Description
This wonderful end terrace Edwardian family home is a delight with accommodation set over four floors to include four bedrooms, an open plan kitchen and entertaining space, cellaring and a garden office. The property was built around the turn of the 20th century and retains many of the features of the time, with bay windows, ornate fireplaces, coving and sash windows but with modern twists such as underfloor heating throughout the downstairs rooms.

The main social hub of the house is the fantastic open plan kitchen which spans over 35 feet of the ground floor to include a lounging family area with wood burning stove. A breakfast bar and dining area sit within the skylit extension out to the rear. The dining area has bifold glazed doors opening full width to the patio terrace and rear garden. A cloakroom and larder sit adjacent to this excellent space. There is a cosy sitting room to the front of the house with a working fireplace. The cellar underneath the house enables lots of storage and wine cellaring.

The first-floor houses three double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom sits to the front of the house and looks out through a bay window. The second floor is home to another double bedroom with a full-width to the eaves, en suite bath and shower room.

The front and rear gardens are beautifully planted with a succession of flowering plants throughout the year.

The back garden has a vegetable plot at the end and includes specimen trees, Heptacodium Miconoides ( the Seven Son Flower), Prunus serrula with incredible copper bark and Cornus kousa. An eco-friendly garden office was built in 2022 by Little Green Rooms Bristol with a sedum living roof, power, heating and wi-fi. Built from sustainable Siberian larch the office is positioned at the end of the terraced rear garden. The views from the patio terrace are glorious towards the racecourse and out to Wales in the far distance. You also get a view of the Royal Cresent from the top bedroom. The front garden is a wildlife haven with espalier apple, pear and quince trees.

The next steps...

Before making an offer on a property you will want to consider your financial situation, your income and outgoings.

Will you finance the purchase of your next property from the sale of an existing property which can put you in a chain, arrange a mortgage through your bank or buy the property outright.

To help you finance your next property purchase, we have a long established relationship with an independent mortgage broker who can discuss your situation with you.

Remember that having a 'mortgage decision in principle' can make you a more attractive buyer when you make an offer on a property. Contact our mortgage advisers for free, no obligation and impartial advice.

Some advantages of a broker are:

  • They do all the legwork for you, working on your behalf with the lender
  • They compare wholesale mortgage rates from a large number of banks and lenders all at once
  • Their wholesale interest rates can be lower than retail (bank branch) interest rates
  • They offer more loan options because they work with numerous banks and lenders
  • They can finance tricky deals because of their knowledge and various lending partners
  • They are typically easier to get in contact with, and are less bureaucratic.

However advantages of working with your bank are:

  • You may be able to build off an existing relationship (and gain discounts if you have a checking or savings account)
  • You may already know the banker who will handle your mortgage
  • Banks may be more accountable than a smaller shop
  • They may offer lower interest rates in some cases
  • Their ability to add mortgage to existing banking profile and make automatic payments from linked account.

When you see a property you are interested in on our website, call us 24/7 to arrange a viewing. Or if you prefer, get in touch via our website and we will call you back to find a time to view the property that suits you.

Once you’ve found a property you want to buy, it’s time to make an offer. A bit of negotiation is to be expected, however don't offer so little that you end up in a lengthy negotiation process, as you might lose the property altogether if someone else makes a higher bid.

If other offers have been made on a property we aren't legally able to tell you what they are, but we may indicate if they were close to the asking price.

If you have a property to sell, why not see how we can help you.
