Set on a large plot within the sought-after Riverwood development, this substantial five-bedroom dormer bungalow offers flexible living across two floors for growing families. Ground-floor living is generous, with a 24ft lounge/diner, separate dining room and a family/lounge with bi-fold doors opening onto a wide patio and private lawn — ideal for indoor-outdoor entertaining. The kitchen is fitted with high-gloss units and granite worktops and connects well to the principal reception spaces.
The first floor provides two large bedrooms including a master with dressing room and en-suite, while three further bedrooms and a bathroom on the ground floor suit multigenerational living or home-working. Practical features include an integral garage with electric door, a brick-paved driveway for multiple cars, utility room with Worcester boiler, and useful eaves storage.
The rear garden is well enclosed by mature hedging offering privacy, with paved seating, decking and a sunken hot tub. The property is chain free and positioned within walking distance of Frenchay village, riverside walks and well-regarded local schools, with excellent transport links into Bristol.
Considerations: the house was built c.1950–66 with cavity walls assumed uninsulated, so buyers should factor potential insulation or energy-improvement works. Council tax is noted as expensive. While presented well, there remains clear scope for further modernisation or an extension subject to planning permission to increase value and energy efficiency.
