"Waking up to make a coffee. Waiting for the kettle to boil listening to the birdsong, stirring the pot watching squirrels leap between the trees. Taking my coffee to my desk to begin my day, the light of the morning and the sound of nature for accompaniment."
The Home
Occupying a peaceful position with attractive open views, this beautifully refurbished two-bedroom home offers an exceptional sense of space and natural light throughout. Thoughtfully updated to a high standard, the property combines contemporary finishes with generous proportions, creating a home that feels both stylish and effortlessly comfortable.
A real highlight is the home's rare triple-aspect design. Large windows on three elevations flood each room with natural light throughout the day, while high ceilings and a particularly wide entrance hall create an immediate feeling of openness. The principal living space is wonderfully bright and airy, enjoying an almost loft-like atmosphere that is seldom found in homes of this style.
The west-facing sitting room enjoys the afternoon and evening sun, providing a warm and inviting space to relax or entertain. The adjoining south-facing kitchen has been fitted with a quality Symphony kitchen, offering integrated appliances, excellent storage and generous worktop space, perfectly balancing practicality with contemporary design.
Both bedrooms are well-proportioned and enjoy a peaceful outlook, with the second currently arranged as a home office, demonstrating the flexibility of the accommodation. Positioned between the two is a beautifully finished bathroom, thoughtfully designed with modern fittings and a timeless finish.
Meticulously maintained since its refurbishment, the home offers a wonderful sense of calm, complemented by its quiet setting and elevated outlook. With an abundance of natural light, allocated parking and high-quality finishes throughout, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented home in one of South Bristol's most sought-after locations.
