Set on one of Patcham’s most established and sought-after roads, this 1930s home is part of a handsome collection of character properties and it carries all the hallmarks of that elegant era.
Think large bay windows, generous room sizes, original stained glass, and a wonderfully welcoming feel throughout. Downstairs, the layout flows nicely.
You’ve got a formal dining room at the front which is perfect for hosting, whilst the sitting room, kitchen, and conservatory are all to the rear, making the most of the garden views.
The entrance hall is wide and airy, with a beautiful turning staircase and a west-facing window that pours in afternoon light.
There’s also a handy downstairs WC and an outer lobby that connects the kitchen to the garden, ideal for muddy boots or pets.
On the first floor you’ll find two spacious double bedrooms, both with built-in storage, plus a fourth bedroom overlooking the garden; perfect as a home office or nursery.
The shower room has been smartly updated, and the landing itself feels open and light-filled.
Head up again, and the top floor holds a lovely loft conversion bedroom, complete with built-in storage and its own bathroom just next door. Perfect if you have guests staying over.
