3 bed terraced house for sale

Greenbank Avenue East, Greenbank BS5

“I love starting the day in my sun-trap of a garden, coffee in hand, catching the early sun and the birds nudging me to get on with the day. The south-facing extension transformed the house, flooding the living and dining space with light and making it perfect for gathering friends. I also love knowing that the minute I walk out the door, i’ll bump into neighbours and friends. It’s that mix of home and community that makes Greenbank so hard to leave.”

The house

This lovely three-bedroom Victorian terrace in Greenbank offers a wonderful amount of light and space. Arranged over three floors, the home strikes a lovely balance between period character and more contemporary touches, making it a genuinely distinctive house for the area.

At the front, the living room is a bright, characterful space with a bay window and an art deco working fireplace as a lovely focal point & making the room feel really cosy in the winter. To the rear, the kitchen is fitted with painted cabinetry and engineered oak worktops, opening through to a fantastic south-facing lounge/diner extension. Flooded with natural light from twin skylights and glazed doors opening straight onto the garden, it is a brilliant sociable space, equally suited to relaxed everyday living or entertaining. The southerly aspect gives the extension a particularly light and sunny feel throughout the day.

The first floor offers two well-proportioned bedrooms, along with the bathroom, with restored wooden flooring running throughout. The second floor is home to a wonderful principal bedroom - a lovely light, airy space with two Velux windows and plenty of room for furniture. Tucked away at the top of the house in the original loft room, preserved exposed wooden beams give the space real period charm.

The outside space

The south-facing garden is a lovely green spot, mainly laid to lawn with established planting and mature trees giving it a leafy, private feel. A paved patio area immediately outside the house is ideal for outdoor dining, with plenty of room further down the garden for children to play or for keen gardeners to get stuck in. The garden’s southerly orientation also complements the extension beautifully, bringing plenty of natural light into the rear of the house.
