2 bed terraced house for sale

Staple Hill Road, Fishponds BS16

"We have wonderful neighbours from number twenty one until Eddy's Domestic shop. The house itself has quirkily little cottage features about it inside. And from the outside the building looks small but it’s actual a very good size with an amazing large master bedroom. We love closing the blinds on the evenings and putting on our log burner when it’s cooler. We are very proud of the amount of hard work and work has gone into making our home cosy and a place we love coming home to on an evening."

The home

A beautifully presented two-bedroom home on Staple Hill Road in Fishponds, extending to approximately 947 sq ft, with a warm and considered interior that blends character features with modern touches. The ground floor centres around a generous dining room, with attractive daydo rails, soft neutral decoration and access towards the rear of the property. The adjoining kitchen has been fitted with shaker-style cabinetry, timber-effect worktops and a colourful patterned tiled splashback, with plenty of natural light and useful storage. The living room is a particularly welcoming space, featuring an exposed-brick fireplace and timber mantel, alongside plenty of room for seating.

Upstairs are two well-proportioned bedrooms, including an impressive principal bedroom of over 21 sqm, offering plenty of space for a king-size bed, furniture and additional seating or workspace. The second bedroom is also a comfortable double. The bathroom combines classic white metro tiling with patterned floor tiles and contemporary black fittings, with a bath and overhead shower, WC and wash basin. Throughout, the house has been thoughtfully decorated in soft neutral tones, with timber details and colourful accents creating a relaxed, homely feel.

Since purchasing the home ten years ago, the sellers have added a new roof, new boiler (seven years ago), new windows throughout, new front and back door, replastered all rooms, plus completely renovated the kitchen and bathroom.

The outside space

The north-facing garden is a real highlight, making excellent use of the space with a mix of decked areas, planted borders and several spots to sit and relax. Despite its northerly aspect, the garden enjoys surprisingly good levels of sunshine, with the open layout helping to capture plenty of natural light throughout the day. There’s a covered seating area with a timber pergola, creating a lovely spot for outdoor dining or entertaining, while the hot tub and various seating areas give the garden a relaxed, sociable feel. A useful timber outbuilding sits at the far end, with the whole space feeling private, characterful and very well suited to summer living.
