3 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

"On the day we first moved in, our lovely neighbours dashed round to bring us not one, but two kettles, to ensure we didn't go a day without tea. Lazing in the kitchen with the doors all open, enjoying the fresh air and watching our cat explore the neighbourhood. Watching the squirrels play on the front lawn chasing each other up and down the trees. Being so close to the hustle and bustle, and yet also so removed."

The home

A simply beautiful Victorian semi detached home tucked away in an elevated position in Cotham. As you walk into the large entrance hall the sense of space, light and polished elegance is immediate. The vibe is welcoming and stylish with a lovely balance of character and contemporary with immaculate stripped flooring a recurring theme throughout the property. The lounge features an imposing fireplace with pretty blue tiling as well as French doors opening onto a raised front facing veranda, perfect for both Winer evenings with the family or chilling out with a coffee on Summer mornings. The rear of the ground floor has been extended to create a stunning open plan kitchen/dining area and really is the heartbeat of the home. With a Southwesterly aspect it's flooded with natural light, the bi-fold doors create a seamless transition onto the garden and a perfect space for enjoying family time or hosting friends all year round. The ground floor is completed by a super handy utility room, downstairs loo and bay fronted home office/fourth bedroom. The staircase rises to a large landing with enough space for a seating area. There are three excellent bedrooms with handsome fireplaces and large windows, the front facing of which have views across Montpelier and the rear a tranquil outlook onto the garden. Accessed from the entrance hall is a sizeable basement with natural light, offering excellent storage or an option for further expansion and improvement.

The outside

The house has two distinct and equally enjoyable gardens allowing you to enjoy either sun or shade at any point of the day. The sloped front garden has views East over the rooftops and the enclosed rear garden enjoys the afternoon sun into the evening.
