Newly renovated semi with loft conversion, garden and double driveway in sought-after BS3 location.
Four bedrooms across three floors with loft conversion principal suite
This newly renovated 1930s semi delivers flexible family living across three floors, with a ground-floor extension and stylish loft conversion creating a generous principal bedroom and contemporary bathroom. The open-plan kitchen/diner with marble-effect surfaces and herringbone flooring opens onto a patio and lawn, making indoor-outdoor family life easy. Finished to a high standard, the house combines period character — bay window and brick exterior — with modern comforts including double glazing, underfloor heating and a wood burner.
Practical benefits include a double driveway for off-street parking, utility/WC on the ground floor, and FTTP broadband plus excellent mobile coverage. Council Tax band C and an Energy Performance rating of C provide reasonable running costs for a sizeable 1,395 sq ft family home. The plot is a decent size, and the tidy rear garden and patio are ready for entertaining or child play.
Location is a strong selling point: quiet Smyth Road sits close to green spaces (Gores Marsh, Greville Smyth Park, Ashton Court) and vibrant North Street shops, cafes and restaurants. Commuters benefit from relatively easy links to the city centre, Temple Meads and the Bristol Link Road. Nearby schools include good and outstanding-rated options, though one local primary is recorded as requiring improvement — worth checking against your priorities.
A few practical notes: the property has no solar panels, and while immediate flood risk is low, the area is flagged for long-term flood risk which buyers should consider and investigate. The house is in a former coal-mining county area (historic records present); buyers should confirm any ground or survey implications. Overall, this is a strong move-in-ready family home that pairs period charm with contemporary extension and loft space.
