"I love being able to look out at the gorgeous view from the back of the house, it's always a joy regardless of the time of day - though the sunrise is especially nice. The location is dreamy as well, with easy access to many of Bristol's joys. We can easily pop down the hill through the allotments to visit the city farm and local pub, stretch our legs a little more for a walk around Purdown, or head more into the city for one of the many fun and interesting things going on."
The home
With incredible views across North Bristol, loads of space, light and a homely vibe this 1930's home is perfect for a growing family. The layout is classic 1930's, you enter a broad hallway with a welcoming stripped floor and view straight through to the rear. On the left is the lounge, with a bold and cheerful colour palate and west facing box bay window, it's a a great space for chilling out at any time of day. Through to the dining room and we see the view in all its glory for the first time. Bathed in light in the morning, you can watch the changing of the seasons, balloons and fireworks from your dining table. The kitchen has a rustic feel with wooden counter tops and plenty of storage and across the rear of the home is a glazed verandah which is perfect for watching the sun come up with a morning coffee.
Upstairs are two excellent double bedrooms and a great sized third bedroom. as well as a stylishly finished bathroom with classic white suite. The views are even better than downstairs and there's potential for a superb loft conversion subject to approval. Beneath the house and accessed via an external staircase is a large four room cellar that encompasses the full footprint of the property.
The outside
The rear garden is large, lush and incredibly private. With a southeasterly aspect and mature pine trees, there spots to sun worship or sit in the shade at all times of day. Accessed off the rear lane is a double garage which could easily be converted into a studio.
