Sommerville Road, St Andrews, Bristol

A beautifully proportioned two-bedroom apartment, making up the entire first floor of this impressive double-fronted Victorian property.

Overview

Internally the apartment also has an excellent layout; the central opens firstly into to the great-sized separate lounge/dining room, with tall ceilings, original ceiling cornice and cast iron fireplace. This space is located at the front meaning it not only benefits from a southerly aspect but also gives the most attractive views over St Andrews Park and beyond. This view is emphasized through a wide bay window, inset with exposed timber sash windows.
Across the hall at the front is the 2nd of two double bedrooms - again tall ceilings add to the spacious and light feel, whilst handy built-in storage gives some practicality.
Separating the two rooms is a well-appointed bathroom, with a modern white suite and two sash windows. The lower panes are obscured for privacy leaving the top panes giving a clear view over to the canopy of the tree opposite.
The rear of the property has a kitchen/breakfast room, with attractive dark blue shaker-style cabinetry and solid wooden work surfaces.
Next at the rear is the master bedroom - this again enjoys fantastic proportions and another bay window. Retained period features are also found here, as are built-in storage.

Vendors comments

"We are so lucky to have enjoyed the beautiful views across St Andrews park and beyond, and its magical sunsets, every day for the past five years. It feels like living in a green oasis in the centre of Bristol. The flat itself is big, bright, homely, and peaceful. We have wonderful neighbors in the house and on the street too. All in all, it has been a special first home for us and our two-year-old son. It will be a huge wrench to leave but we are simply outgrowing the space as a family."


Location

This property makes the most of its sought-after location, being directly opposite one of North Bristol most picturesque and well-used parks.
