An impressive and much-improved three-storey, five-bedroom period residence measuring approx. 2284 sq.ft. Situated on the prestigious Downs Park East, Westbury Park. Offering character and classic original features combined with modern fixtures and fittings, this substantial family home enjoys an enviable position, just a short stroll from the open green expanse of Durdham Downs and the independent shops, cafes, and amenities of North View.
Ground Floor
The vestibule provides a useful hanging space for coats, and retains attractive Terrazzo flooring that is original to the property.
Entering the hallway, there is a particularly pleasing vista through to the kitchen that is accentuated by a Crittall-style door, allowing natural light to seamlessly flow through the ground floor.
The lounge offers excellent proportions characteristic of the Edwardian era, complete with high ceilings and a large bay. Colour-drenched in Farrow & Ball, there is no shortage of natural light flooding the room, making the most of the original features that are retained including the picture rails, coving, door and architrave.
The second reception room offers similarly generous proportions, and retains original picture rails, architrave, doorway and fireplace - within which there is in-built storage. A large sash window offers an outlook of the rear courtyard and garden.
The generous staircase is a superb example of Edwardian craftsmanship, decorated in dark tones and finished with a runner, ascending to the first floor landing. Completing the ground floor is a useful understairs cloak room comprising a WC and basin.
The kitchen/diner is situated to the rear of the property, and with its dual aspect windows welcomes in plenty of natural light. Tiled flooring is complemented by a range of base and wall-mounted units, integrated hob, electric oven & grill, and stainless steel sink with drainer. From the kitchen/diner is direct access to the rear garden.
First Floor
The first floor features three bedrooms and a bathroom, accessible from a most impressive landing that is light-filled and decorated immaculately in contemporary tones.
The master bedroom is most impressive; spanning the width of the property, it features a deep bay from which there is access to a private balcony and is fitted with uPVC windows. Complementing the modern choice of décor are original picture rails, coving and architrave. Completing this room is the built-in wardrobes that are fitted to the near wall, providing a seamless wealth of storage.
Adjacent, bedroom two is a double bedroom retaining picture rails and large, rear-facing sash window, and is fitted with built-in wardrobes to both recesses. To the rear of the first floor is bedroom three, also a comfortable double with an outlook of the rear garden.
Completing the first floor is the family bathroom; fitted with a four-piece suite comprised of a corner bath, WC, basin and bidet.
Second Floor
The second floor offers two further bedrooms, both of which are very comfortable doubles with built-in storage. The front facing room offers a particularly pleasing outlook from a wide, deep bay, and is used by the current owners as a home working space with a built-in workspace to the near wall. The rear bedroom, decorated neutrally, offers a view of the rear garden.
Completing this floor is a bathroom, fitted with a white four-piece suite comprising a bath with shower over, basin, WC and bidet, with substantial storage accessible from the rear of the room.
Externally
The front elevation of the property offers wonderful curb appeal owing to the Edwardian architecture, featuring a private balcony, double bay and well-maintained exterior.
The front garden is a low-maintenance space featuring mature hedges to the boundaries, dwarf wall, and Terrazzo flooring to the porch, leading in turn to the vestibule.
The rear garden is level, and comprises a sizeable Italian porcelain tiled patio to the side elevation, a lawned area, and another patio to the rear of the garden that benefits from a sunny aspect through much of the afternoon making it ideal for al fresco dining. Raised beds to the rear offer privacy, and there are further flower beds to the boundary wall.
Vendors' Comments
"We’ve absolutely loved living here and it has been a wonderful family home. One of the things we’ve appreciated most is how much space the house gives you, there’s plenty of room for family life, while still having separate spaces to work, relax or have people to stay.
It’s also been such a lovely street to live on. We have been incredibly lucky with our Neighbours, and there is a friendly sense of community, which has made it a particularly special place to bring up our family. The location has been a huge part of why we’ve enjoyed living here too. Being so close to the Downs is brilliant, particularly with children, and we love being able to walk there so easily. At the same time, you have all the cafés, shops and amenities of Westbury Park and Henleaze nearby, so everything feels very accessible.
We’ve made lots of happy memories here and will be genuinely sad to leave. It’s a house that has worked incredibly well for us as our family has grown, and we hope the next owners will enjoy it just as much as we have."
