Set on a premium side road in Stoke Bishop, this attractive 1930s semi delivers substantial family space and an exceptionally long, level garden of circa 150ft with a westerly aspect for afternoon sun. The house retains period features including bay windows, a storm porch and an impressive entrance hall with dog-leg stairs, while generous reception rooms and a c.20ft kitchen/breakfast room suit everyday family life. The wide plot gives driveway parking for several cars, a garage, summer house with power and a greenhouse.
Four double bedrooms plus a smaller fifth bedroom/study, together with a first-floor family bathroom and a top-floor shower room, make the layout flexible for growing families. The property offers immediate comfortable living and obvious scope to modernise or extend (rear extension or open-plan rear living possible), letting buyers add value to a desirable location.
Buyers should note material facts: the house dates from 1930 and the cavity walls are assumed to have no insulation, so thermal upgrades and general modernisation may be required. Council tax is high. While broadly well maintained, the house will benefit from updating to current standards and energy-efficiency improvements.
Location is a key strength: adjacent to Stoke Lodge playing fields, within recent catchment for highly regarded primary schools (Elmlea and Stoke Bishop) and Bristol Free School at secondary level. Local shops are a short walk away and bus links run to the city centre. This home suits families seeking long-term space, gardens and school access in an affluent Bristol neighbourhood.
