4 bed terraced house for sale

Berkeley Road, Bishopston BS7

A four-bedroom Victorian family home on one of Bishopston's premier roads with the rare advantage of a 130ft south-facing garden and off-street parking.

The property is close to the independent shops, cafés and restaurants lining the popular Gloucester Road, and within a few hundred metres of Redland Green Secondary School, as well as both Bishop Road and St Bonaventure's Primary Schools. The property is also close to popular green spaces, including St Andrews Park and Horfield Common, and is within walking distance of the City Centre.

The flexible accommodation is split across three floors, plus a spacious cellar which is currently used for storage. Briefly, it comprises: A sitting room and decked terrace on the entrance floor, a kitchen/breakfast room, a bathroom, and a dining room (which can be used as a fourth bedroom) on the first floor, with a further three bedrooms on the upper floor.

Entering the property through an entrance vestibule, a part-glazed door opens immediately into the sitting room. The sitting room extends the entire width and depth of the property and features a double-glazed sash window to the front, an inbuilt cabinet with part-glazed doors, a cast-iron period fireplace with a gas living flame and a staircase leading to the first floor. A double-glazed door and windows lead onto a glorious south-facing decked terrace with views over and steps down to the rear garden.

On the first floor, the formal dining room could be used as a fourth bedroom and extends across the entire width of the property. The room features two double-glazed sash windows to the front, and has doors to the landing and the kitchen/breakfast room. The kitchen has been fitted with a range of wall and base units, roll-edge worktops, space and plumbing for appliances, a four-person breakfast table, and a double-glazed window with far-reaching city views towards Redland. The adjacent bathroom comprises a panelled bath with an electric shower over, a pedestal wash hand basin, a w.c, a wall-hung heated towel rail and a double-glazed window to the rear.

Stairs rise to three bedrooms on the second floor. Bedroom one is similar in size to the dining room/bedroom four below and has double-glazed windows to the front and two fitted wardrobes. Across the hall, bedrooms two and three both have large double-glazed windows which frame impressive City views with the picturesque Somerset hills beyond.

The generous cellars on the lower ground floor have been advantageous to the current owners in their 40+ years of ownership. It’s given them practical storage solutions, and with level access to the gardens, the wash hand basin has been useful for tending to the garden. There is also a working w.c.

The wonderful south-facing rear garden extends an impressive 130ft in length and has been carefully landscaped to incorporate multi-use spaces. Accessing the garden from the terrace, steps lead down to an undercroft storage area and a door to the cellars. Beyond, a pathway extends along an extensive lawn and is flanked by a range of plants, shrubs and trees, creating a wall of greenery and colour. The garden is a gardener's paradise and a rare asset so close to the Gloucester Road and the city centre, providing a sense of the country in a City setting.

The front of the property is block-paved with ample off-street parking.
