Haverstock Road, Knowle

‘We absolutely love the street and neighbourhood community. It’s great for our home to be so close to a great school, a shop for some essentials, walking distance to the centre and especially the train station for commuting and for easy adventures’.

The position of the house on the impressive Haverstock Road, provides a fantastic setting, just metres from the bowl-shaped Perretts Park and its fantastic cityscape views. Haverstock is a quiet road of substantial and attractive period homes. The road is flanked on one end by Perretts Park, at the other there is the rapidly developing Wells Road, home to several popular independent shops and eateries, such as Fox and West Deli, Boona Boona, Acapella and Southside Bar, with its indoor and outdoor seating and serving local craft beers. Knowle is an extremely popular family area, with a brilliant combination of large houses, good schools and a choice of great parks. Hillcrest Primary School is just a short walk away and is very well-regarded. Haverstock Road is also close to Arnos Vale Cemetery, Perrett Park and Victoria Park, all offering a great escape from the city and open green spaces. For commuters, the area is very well placed, with Temple Meads and the several major employers around Temple Quay just around fifteen minutes away on foot, even close by bike or Voi. From Temple Meads there is a fast train to London taking around an hour and a half. Bristol’s scenic harbourside and city centre are also within walking distance, along with the independent shops, bars and cafes of North Street in Bedminster, whilst also being a short drive from the beautiful Mendips and Chew Valley to the south.

The house itself has been extensively but sympathetically refurbished throughout over recent years by the current owner occupiers. The hub of the house is the striking kitchen/dining space, which has been enhanced by a side return extension, flowing from the traditional rear reception, through the kitchen/diner and to the level rear garden with a southerly aspect. The garden, like the house, has been extensively and carefully improved, to make the most of the space on offer. There is currently a patio, grass and a small play area. The flow of this downstairs layout is ideal for families and offers a fantastic choice of contrasting spaces in which to spend time.

The quality of material and attention to detail in this house is noticeable throughout. The kitchen is handmade by Redland Carpentry and is finished with quartz worktops above. The space also benefits from underfloor heating.

Onto the first floor there are three bedrooms, well-balanced to allow two double bedrooms, one large single, which works as a great office, as well as a family bathroom.

On the top floor there is a stunning loft conversion which was completed around five years ago. Currently used as the master bedroom, but equally suited to being a brilliant guest suite, this room is bright and stylish. There is a shower room en-suite as well as built-in wardrobe and eve storage space.
