7 bed detached house for sale

Claremont Road, Bishopston BS7

A truly unique proposition in much-desired West Bishopston, this characterful four-storey detached period home offers a rare opportunity to create a fantastic and highly individual family residence. Set on a generous plot and retaining many of its original features, the property provides an abundance of charm, impressive proportions and exceptional flexibility across its four floors. Currently arranged as three apartments, the property offers considerable scope for reconfiguration and, with imagination, could become something particularly special.

The location is equally compelling. Positioned within the area of first priority for Redland Green School, the property is ideally placed for families, whilst the extensive amenities of Gloucester Road are close at hand. This popular thoroughfare offers a fantastic choice of independent retailers, cafés, restaurants, bars and eateries, alongside a wealth of everyday conveniences. The surrounding area also provides excellent access to transport links and the wider attractions of Bristol.

The accommodation currently provides a fascinating insight into the scale and versatility of the property. The lower floor is presently arranged with a bay-fronted lounge, two bedrooms, a useful additional area which could provide storage or a study, shower room and kitchen. The existing kitchen could, within a future family-home configuration, lend itself particularly well to becoming a dedicated utility and laundry room, creating a highly practical area away from the main living accommodation.

The principal ground floor offers further impressive accommodation, with two additional bedrooms that could, subject to the preferred layout and any necessary consents, make exceptional reception rooms within a future family home. Alongside these are a spacious and particularly characterful lounge, bathroom and kitchen. The existing arrangement provides a substantial amount of living space, whilst the original features and proportions offer an excellent foundation for creating a home that combines period character with the requirements of modern family life.

The upper two floors are currently arranged as a separate maisonette, with its own independent access to the side of the property. This area provides a further four generous bedrooms, creating considerable potential for a substantial family bedroom arrangement. There is also an additional reception room featuring a bay window and impressive views, together with a kitchen and shower room. The upper levels could therefore offer a wonderful private bedroom and family space within a reconfigured home, or provide a degree of independence for older children, guests or extended family.

One of the property's most appealing features is the generous mature garden to the rear. Enjoying a southerly aspect, the garden provides a well-proportioned outside space with established planting and a mature character, extending slightly around the side of the property. There is ample scope to create different areas for outdoor dining, entertaining, relaxation and family enjoyment, whilst the southerly orientation offers excellent potential for making the most of the sunshine throughout the day.

The detached nature of the property is particularly noteworthy, offering a level of privacy and individuality that is increasingly difficult to find in this sought-after part of Bishopston. Combined with four floors of accommodation, a generous plot, mature southerly garden and numerous original features, the property provides an exceptional canvas for someone looking to create a home that is genuinely their own.

Whilst currently arranged as three apartments, the property offers an exciting opportunity to rethink the accommodation entirely. With a little imagination, the existing rooms could be brought together to create an impressive and individual family home, potentially incorporating substantial reception space, a large kitchen/family room, dedicated utility facilities, numerous bedrooms and flexible areas for home working, guests or extended family, subject to the necessary planning and building regulations.

Properties offering this combination of four-storey detached period accommodation, generous grounds, original character and such a sought-after West Bishopston location are rarely available. With Redland Green School within the first priority area and Gloucester Road's exceptional amenities so close by, this is an opportunity to create something genuinely special in one of Bristol's most desirable residential locations.
