Description

Set within a magical walled garden (80ft x 70ft) in a hidden location within the historic Kingsdown: a gorgeous Gothic revival style grade II listed Victorian period family house with additional two-storey cottage (presently utilised as a short-term rental with projected income of at least £31,000 per annum) and separate outbuilding.

Built circa 1860, with the main house offering 5 double bedroom, 3 reception room, 3 bath/shower room accommodation which is beautifully balanced and generously proportioned retaining an abundance of classical period features. Stylish and light filled dual aspect kitchen/breakfast room with sleek gloss handless cabinetry, Corian worktops, slate flagged flooring and an Everhot cooker.

An attractive 1 double bedroom two-storey cottage with independent access is also included and offers potential for working from home, separate accommodation for dependent relatives / independent teenagers or for renting out / Airbnb etc., indeed it is presently being run as a popular and successful airbnb providing a separate income stream (projected to be between £31,000 and £38,000 per annum).

The house is unquestionably one the best imaginable for parties and socialising with a natural flow and pull from within to the lush and profusely stocked garden. During their stewardship the owners have planted hundreds of plants, shrubs and trees to ensure colour and scent from March right through until November. To name but a small selection these include tulips, daffodils, hydrangeas, roses, delphiniums, lupins, salvias, cistus, irises, fruit trees (pear, apple and plum) and a wisteria. There are multiple sitting out areas from which to enjoy the varying outlooks and a useful outbuilding.

This hidden gem enjoys a convenient position on the doorstep of so much and yet tucked away as if on a separate plane to the life around it. It is close to Bristol University, BRI / main hospital complex, BBC and the local shopping facilities on High Kingsdown, Cotham Hill and Whiteladies Road. Cotham School, St Michael's on the Mount C of E Primary School and St Peter and Paul RC Primary School are close by with the independent Bristol Grammar and QEH Schools a little further afield.
