York Road, Montpelier, Bristol

A totally unique Grade II listed cottage with a lush and mature 70ft garden. This charming, colourful and flamboyant home is located right in the heart of Montpelier close to some of Bristol's best shops, cafes and restaurants.

The unassuming Georgian facade hides a spacious home with accommodation spread over two floors. The front door leads into a hallway on the upper floor of the building which provides access to four double bedrooms and a bathroom. The two double bedrooms at the front have panelled glazed sash windows facing York Road, while the two bedrooms at the rear have leafy views over the garden. All bedrooms have period features retained including ceiling coving, dado rails and period fireplaces. A bathroom is centrally positioned between all rooms and has a sky light window, white suite with mosaic style wall and floor tiles.

Stairs lead down to the lower level to a fifth bedroom, living room and a kitchen/ dining room. The versatile fifth bedroom has a flagstone floor, feature mantlepiece and timber double glazed windows. The adjacent kitchen dining room is both eye catching and distinctive, with hand carved peacock panel doors, a leopard print floor and a huge neon from a Bollywood film! There is space for a table, window to the front aspect and walk-in pantry at the rear. Flagstones continue through the hallway past a downstairs shower room towards an open plan living room spanning the full width of the property. A stripped wood floor runs throughout the space with an open fireplace at one end. Two windows with working shutters have views of the pretty woodland style garden while a doorway in between provides access.

The sunny rear garden is a calm and colourful oasis providing the perfect retreat from the city buzz. The sheltered, southerly aspect is perfect for growing a range of plants, trees and flowers. Next to the house is a rose covered terrace to enjoy alfresco dining while a pathway leads through a magical woodland section to a circular patio seating area hidden among the trees. This beautiful outside space is a rare find in such a central location, while at the front is a shady courtyard providing some useful storage.

This exceptional period home has been renovated with an artistic eye and creative flair. The position is in easy reach of all the amenities on Gloucester Road, Stokes Croft and is less than 1 mile from the city centre.
