This beautifully presented and substantial three-storey semi-detached Victorian home exudes timeless elegance and character, showcasing a wealth of original period features throughout. Ideally positioned within easy reach of Durdham Downs and the vibrant Henleaze High Street, the property offers generous and versatile accommodation perfectly suited to modern family life.
Approached via a traditional pathway, a glass front door framed by striking leaded light windows opens into a welcoming porch area. Here, two stained glass doors welcome you into the hallway featuring ornate coving, detailed architrave, and an impressive staircase that rises gracefully to the upper floors.
To the front, a spacious reception room, currently used as a dining room, enjoys a bay-fronted window and a marble fireplace. Double doors connect this room to the elegant living room, which enjoys a large multi-pane sash bay window that floods the space with natural light. A beautiful marble-surround fireplace with tiled hearth ang log burner forms a charming focal point, complemented by intricate ceiling cornices and French doors opening onto the south-facing garden.
A third reception or breakfast room, complete with exposed floorboards, leads seamlessly into a well-appointed kitchen fitted with a range of storage units and slate tiled flooring. There is ample space for modern appliances, while an archway leads through to a separate utility room housing the boiler. A cloakroom/WC completes the ground floor.
The first and second floors offer six well-proportioned family bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with an interconnecting dressing room/further bedroom, enjoying pleasant front and rear aspects. Two modern bathrooms serve the upper floors, the first floor is fitted with contemporary three-piece white suite, including separate shower enclosures and stylish tiling, whilst the second-floor bathroom features a four-piece white suite. A generous storage cupboard on the landing serves the first floor.
Externally, the south-facing rear garden provides a delightful retreat, mainly laid to lawn and framed by mature trees and planting. A paved patio area offers the perfect spot for al fresco dining, accessible directly from both the rear reception and the kitchen. A rear pathway leads to a brick-built driveway with modern gates, providing secure vehicular and pedestrian access from the rear lane connecting Henleaze Road and Henleaze Gardens. A useful garden shed adds further practicality.
