PROPERTY OVERVIEW

A wonderful opportunity to acquire a substantial and welcoming family home, ideally positioned on one of Knowle’s most desirable roads and offered for sale with no upward chain. Dating back almost 100 years, the property retains many original character features while having been extensively and sympathetically modernised by the current owners, creating a warm blend of period charm and contemporary family living.

Set back behind a large in-and-out driveway, the property offers excellent parking, privacy and everyday practicality for family life.

Entering the house through a large enclosed porch, there is ample space for coats, shoes and everyday storage, ideal for busy family life. The porch opens into a welcoming central hallway, which benefits from a WC off and leads to an impressive staircase rising to the landing, immediately setting the tone for the quality and scale of the accommodation.

The main house is thoughtfully arranged for modern family living. The ground floor offers three well-proportioned reception rooms, beginning with a spacious open-plan kitchen, dining and family room that truly forms the heart of the home, ideal for everyday family life and entertaining.

Off the family room is a home office, perfect for working from home and equally well suited as a children’s playroom or homework space, allowing parents to stay connected to daily family activity. Also off the family room is a large utility room, complete with an adjoining store room and an indoor log store, providing excellent practical space. A separate WC is located off the family room, ideal for everyday use.

Complementing the family areas is an impressive triple-aspect lounge, filled with natural light and centred around a large original fireplace with a log-burning stove, creating a warm and characterful space for relaxing evenings and family gatherings. There is also a separate study, which could comfortably serve as a formal dining room or quiet reading room, offering further flexibility.

Upstairs, the accommodation comprises four generous double bedrooms, all benefitting from en-suite bathrooms. Two of the principal bedrooms feature fitted wardrobes, and three of the bedrooms enjoy extensive open views across the adjoining golf course, creating a peaceful outlook and a wonderful sense of space and privacy.

The property also benefits from a detached large garage and workshop, above which is a self-contained one-bedroom flat providing valuable additional accommodation. The flat is small but well equipped, featuring a modern fitted kitchen and contemporary shower room, making it ideal for a college returner, children’s nanny or visiting guests who would benefit from a degree of independence.

Outside, the beautifully landscaped gardens provide a safe and enjoyable environment for children, while adults can relax and enjoy the open outlook backing directly onto Copt Heath Golf Course. The gardens include a greenhouse, raised planting beds, a dedicated storage building for garden equipment, and a summerhouse, ideal for gardening, hobbies and family use.

Importantly, the home is within safe walking distance of excellent local primary and secondary schools, making it a superb choice for families seeking both convenience and peace of mind.

This is a beautifully balanced and characterful family home, combining period charm, modern comforts and flexible accommodation in one of Knowle’s most sought-after locations.
