Vendors comments - "It will be hard to leave this neighbourhood. We’ve made such close friends on this friendly street that our neighbours may never forgive us! So many highlights from our years here - the street band that sprang up in lockdown and led to weekly pavement performances, the biannual street parties we’ve helped organise, carol singing at Christmas and regular street closures so kids can play traffic-free. Even the wobbling young cyclists from the local primary school that have used this junction for proficiency classes since the days our own children were there themselves 15 years ago. And this is all before we discuss the Gloucester Road itself - a Bristol institution! You are guaranteed the warmest of welcomes and may like us make a few lifelong friends in this very special street".
Stepping through the front door, you're greeted by the charm of Victorian architecture, with high ceilings, period features, and an inviting ambiance throughout. The spacious accommodation is spread over two levels, offering ample space for both family living and entertaining.
The ground floor boasts an attractive entrance hall - accentuated by the light filtered through the stained glass panel over the front door - bathing this space in a warm glow. To the right, the first of two receptions has a wood burning stove and an open view through the bay window along Theresa Avenue. This unusual aspect gives a great sense of space, privacy and light. The 2nd reception has a period fireplace and a large bay sash window. These versatile rooms offer the perfect setting for cosy evenings by the fire or formal gatherings with friends and family.
On from here is a great sized kitchen breakfast room with a large sash window. It's fitted with modern appliances, has ample storage (including spacious understairs larder) and is big enough to include a family sized breakfast table. Next up is a very useful utility room with a separate WC.
Upstairs on the first floor, are two double bedrooms and two single bedrooms, one of which is currently used as a study - all with period sash windows. The master bedroom has an open fireplace and a real sense of space with its views up the length of Theresa Avenue. Also upstairs is a smart family bathroom with rainfall shower over bath.
The roof-mounted solar panels and storage battery reduced the electricity bill of the vendors by 40% in 2023. In addition, any new owner will receive additional income from the ongoing feed in tariff - fixed at 0.43p per kWh generated for the next 12 years. This represents an additional income of £900+ per year, in addition to the savings on electricity bills.
Although already a great size - this property also has the potential to extend into the large loft space and into the side return on the ground floor (subject to consents). A new gas combi boiler was fitted in Autumn 2021 and the house also has a burglar alarm.
Outside
Outside, the property features a delightful rear garden, perfect for alfresco dining or enjoying a morning coffee in the sunshine. The back garden is very private, with a small wildlife pond and several mature trees and shrubs. Two seating areas are available for relaxing, working or entertaining including a large slate patio for daytime dining and a wooden ‘sundowner’ seating area which catches the afternoon sun - ideal for relaxing at the end of the day. A large shed - useful for storing bikes, firewood and garden tools is situated in the side return.
The front garden with seating and mature crab apple tree adds to the kerb appeal of this beautiful Victorian terrace.
Location
An array of local amenities are minutes away on Bristol’s famous Gloucester Road. Popular schools such as Brunel Field, Sefton Park and Ashley Down primaries, and Fairfield and Trinity Academy secondaries are all within walking distance. Nearby parks include Stoke Lodge Estate and St.Andrews Park and there are excellent transport links to Bristol City Centre and beyond.
We think...
All together this property provides an enviable lifestyle for its lucky occupants.
