Description

This distinctive detached house, known as 'Serendipity', presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. Constructed in the 1980s, this property is part of a trio of homes nestled in the serene Stockwell Glen, away from the hustle and bustle yet conveniently located near local amenities in Downend, Bristol. With over 26 years of ownership, the current vendor has cherished this versatile family home that offers spacious rooms with significant potential for modernisation and customisation. The generous entrance hall leads to a spacious snug that could easily be repurposed into a ground floor bedroom. The expansive living/dining area features twin doors opening onto private gardens, creating an inviting ambiance perfect for gatherings. A separate dining room adjacent to the kitchen allows for easy entertaining and family meals. The kitchen itself includes ample storage with both fitted and freestanding appliances, but may benefit from updating to reflect contemporary tastes. Upstairs offers four bedrooms, including a primary suite with an en-suite bathroom. The property also boasts a good-sized family bathroom and substantial loft space suitable for conversion or additional storage. Outside, the extensive rear garden extends nearly 100 feet and features a swimming pool tucked behind trees for privacy—a feature that could enhance the property's appeal significantly with some revitalisation. Additional outbuildings include a garage, office space with power supply, and utility storage areas that might provide flexibility for conversion into an annexe or home office, particularly if planning permissions are reinstated. Given its location and inherent value-add opportunities, this property is ideal for buyers looking to craft their dream home through thoughtful renovation.
