"We’ve loved raising our 2 children with our cats & dog, watching hot air balloons over Bristol to family walks in the park at the end of our road. Our neighbourhood is special, with a strong community, helpful WhatsApp group, a vibrant local scene, including café, bar, and Co-op. We’ve enjoyed art trails, local events, and the beauty of our tree-lined street. Being minutes from the train station and direct buses to the city, Cribbs and Clifton and within the Hillcrest School catchment."
The house
A beautiful and substantial semi detached period home on this highly desirable street in Knowle. The house is set over three floors and is brimming with original features throughout including high ceilings, cornicing and stain glass door panels. The entrance hall is a great size and the perfect place to store coats and shoes which then leads to the inner hall where all rooms lead downstairs. To the front of the house there is a large reception room with bay window, stripped wooden floors and fireplace and this sit beside a room which is currently used as a study or could be children’s playroom. To the rear of the house is the kitchen with bay window over looking the garden and the dining room with bi-fold doors onto the generous rear garden.
The first floor is home to three double bedrooms (one with en suite) and the family bathroom and the top floor has been converted into three more bedrooms and a further bathroom.
The outside
The rear garden is a great size for the area and has two patio areas to catch the sun all day long and raised beds with mature shrubs and trees. The house also has some excellent under house storage.
