"For over thirty years this wonderful house has been my home. Throughout our journey together, be it with young children, teenagers, older relatives or grandchildren living under one roof, this house has been perfect. I will miss it greatly but hope to pass it onto a family that will be every bit as happy here as I have been."

The home

With 3,081 square feet of accommodation arranged over five floors, this beautiful six bedroom, four bathroom Victorian semi detached home has a degree of flexibility that makes it perfect for large or multi-generational families. Useable as one large home or two separate dwellings, this is a house that can evolve with a family across decades. Originally built by a shipping magnate, hence the "Ships' Bow" aesthetic of the elevation and huge bay windows overlooking the City. There is a level of opulence in the original features that one doesn't often see, a truly unique home.

The outside

To the front is a highly private, paved West facing garden, perfect for the late afternoon and evening sun. To the rear is a sunken side return patio garden as well as a street level seating area and parking space.

Living in Cotham.

Sydenham Road is a quiet residential road that runs off of Cotham Brow towards Kingsdown. Close to Cheltenham and Gloucester Road, this flat has some of Bristol's best independent cafes and restaurants on its doorstep, including The Bullrush, The Crafty Egg, Bianchi's Italian, and Caper and Cure. The flat is also a short walk from popular pubs including The Kingsdown Vaults, The Gallimaufry and The Canteen - which hosts regular live music nights.

Well connected, Sydenham Road is a short walk or cycle into Bristol city centre. Buses run frequently along the A38, taking you further up Gloucester Road or down to South Bristol. Local train services are easily accessed by Montpelier/Redland stations, which will also get you to Bristol Temple Meads and beyond.
