Description

This charming 3-bedroom semi-detached house, dating back to 1932, is situated on a generous corner plot along a quiet no-through road. Originally built to accommodate nursing staff from a nearby hospital, this property offers ample potential for extension to the side and rear. The heart of the home features a light-filled rustic kitchen-diner, created by merging the original scullery and dining room, complete with handmade wooden units, a gas hob, and a double Belfast sink. Large double-glazed windows provide views of the lovely south-facing garden. The interior showcases period features, including stripped pine doors and flooring, with oil-fired central heating throughout. The cozy front reception room overlooks the front garden, while the broad entrance hallway leads to the first floor, which houses two double bedrooms and one single. The bathroom includes a white suite with a bath and shower over, along with a vanity table. Surrounded by woodlands and pastureland, the property is conveniently located between the vibrant villages of Long Ashton and Barrow Gurney, just 4 miles from Bristol city center. Local amenities include shops, schools, and community events. The sizeable front garden is laid to lawn with mature trees, while the south-facing rear garden features raised vegetable beds and fruit trees. An insulated outbuilding at the end of the garden offers further potential for conversion into a home office or crafting space.

Confidence: MEDIUM

This charming 3-bedroom cottage-style semi-detached house offers a unique opportunity for renovation in a desirable location. While the asking price of £500,000 translates to £415/sqf, which is slightly above the local average of £407/sqf, it remains an attractive option due to its character features and spacious garden. However, potential buyers should consider that the all-in costs, estimated at around £575,000 including renovations, exceed the implied local average value of approximately £491,023, making the economics of this project a notable concern.

The property features a light-filled rustic kitchen-diner and a spacious garden, presenting ample opportunities for extension and improvement. While the interiors are dated, this allows for a personalized touch to elevate the home's charm. The overall condition of the house is satisfactory, with good exterior and roof conditions, but some areas show wear and could benefit from updates. The combination of character and the potential for expansion makes this property an interesting project for those willing to invest in its renovation.
