Semi-detached house for sale in Bristol BS7, 4 Bedroom

This stylish contemporary eco-home with off-road parking in the heart of Bishopston offers an unique opportunity to think outside the box. Built in 2002 by environmental award-winning firm Urbane, the design makes use of natural materials with sustainability in mind. The property is constructed with a natural ventilation system whilst also benefiting from very high insulation, giving low energy usage levels. Externally the property is coated in lime render and wash with large southerly facing windows to absorb plenty of solar light and heat.

Hidden down a cul-de-sac with no passing traffic, the property is tastefully decorated throughout with a very open and versatile layout. Accommodation comprises: Main entrance at the side accessing a bespoke staircase that leads to the lower and upper floors. The lower ground floor offers two double bedrooms, one of which is currently used as an artist's studio, plus a shower room with wash basin, WC and utility area. There is a useful storage cupboard situated under the stairs. The stairs then lead to the first floor, housing the master bedroom, with built-in storage, together with another double bedroom presently used as a sitting/music room. Also on the same floor is an attractive family bathroom. The staircase then leads up to a light, spacious open-plan reception room, the hub of the house, with a double-height pitched ceiling and Juliet balcony. The solid wood flooring, neutral décor and glazed panels connecting the kitchen and reception rooms give the light-filled space a sense of flow.The kitchen is fitted with a range of bespoke-designed units, woodwork tops and a Belfast sink. A further staircase from the reception area leads to a good-sized mezzanine floor above, which has a velux window and a generous storage cupboard in the eaves. This area could ideally be used as an office or workspace.

Externally at the rear of the property is a pretty courtyard, which sits next to a useful storage shed/workshop. The main south-facing garden is located at the front of the property. The garden has been recently landscaped to create an attractive and sunny patio seating area with a pond and raised planted beds. Trellis fencing and creepers give the garden privacy. An allocated off-street parking space completes this unique, special and very practical home. This property stands apart from other homes in the local area offering a well-designed, modern, energy-efficient alternative to traditional Victorian houses.

Vendors comments - 'Denmark Place is a small intimate street and, as a result, a very friendly neighbourhood and a lovely place to live. It is rather like living up a quiet country lane, yet at the same time we are right on the doorstep of the Gloucester road with all its cafes and shops, which is a real treat. The beautiful design of our house has provided us with plenty of light even on the darkest and greyest of days. In the winter the house itself provides a very cosy and energy-efficient home due to its eco-insulation and solar energy systems. In the summer there is the choice of the sunny south-facing front garden, or the back courtyard which offers more choice of shady -spots. The only reason for reluctantly choosing to move is the need (following a physical injury) to find a smaller, more manageable home within the area. We feel sure the new owners of this home (like us) will enjoy all the advantages of this beautiful, contemporary house, together with the traditional atmosphere of a small, friendly community.'
