Sold STC £325,000 - Semi-Detached House
Very spacious and offering light, bright and airy accommodation throughout, this is an excellent semi, with a large garden, a garage and additional parking, set in a quiet but wonderfully convenient cul-de-sac.
A positive change in circumstances means the relatively new owners of this light and bright semi are moving on much quicker than they had imagined. In their short ownership, though, they have managed to make a few improvements to what was already a lovely home. It is spacious and well presented throughout. The perfect setting for a growing family, the accommodtaion on the ground floor is essentially open-plan as the accommodation sweeps you from the entrance hall, into a modern fitted kitchen, and through into a large lounge/diner. Behind these you will find a conservatory and utility room, which might provide space for substantial extension if needed (subject to appropriate consents being obtained). Upstairs are three bedrooms, one of which has a full wall of built-in storage, plus a modern white bathroom. Large windows in all of these rooms maintain the theme of light and airiness that is so evident downstairs. Whilst the overall feel of the property is very contemporary, the fantasic sliding living room door, reclaimed from a church in Portishead, provides a wonderful contrast. The gardens to front and rear are of a good size, level and reasonably secluded, with patio areas and lawns at the rear enjoying the sunshine during most of the day, and the overhang of the roof at the front (coupled with the house fronting onto grassland and a footpath, rather than a road) providing a great spot to catch the last of the sun’s rays while sipping your favourite evening tipple. To the rear is a detached garage, plus off-street parking for two cars.

LOCATION:
Many people think of Yate as a New Town, constructed following the Second World War, and to a certain degree this is true. But Yate actually dates back thousands of years, and it is thought its name is derived from an Anglo-Saxon word meaning “gate”. An “American-style” shopping mall was built in the 1960s (as was much of the housing we see today, including this house), and still exists – nowadays enhanced by various supermarkets, eateries and other businesses in the locality. All of this is within a 5 minute drive or 30 minute walk of this property. Closer to home are various schools, which will please parents, and parks (including The Common and Kingsgate Park) which should make dog-owners happy! Yate Rail Station is less than a mile away, providing hourly services between Gloucester to the north and Westbury in Wiltshire, via Bristol Temple Meads, and regular bus services from the park-and-ride run into Central Bristol, Winterbourne, Kingswood and Filton College.
