Sydenham Road, Cotham

"The easy walks or cycles into work in the city centre, or even the closeness of Temple Meads train station for London trips. The coffee shop and bakery at the end of the road, perfect fresh bread and croissants. The Cafe and shops on Picton Street are just great, go find Licata's, Italian family deli and shop. The amazing restaurants of Chandos road, all the local pubs and bars too. As I write this I'm realizing just how much I will miss this special home."

The home

A beautifully finished mews house with loads of natural light, a sense of space and stylish vibe throughout. The front door opens onto a really practical porch, wall storage for 2 bikes and all the gas and electrical equipment in a utility cupboard, plus its ideal for coats and boots. The inner door opens onto a fab living area with direct sight lines front to back that create an open feel that shifts throughout the day. With engineered oak flooring, column radiators, a great shape for both lounge and dining areas and bi-fold doors, it's the perfect space to chill out or host guests in comfort. The kitchen is elegant and modern with chic white counter tops and loads of prep space and storage, perfect for remaining sociable and connected whilst getting some serious cheffing done (previous owner is and ex-chef) . There's a super handy downstairs loo rounding off the ground floor and soundproofed understairs cupboard for a washing machine.

Upstairs are two excellent double bedrooms. The main is at the rear and has loads of natural light that pours through the French doors. These can be opened to expose a toughened glass Juliet balcony meaning a wonderful through breeze on those hot summer evenings. The front facing bedroom is a great size and catches the morning sun. With column radiators and a sizeable alcove that's perfect for a home office it makes the ideal guest room/office. There's an elegant bathroom finished in classic white with a full sized bath, rainfall shower and vanity unit.

The outside

Accessed via the bi-fold doors is a cute and incredible private south west facing courtyard garden, low maintenance and high enjoyment all summer long.
