Occupying a tremendous location backing directly onto the open green space of the Golden Hill Sports Ground, this well-presented 1930s semi-detached residence has been thoughtfully extended to create a spacious family home. Offered with no onward chain.
Vendor's Comments -
"The house is a wonderful, quiet, and spacious family home. Although very well located between the centre of Bristol and the major employment centres in Filton/Patchway, the road itself is very quiet and makes the house a very private and peaceful place to live.
The sun reaches every room (except the downstairs bathroom), with the sun setting over the playing field to the rear and South-West of the house. Henleaze's schools are a short and safe walk from the house, as is Henleaze Road. In the other direction, Golden Hill Tesco and Horfield Common are only a 5-minute walk, with the amenities of Henleaze, Gloucester Road, Westbury, and Clifton all easily accessible."
Internally -
Entering through a uPVC door into the porch, you will find space for storing shoes and coats. From here, via the original door, you enter a welcoming hallway.
Occupying the front elevation of the property is the lounge, offering comfortable proportions including high ceilings and a wide bay window. To the rear, the property has been substantially extended across both the kitchen and dining area, creating sizeable rooms benefiting from plentiful natural light. The dining area features patio doors leading to the garden, providing a pleasing outlook. The kitchen is fitted with high-gloss white modern Shaker-style units, black worktops, and integrated appliances. A breakfast room is situated adjacent.
Completing the ground floor is a shower room featuring built-in storage, a WC, a shower enclosure, and a basin.
Ascending to the first floor, you will find a wide landing illuminated by a window to the side elevation, allowing access to the family bathroom, two double bedrooms, and a sizeable single bedroom.
The master bedroom is a bay-fronted room offering generous proportions. The second bedroom is also a generous double, offering spectacular rear-facing views of the garden, sports field, and Henleaze beyond. The third bedroom, meanwhile, is a well-proportioned single.
The bathroom is fitted with a matching four-piece suite comprising a bath, WC, basin, and walk-in shower enclosure, complemented by wall tiles and vinyl flooring.
While in need of some modernising, the property has been superbly maintained by the current owners. The layout would likely allow for a substantial loft conversion without sacrificing any of the first-floor rooms, subject to the necessary permissions. Such a conversion would allow for wonderful, far-reaching views of Bristol from the rear elevation.
Externally -
To the rear, the house features a mature garden that leads directly onto the Golden Hill Sports Field via gated access. The garden has been lovingly curated by the current owners over many years and features a wide range of shrubs, flowers, and trees. For families, the benefit of direct access to the playing fields cannot be overstated.
To the front of the property is a pretty, low-maintenance garden, a driveway, and access to the garage/workshop.
