The home

A spacious, polished and stylishly finished home in an incredible setting backing onto the allotments on the borders of Bishopston and Henleaze. With a layout that's perfect for modern family life and a balanced blend of character and contemporary, it's a turnkey home in a great area for schools. The downstairs is divided into two excellent rooms, the open plan kitchen/living is at the rear looking onto the garden. Spacious and light with a homely vibe it really is the heartbeat of the home and a wonderful space to host or just spend time with the family. The kitchen units are topped with wooden counters, providing loads or workspace and storage as well creating a rustic feel. They are complimented by bespoke shelving and a hardwearing LTV floor. The lounge is a great size yet remains cozy, with beautiful engineered oak flooring and a log burner, it's a great hang out in the winter months and catches the evening sun in the summer. There's also is a super handy gardeners loo by the back door and a generous understairs storage cupboard.

The extension really comes to the fore upstairs with three excellent bedrooms, something that's quite rare in this location in the Victorian or 1930's homes that make up the vast majority of the postcode. The main bedroom stretches the full width of the front elevation, creating a wonderful retreat with elegant stripped flooring and great walk in wardrobe. Both the second and third bedrooms are good doubles, keeping everyone happy and no one short strawed!! The family bathroom is finished with pretty patterned tiles and a classic white suite, creating a chic space that's an invigorating start or relaxing end to any day.

The outside

The rear garden is just wonderful, with long reaching views across the city and beyond. Landscaped beautifully with a southerly aspect, York stone pathway and seating area, oak sleeper beds and a number of mature trees providing shady spots in the summer. It's a real stand out in an area of Bristol known for having exceptional gardens. The addition of a  multifunction garden room takes so much pressure off of the home itself, freeing each room for it's intended use. Clad with high quality, low maintenance heat treated timber, it's nestled sympathetically within the garden and provides the feeling of being emersed in nature, whilst enjoying the comforts of indoor living. When used as an office, it creates that all important mental separation that means you are working from home and not living at work. Lastly and maybe best of all is the gate through to Horfield Allotments, providing a real feeling of space and a slice of nature in the heart of the city.
