A spacious five-bedroom detached family home in Westbury-on-Trym, offering flexible living across 1,814 sq ft and large, well-proportioned reception rooms. The ground floor includes a dual-aspect lounge open to a dining room, a practical kitchen with travertine flooring, utility room and a bright extended family room with skylights and direct garden access. The extension also provides a ground-floor double with en suite and walk-in wardrobe — ideal as a guest suite, granny annexe or home office.
Outside, tiered gardens rise to an elevated top level with attractive views, plus off-street parking and an established front lawn. The house was built in the 1930s and retains period character while offering clear scope to modernise: opportunities include insulation upgrades (walls are solid brick with no assumed cavity insulation) and general cosmetic updating to realise full value. Secondary glazing is installed.
Practical points to note: there are active signs of badger activity in the garden, and council tax is expensive. Heating is mains gas with boiler and radiators. The property sits within excellent school catchments (Elmlea Infant and Junior and nearby independent schools), in a very affluent, low-crime area with fast broadband and strong mobile signal — a genuine family location.
Rare to the market, this detached home will particularly suit growing families seeking flexible accommodation close to top schools, or buyers looking for a character property with significant improvement potential (subject to usual permissions). Viewing is recommended to appreciate the internal space and elevated garden views.
