We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Located on a quiet road and offering generous proportions internally, with a pretty and deceptively large rear garden, comes this sizeable and attractive (approx.
1700 sq.ft.) 1930's semi-detached residence. Offered with no onward chain.
Externally - A paved approach with driveway providing off-road parking, leads to an enclosed, pretty front garden and an integral garage.
The property retains a largely original façade, with attractive joinery complemented by deep, curve double bay windows.
Side gated access leads to garden offering tremendous potential to enhance, working on the framework of a mature garden that is level and sizeable.
The garden is divided between a lawn with borders, a small spinney to the far end, and a patio accessible immediately from the kitchen and dining room.
Given the size and level nature of the rear garden, there is clear scope to extend the property substantially to create an open-plan kitchen/living space.
Completing the external aspect of the property is an additional garage/workshop.
Internally - Upon entering this welcoming property through a small porch with space for a shoe rack, you are greeted by a spacious entrance hall.
The hallway retains some lovely original detailing such as the doorway and leaded side windows and panelled staircase.
From here, you can access two large principal reception rooms and an attractive, refitted kitchen/breakfast room.
The kitchen is well-equipped with ample units, integrated appliances, and a convenient pull-down breakfast table.
A side door leads to a subdivided utility room with direct access to the rear garden, and a cloakroom with WC that connects to the integral garage.
The garage houses the gas boiler and features a modern electric front door.
The front reception features an attractive, deep curved bay window overlooking the front garden, feature fireplace and picture rails.
A well-sized room benefitting from a south-westerly facing meaning a light-filled space into the afternoon.
The second reception room - utilised as a dining room, also boasts a bay, with patio doors leading to the rear garden.
Stairs ascend from the entrance hall to a generous first-floor landing, which provides access to four bedrooms, a shower room with walk-in shower, and a separate WC.
The landing also offers good storage and access to a sizeable loft space, ideal for conversion, subject to planning permission.
The bedrooms are comprised of three sizeable double bedrooms including a bay-fronted master, and adjacent to this is the fourth bedroom - an ideal home office/study or cot room.

It is ideally situated within 0.7 miles of Elmlea Infant and Junior Schools and falls within the catchment area for Bristol Free School, with a number of reputable independent schools also nearby such as Redmaids and Badminton.
