3 bed terraced house for sale

Ashton Gate Road, Southville BS3

"The house is a cosy haven amongst a wealth of local attractions. Sundays are always special. The market at the Tobacco Factory is brilliant. A treasure trove of tasty food and interesting stalls we always love to grab a coffee and have a wander around together. North Street is wonderful too, Malago is great for breakfast, the beer factory for a pint or two and Burra is just brilliant full stop. If you are in the mood for Italian just around the corner Sonny Stores is wonderful too."

The Home

A characterful three-bedroom Victorian terrace arranged over three floors and a number of thoughtful updates carried out by the current owners.

The ground floor has a hallway leading into the front living room, which has a bay window and feature fireplace. The wall between the lounge and rear reception room has been opened up, giving the ground floor a better flow while still keeping two defined living areas. New flooring has been laid throughout this level and the house has been redecorated using Coat, Farrow & Ball and Little Greene paints. The lean-to has also been made into a practical utility room for laundry, storage and everyday overflow from the kitchen. The garden can also be accessed through this room. To the rear is the kitchen, with a dining area beyond and double doors leading out to the garden.

On the first floor are two bedrooms and a family bathroom. The main bedroom is a generous double, while the second bedroom would work well as a child’s room, guest room or home office. The first-floor bedrooms have had new carpets fitted. The top floor has a further bedroom, eaves storage and a shower room giving the house a useful extra level that works well as a main bedroom, guest space or quieter work-from-home area.

Outside Space

The rear garden has been completely overhauled and thoughtfully replanted, with a new lawn and flowers. It is a good space for sitting out, gardening or having people over during the warmer months while still being manageable. The road is also a strong part of the appeal: Quiet, with little through-traffic, while still being close to North Street and its mix of independent shops, cafés and restaurants.
