2 bed flat for sale

Maxse Road, Knowle BS4

"I love the character of the parquet flooring and the beautiful natural light that fills the house—there’s a reason artists favour northern light. It’s so peaceful here, with a lovely sense of community and genuinely kind neighbours. The rooms are spacious yet cosy, and over the years i’ve made great friends on the street and nearby. It’s a warm, welcoming place to call home."

A wonderful two bedroom maisonette situated in a former school on Maxse Road in the popular pocket of Victorian homes between Wells Road and Bath Road. One of the real benefits of this property is the amount and variety of parks and green spaces within a short distance. Arnos Vale Cemetery, Redcatch Park and Community Garden and Perretts Park with its popular café are all within 10 minutes walk from the house. The expansive Victoria Park and Callington Road Nature Reserve are also nearby, providing brilliant open spaces for the summer or for walking the dog all year round. The area is easily commutable from Bristol City Centre, approximately 30 minutes walk, a short cycle or bus journey down Wells Road. The area also has lots of amenities on the doorstep with Wells Road recently becoming home to more and more popular bars, cafes and restaurants. The Knowle Pub is just a short walk away and is a great spot for a Sunday lunch or a beer in the garden.

The Old School House is a grand Queen Anne-style building full of character, showcasing beautiful original features and an impressive sense of scale. This particular home stands out within the building, offering three full floors of accommodation rather than the split-level layout found in some of the other apartments. It offers generous living and bedroom space throughout, all enhanced by handsome arched windows. You’re welcomed on the ground floor by a stunning open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area with elegant Victorian parquet flooring, and wooden worktops. The space feels both expansive and inviting, with the added practicality of a downstairs W/C off a roomy hall. The lower ground floor, currently used as a yoga studio with underfloor heating, offers versatility and could easily be reimagined as a large second living space, aided by large windows that fill the area with natural light. On the first floor, you’ll find two well-proportioned double bedrooms and a stylish bathroom, rounding off this truly distinctive and beautifully designed home. The property also benefits from its own allocated parking space (with its own EV charging point) conveniently in view of the apartment.
