Summary - MYRTLE COTTAGE, 155 LONG ASHTON ROAD LONG ASHTON BRISTOL BS41 9JQ
4 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Characterful four-bed cottage with fabulous garden, workshop and village convenience near Bristol.
Full-width sitting room with exposed beams and inglenook fireplace
Myrtle Cottage is a restored Georgian stone cottage offering c.1500 sq ft across three floors — a comfortable family home in the Bristol end of Long Ashton. The full-width sitting room, exposed beams, sash windows with window seats and an inglenook fireplace create immediate period charm, while the kitchen/diner with vaulted ceiling, Aga and Belfast sink provides a warm social heart. The owners have used traditional materials (lime plaster, period-style double-glazed wooden windows) to retain character while upgrading comfort.
The rear extension and garden are significant assets: a large glass garden room with log burner, workshop with power, greenhouse, raised vegetable beds and a variety of fruit trees make this garden a gardener’s or family’s sanctuary. Practical additions include a utility room, external store and modern double glazing installed post-2002. The property sits in a conservation area close to village amenities, good primary schools and easy access into Bristol — an appealing balance of village life and city convenience.
A few material points to note: the house is on three floors with steps between kitchen and dining areas, so it may not suit those with limited mobility. The original stone walls are assumed uninsulated; despite recent renovation and double glazing, the property could have higher heat-loss than modern builds and heating relies on mains gas boiler/radiators. Council tax is described as expensive. Parking is not specified and may be limited on-street.
Overall, Myrtle Cottage will suit buyers who value historic character, a large, productive garden and village living close to Bristol — families or buyers looking for a sympathetic, ready-to-live-in period home with some inherent constraints of an older building.
