5 Bed Detached House For Sale

A beautifully presented and exceedingly spacious Victorian semi - set up and back from the road within the sought after area of St Andrews.



Overview



This impressive Victorian property Circa 1871 has been thoroughly updated and lovingly maintained by the current owners of some 31 years. The space, light and views on offer here are something that need to be seen to fully appreciate. Adding to the appeal are the many retained period features that sit seamlessly alongside modern fresh décor - these include ornate ceiling cornice, attractive marble fireplaces and wooden panelled doors.

A major project completed is the stunning loft conversion - providing one very large master suite making up the full plan of the property.

Although one open space, the architect has cleverly thought through the design process to zone into clearly defined areas. A lounge sits in front of four large Velux windows, that allow natural light to flood in, whilst also giving the most interesting and far reaching views. Built in work surfaces give an ideal work from home / craft space, with the eaves providing lots of handy storage. A very well appointed shower room with natural stone tiling, modern white suite and generous shower enclosure completes the top floor.

The first floor has a large central landing, that opens into four generous double bedrooms and the family bathroom.

Stairs lead down to the entrance hall - a truly impressive first impression upon entering the property. This side accessed design makes for a practical and efficient layout. To the front are two generous principal receptions, the first incorporates the large bay window inset with double glazed sash windows. The bay also retains its original panelling - alongside the fireplace - adds to the grand feel. The 2nd reception is currently used as a spacious and ideal work from home office, but could serve various other purposes.

The rear of the property has been opened up to create a full width kitchen / diner. This makes a fantastic entertaining / family space, it includes a hand built wooden kitchen, AGA oven and double doors opening into the rear garden.

Back into the entrance hall and neatly tucked is a WC, opposite and under the main staircase are stairs running down to the lower ground floor. Made up of two rooms (correlating to the two principal receptions above) this is a highly useful floor currently arranged as a workshop and large storage area. A door has been added to the front elevation giving independent access to the lower ground floor through the front garden.



Outside



The front garden has been beautifully landscaped, offering a gently sweeping path from pavement level - passing well stocked boarders and beneath attractive blossom trees - all the way up to the front door.

The rear garden again is beautifully maintained, with a thought to achieving interest and colour throughout the seasons. As the plot is set up and back from the road, both front and rear gardens are attractive spots to enjoy and full of sunshine.



Location



St Andrews is popular leafy suburb - its includes one of Bristol's best loved parks, a number of sought after primary schools and has direct access to the best part of Gloucester Road - lined with many independents shops, restaurants and cafe's. Major transport links, useful cycle routes and the city centre are also close by.



We think...



It is rare to find such a beautifully maintained and and large family home - located in a highly desirable part of St Andrews.
