St. James Street, Mangotsfield

"We have loved uncovering the original beauty of this Victorian home and adding some personality to it, displaying the patina of restored floorboards and tiling, with modern touches. The dining room is the heart of the home, spacious enough for a dining table and sofa seating by the newly installed log burner, and in the summer we spend most of our free time in the garden which has a secluded feel."

This attractive Victorian house radiates style and design and has excellent proportions offering generous family living from top to bottom. The ground floor is comprised of a cosy sitting room to the front, a second reception/diner in the middle of the house with a log burner which is semi-open plan with the spacious and sunny kitchen. The first floor houses two large double bedrooms, the master room looking out over the garden and the neighbouring trees for a verdant view with plenty of natural light. To the rear of the house you have the bathroom with a full length bath and separate walk in shower. There is also ample on street parking on nearby roads and a free long stay car park less than 100 meters away.

The north east facing garden is of substantial size with a large, secluded decked area at the rear making it a lovely sun trap and perfect for al fresco dining.

This home is situated in Mangotsfield, a residential area with houses of all ages, ranging from cottages and grand Victorian houses, through many kinds of 20th century styles to some modern and new build homes. This area has an array of green spaces nearby, the most notable being Pomphrey Hill and Mangotsfield Common but is also only a 15 minute walk to Page Park. The appeal is further enhanced by several good schools nearby with the ‘outstanding’ Mangotsfield Primary School and the ‘good’ Stanbridge Primary, Lyde Green Primary and Blackhorse Primary Schools. For shops and amenities, the area has a good choice of different venues. You have the Grapevine pub a 30 second walk away while Emersons Green Retail Park, Downend and Staple Hill Highstreets are also nearby which is home to several shops, bars and eateries. This area is very well placed for commuters, with easy access to the A4174, M4, M5 and M32 into the City Centre. There are also regular buses into the city and excellent access to the Bristol & Bath Cycle Path for those who travel by bike. David Lloyd's Leisure Centre is just over a mile away with top of the range leisure, tennis, gym and spa facilities. Further out into the countryside, Dyrham Park, Marshfield Farm (yes, the ice cream makers), or the Wild Place Project are all just fifteen-minutes’ drive away, giving good options for family visits. Being on the northern outskirts of Bristol also provides excellent access into the Cotswolds and Bath.
