Haverstock Road, Knowle

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, Eat Your Greens, 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 and locally accessed through the park. 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. 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.

Placed on Haverstock Road is this stunning three double bedroom bay-fronted Victorian home. There is a substantial front garden with a tiled walkway to the front food and a lawn that captures the morning and afternoon sun. Upon entry to this grand Victorian home, you are met by restored wooden floorboards, a common theme throughout, that leads to the front reception room. The living room has a great number of period features, including cornicing, a ceiling rose, alongside stained glass above the sash windows. The back of the property has been completely opened up, creating a beautiful open-plan kitchen-dining room. There is a shaker-style kitchen to one side with quartz countertops, range cooker, open wooden shelving, alongside an island housing a Belfast sink. To the other side, the room is flooded with light through three large Velux windows, as well as a snug with an original cupboard and Victorian fireplace. There are sliding doors to the back of the room that almost go the width of the house, opening up onto a garden that gets soaked in evening sun. The first floor comprises three double bedrooms, all three having period fireplaces and restored wooden floorboards, and a bathroom with floor to ceiling tiles and a rainfall showerhead. There is also the option to extend into the loft if you wish, adding to this already substantial home.
