coats and shoes.

The main living room occupies the front of the house, with a large bay sash window with secondary glazing and stained glass detailing above bringing character to the space. Ornate cornicing runs overhead, while a fireplace with a log burner provides a focal point for cooler evenings. Built-in shelving fills the alcoves on either side, adding useful storage and display space.

The wall between the reception rooms has been opened up, creating a natural flow into the second living space. Currently arranged as a home office, this room could equally accommodate a dining table or provide an additional sitting area, depending on requirements.

A few steps lead down from the hallway to the kitchen. Bespoke solid wood cabinetry provides generous storage alongside space for appliances, while a large window brings natural light into the room. There is also room for a dining table, creating a practical space for everyday meals. Beyond the kitchen is a storage area leading out to the rear garden and original outside WC.

Upstairs the bedrooms and family bathroom are arranged over a number of split level storeys. At the rear, the first bedroom has a sash window overlooking the garden, while the adjacent bathroom is fitted with a walk-in shower and built-in cabinetry.

The principal bedroom sits at the front of the house and spans its full width. A large sash bay window creates a bright, airy feel, with ample space for a king-size bed and extra storage furniture. Also accessed from this landing is a double bedroom with sink, currently used as a workshop/studio but could be adapted as a bedroom, nursery or study.

A few additional steps lead to another well-proportioned double bedroom with a sash window, while the converted loft provides a spacious room at the top of the house. Velux windows bring natural light into the space and offer far reaching views across the city towards countryside.

The house also benefits from substantial basement space, accessed via stairs from the kitchen. Plumbing is available for a washing machine and tumble dryer, alongside a sink and an area currently arranged as a workshop. A door provides direct access to the rear garden, making this a useful area for laundry, storage and practical projects.

Outside, the rear garden has been landscaped with raised beds for vegetable growing and a greenhouse, as well as a covered logstore. The garden also provides access to a side gate and to the car port, which has a translucent roof and a roller garage door opening onto The Maltings off Fairlawn Road. This rear vehicle access is an unusual and valuable feature for a home in this part of Bristol. 

Montpelier is a popular neighbourhood known for its independent shops, cafés and restaurants, with the amenities of Gloucester Road and Stokes Croft within easy reach. The surrounding streets offer good connections into Bristol city centre and there are two primary schools within walking distance.
