Semi-detached house for sale in Broadway Road, Bishopston, Bristol BS7

This imposing Victorian home, located on a tree-lined road in much sought-after West Bishopston, boasts well-proportioned rooms, with elements of character throughout including stripped wooden floors, fireplaces and high corniced ceilings.

Located moments from thriving Gloucester Road with its vast array of independent shops, bars and restaurants, the property is also serviced by easy transport links to the city and beyond. Local primary schools, including Bishop Road and St Bonaventure’s, are nearby as well as the highly popular Redland Green Secondary School (approx. 600 m).

The attractive external facade, with Bath Stone accents, welcomes you as you enter the mature front garden which comes with the benefit of off street parking (an ideal location for ev charging). Following the path of scented plants to the front door, we enter the south-facing entrance porch, with a glass roof. This porch also provides side access to the rear garden.

Entering into the charming light-filled hall we find reclaimed extra-width floorboards flowing through most of the ground floor. The house has great flow and flexibility for families. The main reception room sits proudly to the front of the property, with a large bay window, inset with original stained glass, along with ornate plasterwork and working period fireplace. Alongside this wonderful room, the second reception can be found. A truly versatile space that could be your music room, playroom or study. Generously spanning the rear of the property, we find the heart of the home, the welcoming Kitchen/diner family room. It enjoys high ceilings, a solid wood kitchen and double doors onto the rear garden. Beyond, we find a very useful utility room, offering additional storage including a small larder. Plenty of natural light is provided by Velux windows, while access to the garden can be found too. The downstairs cloakroom is conveniently located to the rear of the house and comes complete with a designer sink.

From the central hall stairs lead to the first half landing where the first of the five double bedrooms can be found, a few more stairs lead us to the three further bedrooms, including the master, and the large well-appointed family bathroom. In this room, that needs to be seen to be fully appreciated, not only do we find a roll-top bath which creates a wonderful sense of luxury, but also a generous rain shower enclosure and many lovely reclaimed decorative touches. Natural light cascades down onto the landing, from the Velux above, and up the next flight of stairs leading to the fifth bedroom. Further storage is provided at the top of the house by the large, half boarded loft space, which subject to planning could provide room to extend.

Outside, the westerly facing walled garden has a wonderful sense of privacy. The present owners have landscaped the space to optimise the space, creating a generous patio which extends from the house - an ideal spot for barbecues and summer dining. Mature planting in the upper section is complemented by a wildlife pond, raised planters and paved area, currently used by the current owners as a chicken coop.<br /><br />
