4 bed terraced house for sale

Birch Road, Southville BS3

“We have loved being able to open the bifold doors on a spring morning to enjoy a coffee under the olive trees, with the kids freely running from one room to another. Then wandering to North Street in afternoon chatting to neighbours on the way. In the evening, retreating to the loft for the sunset (and seeing hot air balloons float past!).”

The home

A great mid terrace family home which has been extended and remodelled by the current owners. Downstairs the living room is at the front with a log burner and bay window, keeping the room light and bright. This room has been opened up to the second reception room which would work well as a dining room or a playroom and has double doors onto the rear garden. The back of the house has been remodelled to create a fab kitchen/diner with a fitted magnet kitchen, solid wood worktops and bifold doors to the garden. Up the first floor are three bedrooms (two of which are doubles) and the family bathroom and the loft has been converted into a gorgeous master bedroom, with Velux windows, fitted wardrobes, floor to ceiling windows and a large shower room with double sinks.

The outside

The rear garden has a large paved area for outdoor dining, an Astro turf lawn and raised beds which houses a wonderful Olive tree.
