We love how green and sunny the garden is; having friends over for pizza while the kids run around the garden is one of our favourite things to do. We also really love the community on our road, we regularly have coffee with neighbours, fetch parcels in, sing carols together and share all sorts of things on the road WhatsApp group!
The Home
This extended four-bedroom house has been lovingly refurbished by the current owners over the years to create a high spec, welcoming family home. Beautiful hardwood flooring runs throughout the ground floor which features a front reception room and then an open plan kitchen dining room to the rear which also features a convenient laundry space. The space is great for hosting dinner parties with friends or family meals. Upstairs there are two generous double bedrooms and then a smaller third which could also fit a double bed at a squeeze, but also a family bathroom. The loft has been converted with an impressive dormer to create a main bedroom and accompanying en suite bathroom. The owners have also added on a spacious front vestibule, ideal for pulling off muddy boots before coming into the welcoming hallway.
The Outside
Set back from the road at the front there is currently a front garden to the property however plenty of residents on the road have dropped the curb to create a couple of off-street parking spaces should you so wish (subject to planning permission). Double doors at the rear lead out onto a generous rear garden which extends all the way to a lane at the rear for convenient access for bikes. There is a raised decking area at the end of the garden which is a real suntrap and benefits from plenty of evening sun. There is also a small workshop in the garden which is currently used for storage.
Living in Horfield
Dovercourt Road is a popular residential road in Horfield with plenty of green space right on your doorstep, situated between Horfield allotments and Concorde Way. This property is conveniently located within easy reach of the numerous popular independent shops and amenities of Gloucester Road as well as Ashley Down Road. Venues such as FED, The Lazy Dog, and Per & Kor are a fantastic range of eateries for people to enjoy, as well as a number of other independents including Gloucester Road Books, Rambling Rose, and Fancy Plants in the local vicinity to name a few. For wider shopping needs Lidl and Aldi are both just around the corner as is the access to the newly opened Ashley Down Train Station. This house would be great for a young couple or established family as there are some really popular schools nearby such as the Trinity Academy less than a 20-minute walk away.
