Kings Drive, Bishopston

"We love the garden. It’s a peaceful, green haven and not overlooked. Facing south-west, it gets the sun for most of the day and early evening. We’ve encouraged wildlife so there are lots of birds singing, nesting and feeding. There’s a community organic orchard nearby and we enjoy taking a walk down a hidden lane to Horfield Common, we find a strong community feel with the Ardagh at the heart and a cafe, play park and tennis all available. We’ll really miss the new patio and the view into the garden from our kitchen/diner."

A tasteful three-bedroom semi-detached home situated on Kings Drive in Bishopston with a garage and off-street parking. Well-loved and extended by the existing owners, the property has been well maintained and finished with a contemporary style suitable for a new family with no work required. On entry, you are welcomed into the spacious hallway with grey-tiled flooring continuing throughout the ground floor. The lounge has been tastefully decorated including a column radiator and a large window overlooking the green front garden, ideal for a cosy winter evening. As you walk through the hallway, you can find a built-in cupboard, WC with contemporary tiles, and lastly the immaculate extended kitchen/diner and utility. The contemporary kitchen has been well-designed to maximise natural light from the sky lantern and floor to ceiling windows/door spanning almost the full width of the property benefitting from the south-westerly sunshine. The kitchen includes underfloor heating, white granite worktops, deep matte grey units with a copper lining, an integrated dishwasher, double oven and gas hob.

The property is fortunate to sit on an unusual plot with the garden widening the further it goes back, whilst also being a private oasis with no neighbours overlooking from behind. The existing owners have enjoyed creating a peaceful and colourful garden now with mature shrubs, trees and plants, a perfect space to host parties during the summer months. Immediately coming out of the kitchen, the garden has been laid with an outdoor patio providing a seating area and a walkway to the side access and garage.

The first floor beams natural light into the landing from the window at the side. From here, you can access the family bathroom which has been replaced to include a four-piece suite and underfloor heating. There are two larger double bedrooms, the master with painted floorboards. The third bedroom is currently utilised as an office but also suits a single bedroom or nursery.
