This double-fronted 1930s semi-detached home offers approximately 2,100 sq ft of classic family accommodation with abundant original period detail. Bay windows, stained-glass features, picture rails and multiple feature fireplaces give the house strong character and immediate kerb appeal. The wide hallway leads to three reception rooms, a kitchen, and an attached garage with workshop space — practical for family use or flexible home-working.
The property is offered chain-free and has been in the same ownership for over 50 years, presenting a clear opportunity to sympathetically refurbish and modernise throughout. It currently requires renovation: the interior finishes are dated, the walls are solid brick (assumed uninsulated) and there is scope to improve energy efficiency and layout. Planning scope exists to extend to the rear (STPP) to increase living space further.
Outdoors the level, south-west facing rear garden is large and sunny with patio, lawn, mature planting and a pond feature that needs attention. Driveway parking and a substantial garage add practical value in this desirable Henleaze location, a short walk from shops, cafés and well-regarded schools.
Practical points to note: the property has double glazing installed post-2002, mains gas central heating and a boiler with radiators. The house is Freehold and council tax is described as expensive. Buyers should budget for a full refurbishment programme and potential insulation works to bring the house up to contemporary standards.
