Strawberry & Co – Exceptional Living, Exceptional Service

1 The Courtyard, Frenchay Park House

A truly unique one-bedroom semi-detached cottage, set within the grounds of Frenchay Park House, offering an exceptional blend of historic character and contemporary design. Thoughtfully converted and beautifully presented, this is a home that feels calm, private and entirely individual.

The Property

The cottage opens into a stunning open-plan kitchen and living space of approximately 35.8 sq m, where original stone walls, vaulted ceilings and exposed timber beams immediately set the tone. The scale of the room, combined with carefully placed glazing, creates a sense of light, volume and architectural drama while remaining warm and inviting.

The contemporary fitted kitchen is seamlessly integrated into the space, finished with sleek cabinetry, integrated appliances and generous worktop space, offering both functionality and understated elegance.

Glazed doors open directly onto a private courtyard, extending the living space outdoors and providing a quiet, secluded setting ideal for relaxing or entertaining.

Bedroom & Bathroom

A staircase leads to the mezzanine bedroom (approximately 21.9 sq m), where a glass balustrade overlooks the living area below. Exposed beams, original stonework and the vaulted ceiling give the bedroom a boutique, loft-style feel, while the generous proportions allow for a true sense of comfort and calm.

The bathroom has been beautifully designed to complement the character of the building, combining exposed stone with modern fittings to create a refined, spa-like space. Finished to a high standard, it includes a walk-in shower, WC, basin with storage and heated towel rail.

Practical Features

A large utility cupboard, discreetly positioned, houses the washing machine and provides valuable additional storage - a rare and welcome feature in a one-bedroom home.

Outdoor Space

The living area opens directly onto a private courtyard, enclosed and quietly positioned, offering a sense of seclusion rarely found in properties of this type. It provides an ideal outdoor extension to the home without the maintenance of a larger garden.

Who This Home Is Ideal For

This cottage is perfectly suited to a professional individual or couple seeking a design-led home with genuine character. It will appeal to those who value privacy, originality and craftsmanship, and who are looking for something distinctly different from a conventional one-bedroom property.

Location

Frenchay Park House is set within a peaceful and highly sought-after area, offering a rare sense of seclusion while remaining exceptionally well connected. Surrounded by mature trees and open green space, the setting provides a calm, almost countryside feel, despite being within easy reach of Bristol’s key amenities.

The location offers excellent access to Bristol city centre, uwe, Southmead Hospital and the M32, making it ideal for professionals who require convenient transport links while valuing privacy and tranquillity at home. The nearby villages of Frenchay and Downend provide a range of independent cafés, shops and local amenities, while open parkland and walking routes are close by.

This unique setting combines the best of both worlds - a discreet, characterful environment with strong connectivity - making it an exceptional place to live.
