4 Bedroom Terraced House For Sale In Bristol

Set amongst an attractive terrace of historic Georgian homes, 20 Orchard Street is an elegant Grade II* listed townhouse offering beautifully proportioned and wonderfully versatile accommodation in the heart of Bristol.

Since acquiring the property, the owner has thoughtfully refreshed the house throughout, introducing new carpets, restoring the flooring across the first floor and redecorating the interiors to create a lighter and more considered home, while being careful to preserve the architectural character that makes the property so distinctive.

The result is a home that balances its historic charm with a fresh and welcoming feel. Original sash windows, working shutters, decorative wall panelling, fireplaces and handsome proportions remain integral to the house, while the recent improvements allow these details to take centre stage.

The property is entered through a traditional hallway, where original panelling and the staircase immediately establish the character found throughout the house.

At the front of the ground floor is an elegant reception room, framed by a sash window and working shutters and featuring a beautiful original fireplace. Its proportions lend themselves equally well to use as a study, snug or more formal reception space.

Beyond is the dining room, providing a separate and inviting setting for entertaining. From here, the accommodation continues towards the rear of the house where a utility room and cloakroom sit alongside the kitchen. The kitchen provides a practical everyday space with a range of fitted cabinetry and integrated appliances, together with direct access to the rear courtyard.

The first floor has been arranged to make particularly good use of the property’s generous proportions. To the front is an impressive living room spanning the width of the house, with twin sash windows bringing natural light into the space and creating a wonderfully elegant principal reception room.

To the rear is a further sitting room, which provides considerable flexibility and could equally serve as a fourth bedroom, home office, snug or guest room depending on the requirements of its next owners.

The second floor is dedicated to the principal bedroom suite. The bedroom itself is generously proportioned and complemented by a separate dressing room and bathroom, creating a private floor with a particularly spacious feel.

Two further bedrooms occupy the uppermost floor, along with an additional bathroom, creating an arrangement that lends itself naturally to family life, visiting guests or those needing additional home-working space.

One of the most intriguing features of the property lies beneath the main house. The extensive vaulted cellar extends to approximately 474 sq ft and offers excellent storage together with exciting longer-term possibilities, subject of course to the necessary planning and listed building consents.

Outside, a private courtyard provides a valuable outdoor space within this central city setting.

Altogether, 20 Orchard Street is a fascinating Bristol home: rich in architectural character, beautifully refreshed by its current owner and offering over 2,100 sq ft of accommodation above ground, with the added benefit of an extensive cellar below.
