"We poured our heart and soul over 16 months to make a perfect home. Every inch of the house has been lovingly restored and updated, with a new large kitchen extension the highlight. We really wanted to make this area the heart of the home."
One of the real benefits of this house is the amount and variety of parks and green spaces within a short distance. Redcatch Park and Community Garden, Perretts Park and Arnos Vale Cemetery, with its popular Atrium Café, all within 10 minutes walk from the house. The expansive Victoria Park and Callington Road Nature Reserve are also nearby, providing brilliant open spaces for the summer or for walking the dog all year round. The area is easily commutable from Bristol City Centre, approximately 30 minutes walk, a short cycle or bus journey down Wells Road. The area also has lots of amenities on the doorstep with Wells Road recently becoming home to more and more popular bars, cafes and restaurants. The Knowle Pub is within easy reach and provides the ideal locals pub for food and drink and is a great spot for a Sunday lunch or a beer in the garden.
The current owners cut no corners on our renovation, as it was done from the ground up. The house was fully rewired and replumbed, every room has been replastered and insulated, even restoring the original coving at the front of the house. The loft has been boarded which provides a huge storage space, and is ready for converting with planning permission already previously granted. Brand new top of the range Vailant boiler with a 10 year guarantee. The heating system runs on three zones for more efficient heating (Upstairs, downstairs, kitchen extension). All brand new radiators, and the kitchen is heated by hydronic underfloor heating, which is even more efficient. The upstairs bathroom has electric underfloor heating. Alongside all windows being double glazed, it's very easy and efficient to heat the home. And there’s a stove fire!
The kitchen has been designed for having a plumbed american size fridge freezer (for 24/7 ice and cold water), a washing machine and tumble dryer conveniently placed and hidden away, and under the stairs there’s plumbing already in place to install a water softening system if desired. Also equipped with two high quality ovens, large induction hob, built in dishwasher, and plenty of storage.
