3 bed semi-detached house for sale

High Street, Staple Hill BS16

"Moving on from this house won’t be easy, we have loved living here and starting a family. We renovated it to a high standard and didn’t anticipate having to move so soon. The storage space is invaluable for busy family life, and the layout of indoor-outdoor space flows perfectly when entertaining. The courtyard gets just the right amount of sun for barbecues and play dates. We will miss being able to walk to Page Park with our kids, and the incredible local bars and restaurants like Fed and the Crafty Egg. The Bristol to Bath Cycle Path only one minute away which is super convenient."

Staple Hill is a popular high street of shops and cafes; the property also lies equidistant to Fishponds and Downend high streets.

House:

This large Victorian home is over 2000 sq ft, set back from the high street. It was built in 1867 and has been recently renovated to an exceptionally high standard, retaining original features.

You enter via a grand entrance with Limestone tiles through wooden double-doors onto a spacious porch with original Victorian tiles. There is an airy utility room complete with Belfast sink and ample built-in storage, with stacked washing machine and dryer. There is access through to the rear courtyard.

Throughout the property there is Farrow & Ball paint and column radiators to complement further original features such as high ceilings, ornate cornicing and ceiling roses, and restored original solid wooden floorboards.

The entrance hallway has a stained glass door, and access to under-stairs cloakroom and the underground cellar which houses the boiler and unvented cylinder for excellent water pressure. This area also provides excellent further storage.

The bright front living room has a large bay window, and is split into an office and TV-room.
The second reception room, currently being used as a family/dining room, has a cast-iron log burner with double glazed bay French doors opening onto the courtyard.

The open-plan kitchen/living space also opens out onto the courtyard, and houses a shaker-style kitchen, smeg range cooker, plumbed American-style fridge-freezer, integrated dishwasher and Belfast sink. This space is complete with air conditioning and underfloor heating for comfort. There is a downstairs WC.

Upstairs you have the three double bedrooms and family bathroom. The Primary bedroom is located to the front, with the luxury of air-conditioning, and an en-suite complete with his-and-hers sinks, marble vanity, and full size bath with overhead rainfall shower. The second and third rooms are both more than accommodating for a double bed. The shared bathroom has a walk-in shower and marble vanity.

The front of the house also has a substantial driveway with enough space to comfortably fit three cars.

To the rear of the property there is a large courtyard which connects to all 3 downstairs areas (utility, family room, kitchen), which provides elegant flow throughout the property to be used as an indoor-outdoor space for entertaining all year round.
