5 Bedroom House - Terraced
“What I’ve loved most about living here is having the best of both worlds, being right in the heart of Bristol, while still having the openness and energy of the park on the doorstep. There’s something lovely about hearing children playing and skaters cheering during the day, before everything becomes incredibly peaceful at night with little more than the rustling of the trees outside."
This home
Bold, brilliantly individual and full of unexpected spaces, this five bedroom contemporary four-storey home offers an impressive amount of room while still feeling warm and characterful.
At the heart of the ground floor is a spectacular kitchen/dining space, designed as much for entertaining as everyday life. Dark cabinetry, open shelving and a substantial central island are softened by warm timber flooring and an abundance of greenery, while huge sections of glazing flood the room with natural light. Above, the mezzanine creates a dramatic double-height feel and connects the kitchen with the living spaces on the floor above. To the rear, bi-fold doors open directly onto the garden, allowing the whole space to spill outside in warmer months. Tucked away from the kitchen is a useful utility room with a door into the garage also for easier access.
Upstairs, the first floor introduces one of the home’s most striking architectural features. The generous living room incorporates a mezzanine overlooking the kitchen/dining space below, creating a wonderful sense of volume and connection between the two floors. Huge expanses of glazing draw light deep into the house, making this an incredibly bright and uplifting space while giving the home a distinctive, almost gallery-like quality. From here, the living room flows into a separate sitting area with access onto the balcony, while a dedicated cinema room provides a moodier, more intimate space to retreat to in the evenings.
Three bedrooms occupy the second floor, including the main bedroom with its own en-suite. The remaining bedrooms are well proportioned, with further bathroom facilities making this an easy floor for family life or visiting guests.
The top floor adds another layer of flexibility. Two further bedrooms sit alongside a bathroom and a superb study/home office, where wide opening doors lead directly onto a private roof terrace o. It is a brilliant workspace, but equally somewhere to entertain, read, exercise or simply sit with a coffee while taking in the leafy outlook to Dame Emily Park.
Outside
Outside, the rear garden is private and easy to enjoy, with a combination of lawn and paved seating space surrounded by established planting and bamboo. The garage can be accessed from the front of the property.
