Having been extensively renovated by the current owners, this is a home for someone to move into and enjoy from day one! On the ground floor, the living room is off the hallway at the front of the house and enjoys a bay window giving a view down the street opposite, restored original floorboards and the high ceilings and cornicing that are characteristic of a Victorian home. At the back of the house are the kitchen and dining room which have been combined to create an open family hub within the house. The dining area spans the width of the house with more original floorboards, shelving built into one of the alcoves and plenty of light coming in through the bi-folding doors that lead on to the garden!
The kitchen is a contemporary design and features ample cupboard and counter space, integrated appliances including a dishwasher, fridge/freezer and washing machine and metro tiling on the walls offering a stylish contrast to the hexagonal floor tiling.
On the first floor are the first two bedrooms, both of which are doubles, and the family bathroom. The bedroom overlooking the garden space has a wardrobe built into one of the alcoves leaving space for other furnishings while the front bedroom, altered slightly to make room for the second staircase, has a bay window and and storage cupboard added in the alteration. Both rooms are ideal for children to grow into or for guests or use as multi-purpose rooms. The bathroom is stylishly finished with a white suite including a shower over the bath and tiling around the bath that gives a beautiful pop of colour that draws the eye.
Lastly, up in the loft which was converted in 2015, is the main bedroom. Offering views over the local area and beyond toward the hills around Failand, the bedroom is sizeable with room for a super-king size bed as well as the other essential furniture. There is also a room, currently set up as a study, that could easily be converted into an en-suite shower room, an "off" suite accessed form the landing that can be used by the rest of the house or a walk in wardrobe for those not needing an office space.
Outside
The rear garden is a low maintenance space with decked tiers leading up from the doors on to the garden from the house. With established shrubbery on the right boundary and venetian-style fencing atop the original brick walls on the left and rear, there is a feeling of privacy wherever you are. Filling the space with potted and climbing plants gives the opportunity to make the space a green haven with minimal garden effort required!
The front garden is similarly low maintenance having been paved with a few plants dotted throughout. There is also space for a bike store.
Location
Kensal Road is extremely well located, close to St John's Lane and the connectivity that brings (without any of the noise!) Within a few minutes' walk to Victoria Park itself , The Victoria Park Pub and The Rising Sun pub in Windmill Hill. The hugely popular North Street with its independent shops, cafes and restaurants is around a 20 minute walk away and access into central Bristol is easy with Wapping Wharf 1 mile away and Temple Meads 1.1 miles (15 minutes' walk) away across Victoria Park.
For those with small children or those planning a family in the future, the house couldn't be better placed for access to quality primary schooling with Victoria Park primary school visible from the doorstep, just at the end of the street.
We think...
This is a beautiful home in an popular location, ideal for those looking for more space and/or wanting to get children into a highly sought after primary school!
