Malago Drive, Bedminster

"What we've loved most is the open plan living space, which has really been the heart of family life. The extension transformed the house and made it perfect for hosting friends and family, especially in the summer with the bifold doors wide open."

The Home

A beautifully presented four bedroom semi detached home on Malago Drive, offering approximately 1,740 sq ft of accommodation across three floors, including off street parking and a converted garage. The property has been significantly improved by the current owners, with a fantastic rear extension, high quality finishes and a brilliant open plan layout creating a spacious and sociable family home.

The entrance hall leads into an impressive open plan living, kitchen and dining space which runs the full length of the ground floor. At the front is a lovely living area with warm LVT flooring, fitted shutters and a contemporary feature fireplace with a wall mounted television above. There is plenty of room for seating, with the space flowing through into the kitchen and dining area beyond.

The extended kitchen and dining space is the real highlight of the house, with the entire open plan ground floor measuring over 33ft in length. The kitchen has been finished to a brilliant standard, with dark green cabinetry, quartz worktops and a large central island with breakfast seating. There is plenty of room for a substantial dining table, while the extension provides an additional seating area, making the whole space work particularly well for family life and entertaining. Multiple rooflights bring in lots of natural light, while wide bi-folding doors open directly onto the garden. A separate utility room and downstairs W/C complete the ground floor.

The first floor provides two generous double bedrooms, both benefiting from fitted storage, window shutters and their own ensuite shower rooms. The second floor provides two further double bedrooms, both offering good proportions and useful built in storage. A family bathroom with a bath completes the top floor, giving the property three bathrooms in total.


The Outside

The rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to create a fantastic space for relaxing and entertaining. A large paved terrace sits directly outside the kitchen extension, providing plenty of room for outdoor seating and dining, before leading onto an artificial lawn enclosed with fencing.

A large part of the former garage has been converted into a brilliant additional room, currently arranged as a games room with a pool table and seating area. This is a particularly flexible space which could work equally well as a home office, gym or additional family room, depending on a buyer's requirements. Double doors open directly onto the garden, making it a really useful addition to the property. To the front, the property benefits from off street parking for two cars.
