Description

This detached home, nestled on the charming and tree-lined St Martin's Road, presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. Available for the first time in decades, this property retains captivating art-deco features that deserve preservation and enhancement. Upon entering, you’ll find a spacious hallway that guides you through the ground floor. The living room, illuminated by arched stained glass windows and a traditional bay window with leaded glass, boasts an original fireplace that serves as a classic focal point. The kitchen retains its period tiling and pantry cupboards, providing a solid foundation for modern updates. Adjacent to the kitchen, the lobby offers direct access to the garden and additional storage space. The dining room at the rear mirrors the living room’s charm with original doors and another decorative fireplace. Upstairs, three generous double bedrooms provide ample space for family living. The front bedroom features a bay window similar to that of the living room while the back bedroom overlooks the garden and includes another enticing deco-era fireplace. The current layout includes a separate bathroom and WC; however, merging these spaces could yield an expansive family bathroom tailored to contemporary needs. The property's outdoor space is enticingly vast, with a west-facing rear garden ripe for transformation. Currently populated with established plants—including mature apple trees—this garden offers significant potential for those looking to cultivate their ideal outdoor retreat or entertaining space. A sizeable front garden complements this area along with driveway parking accommodating multiple vehicles leading up to a garage. Situated in one of BS4’s preferred neighborhoods, St Martin's Road provides easy access to Bristol city center (approximately 1.6 miles away), making commuting straightforward whether by bus, walking, or cycling. Nearby green spaces like Perretts Park, Arnos Park, and Redcatch Park enhance residential life in South Bristol while essential amenities—including local pubs and swimming facilities—are just minutes away. Families will appreciate proximity to reputable primary schools such as Knowle Park Primary and West Town Lane Academy. Overall, this property presents an excellent opportunity for buyers seeking a project within BS4. With thoughtful renovations, there is immense potential to restore its original character while also enhancing value, ultimately creating a cherished family home for years to come.
