Roseberry Park, Redfield

"It's been our home since we were first married and the place we raised our three children!"

The house

This three-bedroom Victorian terrace in Redfield would be a great family home with plenty of scope to put your own stamp on it. The layout works well - a living room and dining room run through the ground floor, both with original cornicing and wood floors that give the spaces a warm, easy feel. The living room at the front has a bay window that brings in good light, and the two rooms connect naturally through an arch, making the ground floor feel spacious & bright. French doors at the back of the dining room open onto the garden. The kitchen is a good size and has been well maintained. Upstairs, the main bedroom is a proper double with room to breathe, and there are two further rooms - one currently used as a study with original floorboards, and a smaller third bedroom to the rear. The bathroom is functional with a shower enclosure, though like the kitchen it's ready for someone to make it their own.

The outside space

The rear garden is compact but has real character - ivy and climbing plants cover the back wall almost entirely, giving it a lush, tucked-away feel. There's a paved patio area with room for garden furniture, and a storage unit to one side. Out front, the property has a small forecourt with established planting behind a low brick wall.
