Blending period charm with modern quality throughout, the ground floor is stylish and spacious. The living room is large, with a bay window that has stained glass and shutters, a fireplace with a log burner and ornate celling rose and cornicing, some of which has been moulded and reproduced to sympathetically restore where required. Further restored cornicing, an original tiled floor and original stained glass in the door through to the entrance are found in the hallway that connects the lounge to the rest of the ground floor space.
There is a sitting/family room which provides a perfect chill out space for the family which is connected to the kitchen through an opening and through the parquet flooring that runs between the spaces. The kitchen itself is a showstopper. The shaker-style kitchen is stylish. There is ample cupboard and counter space, even without the island. Quartz surfaces, brushed brass fixtures and the double Belfast sink amplify the high-quality feel while the integrated twin ovens, induction hob, dishwasher, fridge/freezer and wine chiller in the island blend in beautifully. Off the kitchen is the utility room which has a washing machine/tumble dryer stack, as well as a WC.
Up on the first floor are three bedrooms, all of which are doubles, and a shower room. The front bedroom is generous with shutters in its bay window, a feature fireplace, restored original floorboards and fitted wardrobes along one wall. The middle bedroom is in fact the smallest bedroom in the house but is still a spacious double while the back bedroom enjoys a bay window and an outlook over the garden. Marble-effect tiling and brushed gold fixtures bring a real feeling of luxury to the shower room on this level.
The second floor is an attic conversion that was commissioned by a previous owner and fully refurbished by the current owners. A true primary bedroom suite, there is ample space for a super king bed, wardrobes, sofa and even a free-standing bathtub! The herringbone flooring runs through the bedroom space, and there is eaves storage cleverly hidden but easily accessible. The en-suite shower room is finished in a similar vein to the one downstairs with the tiles making a colourful statement!
Additionally, the house was re-wired in and had a new central heating system installed in 2021 including new column radiators in several rooms and underfloor heating installed in both shower rooms and in the attic bedroom.
Outside
The rear garden is a generous size and catches the sun in different areas throughout the day! Having been landscaped and well maintained over the years, there is a patio area next to the adjacent to the house that is a real sun trap early in the day. A path meanders from the patio to the other end of the garden with sections of lawn and established plants and shrubs along the way. There is a deck by the summer house, placed to enjoy the sunshine, that has space for garden furniture and a BBQ! Beyond the summer house is access through to the single garage and parking space next to it. There is easy vehicle access via the lane running behind the house.
The front garden has been converted into parking which is big enough for an SUV or saloon, ideal for anyone with or planning for an electric vehicle.
Location
Hampstead Road is just off the A4 Bath Road and so has easy access both into central Bristol and out of the city entirely. Bath itself is reachable by rail - Temple Meads station is 1.7 miles away - or road with regular buses and trains or a 30 minute drive. Bristol foodie hotspots around Wapping Wharf (2.3 miles) Finzels Reach (2.1 miles) and St Nick's Market (2.2 miles) are a short journey from the front door.
Arnos Court Park and Arnos Vale Cemetery are two BS4 staples and are located at the end of the street providing a play park for little ones, a large expanse of grass and scenic woodland walks. Nightingale Valley (0.8 miles) is also close by.
There is a variety of retail options locally with smaller independent businesses lining Sandy Park Road (0.6 miles) and dotted along the nearby Wells Road and Paintworks (0.7 miles) as well as larger retail at Avonmeads (0.8 miles).
West Town Lane Academy and Holymead primary (infant site 0.6 miles, junior site 0.5 miles) cover primary schooling while Oasis Academies at Brislington (1.6 miles) and Temple Quarter (1.7) are walkable for secondary schoolers.
We think...
This is a truly stunning home! A top-tier finish, a fantastic amount of space and on the most sought-after street in the highly Brislington, this is a real gem that comes highly recommended!
