For Sale £525,000 - Semi-Detached House
This bright and cheerful 1930s three-bedroom semi offers excellent accommodation for a growing family, with potential (and even a planning application currently being processed) to extend, off-street parking, and a super south-easterly rear garden!
Situated very close to (actually backing onto) a popular primary school, and within a walk of about half a mile to the entrance of Southmead Hospital’s A&E department, this 1930s three-bedroom semi is extremely well located! Added to this, the rear garden is south-easterly, beautifully stocked, pleasantly landscaped, and has been designed to ensure al fresco dining is do-able all year round! And there is a driveway, too, and a garage (subject to limited width access), which means parking off or on the road (across your own dropped kerb) makes life much easier. Inside, the house offers two reception rooms of generous proportions, and a planning application has been submitted to build a wrap-around ground-floor extension that would enlarge the kitchen (and open into the large dining room at the same time), create a utility room and provide additional storage.

Rear Garden w: 27′ 6″ x l: 50′ (w: 8.38m x l: 15.24m)
Very much a highlight. South-easterly, secluded and landscaped to ensure enjoyment all year round. Paved patio with flower borders; 3 steps up to lawn with stepping stone path and further borders; 5 more steps climb to full-width sun terrace including purpose-built barbecue and veg patch! The garden backs onto school grounds so is quiet for much of the time, and full of established perennials, shrubs and trees. The borders planted full of Spring bulbs. The garden has been planted lovingly for year-round interest. The lower sheltered patio can be used on a mild February evening for a firepit, and the upper sun terrace catches the last of the sun’s rays as it sets. The quiet outlook means the garden is rich in wildlife, with owls and bats taking advantage of the nightly calm. The built-in BBQ is perfectly situated to take advantage of the Southerly aspect and the walls and fences protect the area from prevailing wind, so there is no season where fire-pits and BBQ’s are off limits.
LOCATION:
Situated close to Wellington Hill West, on the edge of Henleaze, and Horfield Common to provide dog-walking and leisure activities, this house offers good access into the City (the No 13 bus will take you into Broadmead). Bristol Parkway Rail Station can be reached (on a good day) in quarter of an hour by car, as can the M32 motorway. Closer to home, Southmead Hospital is just around the corner, so it’s ideal for employees or regular visitors, and a very popular primary school is more or less next door.
