Lyndhurst Road, Bristol, BS9

10 Lyndhurst Road is a charming semi-detached family house at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the heart of Westbury-on-Trym.

Families love the security and peace of the road with a strong sense of community given; the road's “no-through” status.

The house itself was comprehensively refurbished circa 6 years ago, although due to the owner's postings overseas only lightly lived in since. Perhaps of most importance is the “opening up” of the rear; giving the property a delightful full-width kitchen and dining room, with twin pairs of French doors bringing the outside in.

To the front, the driveway has been improved to accommodate two cars, whilst the garage has been reduced to incorporate a utility room, accessed from the kitchen. With its front facing garage door however this is a great space for bikes, sports / camping equipment etc. whilst also opening up via a side door to the garden.

Internally, the house is accessed via welcoming entrance hall, with stairs up the first floor and generous understairs storage. Just to the side of the hall is a fabulous sitting room, flooded with natural light from its square bay window with New England shutters.

A cast-iron wood burning stove provides both a focal point and comforting warmth in the winter; although given the excellent double glazing throughout the house heats up very efficiently. Both chimney recesses have bespoke built-in storage cupboards for a TV, books and games cupboards.

To the rear the owners have dramatically improved the flow, opening up several smaller rooms to create a sociable family space; with a stylish fitted kitchen, designated dining area and two pairs of French doors leading out into the garden.

The kitchen itself is well-fitted, with a modern Belfast sink overlooking the garden, lots of floor and wall mounted storage cupboards and an integrated dishwasher, with space for a large fridge / freezer and a generous stainless steel range-cooker.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a useful utility room and cloakroom, with space and plumbing for a washing machine and dryer, a w.c, stainless steel sink and drainer unit and heated towel ladder.

From the hall, the stairs access the first floor, splitting right to left on a half landing.

To the right lies a sizeable double bedroom, with a light-filled triple aspect.

To the left lie the three remaining bedrooms and the family bathroom. Bedroom one is a great size; with the square bay allowing plenty of natural light (also with New England shutters) and a twin-set of wardrobes built in the recesses either side of the chimney breast.

To the rear lies a further double bedroom, whilst to the front is a charming fourth bedroom, small than the others and perfect nursery, single bed or home office.

The family bathroom is beautifully appointed, with a panelled bath complete with a hand-held shower, oversize walk-in shower cubicle, low level w.c and a vanity basin. Dual aspect opaque double glazed windows provide natural light and ventilation the rom further benefits from a tiled floor and heated towel rail.

From the larger of the two landings a hatch provides access to the loft which, subject to the necessary consents, could be developed further. At present, it offers accessible and useful additional storage. 

Outside:

To the front, No. 10 is approached towards the end of the road with off-street parking for several cars.

The rear garden is fully enclosed and mostly laid to lawn; with a side gate giving access to the front, a side door leading into / out of the garage and two pairs of French doors leading out from the kitchen and dining room.

Wrapping around the house from the rear to the side it manages to catch much of the day's sun, with a dedicated very private paved dining terrace to one corner and a raised bed to the other.

The garage, having lost space to create the utility is too small for a family car, but does open up options for a workshop, excellent additional storage or, subject to consent, converting into additional family accommodation with the house.

Nearby, the amenities at Canford Park are hugely appreciated by local families; with their well-equipped play equipment, tennis courts and open public space.
