Kennington Avenue, Bishopston, BS7 9ES

A stylish and beautiful home located on a tree-lined avenue in the heart of Bishopston.

Having been carefully and thoughtfully renovated by the current owners, the interior perfectly balances modern living within a characterful Victorian home.

This extended accommodation now offers in excess of 2,116 sq ft of living space.

Key features include an impressive kitchen/diner/family room, two reception rooms, and a utility room on the ground floor, plus four bedrooms, a study and two family bathrooms on the upper floors.

The accommodation on the ground floor comprises a classically proportioned sitting room with double-glazed bay windows framed by plantation-style shutters and stained-glass leaded lights, cornice, picture rail, a gas fire and built-in alcove cabinetry and shelving.

The adjacent second reception is currently used as a dining room with a fireplace, coving and an inbuilt dresser and opens onto the impressive extended kitchen/living space.

This light and bright room has a bank of skylight windows, glazed bifolding doors, a picture window overlooking the garden and an exposed brick wall bringing industrial design to this well-considered space.

The centrally positioned kitchen is fitted with sleek, contemporary units and integrated appliances, with a contrasting Corian worktop over and a central island incorporating a breakfast bar, sink, drainer and power points.

A herringbone-style floor with underfloor heating completes the space, with a door to a useful utility room providing space for appliances, storage and a w.c.

Stairs rise to three bedrooms, a study/nursery and a family bathroom on the first floor.

Bedroom two to the front features double-glazed bay windows, a period fireplace, fitted wardrobes and stripped wooden floorboards.

The adjacent bedroom three also retains a period fireplace with a double-glazed window overlooking the garden. Bedroom four enjoys a similar outlook over the rear garden and has a fitted wardrobe.

The family bathroom sits between bedrooms three and four and comprises a bath with a rainfall shower head over, an additional shower hose attachment, a vanity unit incorporating a tabletop wash-hand basin with wall-mounted taps and a w.c.

A study is positioned alongside bedroom two at the front of the house and offers a perfect space to work from home. The exceptional principal bedroom suite spans the entire second floor.

The bedroom area can comfortably accommodate a large bed and bedroom furniture, with double-glazed windows overlooking the rear and fitted wardrobes extending along one wall.

The impressive bathroom area features a free standing bath with wall mounted taps, a large walk in shower, a vanity unit with table top wash hand basin and storage, a wall mounted heated towel rail, skylight windows and a door to a w.c.

The pleasant rear garden is a great example of contemporary city living, with a composite deck leading out from the kitchen/diner onto a porcelain-tiled garden, housing raised beds with an array of colourful trees and shrubs.

A timber-framed garden studio is positioned at the bottom of the garden, with power and a living roof, and offers flexible uses, from simple storage to a home office and beyond.

The garden is enclosed by horizontal slat fencing to complete the contemporary look. There is off-street parking for one vehicle at the front of the property.

The local shops, cafes and restaurants along Gloucester Road and St Andrews Park are only a short walk away.
