4 bedroom terraced house

26 Bellevue Crescent is a beautifully proportioned, exquisitely finished and meticulously redesigned period townhouse, internally presenting all the hallmarks and finish of a modern "turn-key" property.

The owner, a long established RIBA accredited architect has redeveloped the property from the top to the bottom - with a brand new roof and a fabulous fully extended family kitchen. In between, the owner has paid particular attention to natural light, which floods the house over each floor, and the quality of finish is obvious throughout. All of the existing Victorian pine floors have been stripped back and filled; all the sash windows have been replaced or refurbished and the owner has even installed a new triple sash bay window to the first floor. The property has been re-wired throughout, with all new switches and sockets, dimmable downlighting throughout, an integral mains fire alarm system, internet cabling and USB sockets.

The central heating system is new too; with gas evacuated solar collectors on the roof connected to a heat store which supplies both the hot water and central heating system; all with new radiators throughout.

On entering, the owner has "pushed back" the entrance lobby, giving more than enough space to kick boots off, with the entrance hall itself giving a glimpse of the careful between period and modern.

To the rear is an elegant full-width sitting room, with a lovely triple sash bay window soaking up the views. The room benefits from a marble fire-surround and open fire below, as well as retained ceiling plasterwork.

To the front is a versatile second reception room; currently a much needed work from home office space, but equally versatile as a fifth bedroom or children's play room. This too enjoys a period fireplace, as well as retained understairs storage.

From the hall, stairs lead down to the lower ground floor, with a showcase family kitchen. The current owner has sensitively extended the rear, encasing the new dining area in glass with direct views down the garden, accessed via glazed sliding doors with internal electric blinds. The designer "Alno" kitchen is exquisite, with an expanse of Corian worksurfaces, oversize breakfast bar and range of high quality integrated appliances.

To the front is a useful utility room with space and plumbing for a washing machine and drier, further storage and sink and access to a vaulted boiler room. In addition, there is access to a fitted cloakroom with a w.c and wash basin.

From the entrance hall, a curved balustrade staircase leads to the top two floors, which between them house four double bedroom, three en-suite shower rooms and a separate family shower room.

The master bedroom is a true show-stopper, graced as it is by the addition of a new triple sash bay window - flooding the room with natural light and affording far-reaching views south east over Bristol's harbourside to Kelston Roundhill and Lansdown in the distance.

The top two bedrooms each span the full-width of the house and all four bedrooms benefit from retained period fireplaces.

The fully enclosed family garden can be seen clearly from the kitchen and dining room, and cleverly promotes the "outside / in" lifestyle, with a deep paved terrace leading out from the kitchen presenting a perfect space to dine al-fresco with outside lighting and access to further power. Beyond, the garden becomes less formal with a central path flanked by mature flower-beds, themselves created by the current owner who imported several tonnes of high quality bedding soil.

The lower ground floor has its own entrance, and the owner has also fitted a warm water tap (perfect for muddy dogs) and secured the outside vault for bike-storage.
