An open house viewing of Foxgloves Cottage, 118 Downend Road, Fishponds, a two-bed semi-detached natural stone period cottage with a long landscaped rear garden, is to be held on Saturday, September 10.
On the market for £205,000, this distinctive home offers ample accommodation including a stylish kitchen, luxury shower room, three reception rooms and two good-size bedrooms, in addition to the outstanding garden.
Exposed timber ceilings and panelled internal doors with brass/china-effect handles blend tastefully with more modern features like uPVC double-glazed and leaded windows, and laminate wood grain-effect floors.
Of particular interest to gardening enthusiasts will be the impressive 170ft long rear garden which has been beautifully landscaped by the current owners.
The 16ft 3ins x 11ft 4ins (4.95m x 3.45m) lounge looks out on to this garden and has an exposed timber ceiling and stone fireplace with a cast iron multi-fuel stove upon a slate-effect tiled hearth while the dining room/occasional bedroom 3, which also allows direct access on to the rear garden, has laminate wood grain-effect floor and twin double glazed French doors.
The second sitting room/study also has an exposed timber ceiling together with natural stone fireplace opening with stone tiled hearth, built-in double floor cupboard, natural timber window sill/display shelf and built-in display/bookshelves.
The kitchen, measuring 13ft x 7ft 8ins (3.96m x 2.34m), comes with a range of Shaker cream-effect wall, floor and drawer cabinets with brushed steel-effect handles, inset enamel sink with a Victorian-effect mixer tap over within natural wood block working surfaces, and Potterton gas-fired boiler for domestic hot water and central heating.
The shower room has a corner enclosure with an Essentials shower unit, low level W.C. and vanity wash basin with double cupboard beneath, slate-effect tiled floor, splashback tiling, heated towel rail and extractor.
The rear garden has an initial decorative gravelled surface and a concrete laid path with a natural stone border to one side with lovely flowering shrubs, roses and climbers. The pathway leads to a timber laid decking surface/patio with inset floodlights with a further stone raised border to one side and three steps to a higher section of extensive and level lawn.
On both sides of the lawn there are well-established and interesting borders with specimen shrubs and carefully selected plants. Midway through the garden there is a decorative slate laid surface within timber edging suitable as a seating area with a decorative timber archway and trellis alongside with flowering climbers.
Beyond the arch there are further lawned areas with additional well-stocked borders, a flagstone-effect laid patio/seating area, two timber sheds, a timber log store, a decorative gravelled storage hardstanding and a section of timber barked surface with mature flowering cherry and evergreen.
Mark Symonds, senior branch manager of Besley Hill Estate Agents at Fishponds, said: “This beautiful cottage is a gardener’s paradise but will suit professionals and those seeking a high quality home with considerable comfort and style.”
