4 Bedroom Home – For Sale

Hopewell are privileged to bring to market this delightful property, that offers the opportunity for a discerning buyer to acquire a fine Grade II Listed family home. Dating from circa 1788, the handsome facade is Stucco finished with attractive brick and limestone dressings. There are beautiful sash windows creating a four story bay, and attractive wrought iron railings and light well grills that have been sympathetically refurbished and are finished by a rare and elegant lamp basket.

The inside of this family home is fabulous, it oozes classical features with some contemporary finishes. They work extremely well together combining the convenience of modern living with the charm of a fine mid Georgian property. The room sizes are well proportioned and comfortable, and have a bright and light feel due to the large sash bay windows to the South West elevation, as well as the lovely arched sash window, and dormer window that allow natural light to poor into the stairwell. The principle living and entertaining accommodation occupies the ground and lower ground floors, with the Four Double bedrooms, two bathrooms and the wet room on the upper floors.

The property has been completely refurbished and reconfigured by the current owners, using the renowned Bristol Architectural practice Richard Pedlar Architects, who specialises in conservation and urban design. Of particular note, is the pair of newly formed dormer windows to the rear aspect, that transform the top floor.The lower ground floor has been completely opened up, and retains some wonderful features from the old scullery, whilst being lit by a contemporary shadow gap lighting system that creates a very versatile living space. 

Number 28 forms part of one of Bristol's favoured residential terraces, and as such any new buyer will find that they are instantly welcomed into a friendly, family environment. Kingdsown has a vibrant community with good access to local shops, restaurants, pubs and cafes. It is ideally situated for the BRI, the University and some of Bristol's top schools.

Hopewell highly recommend a viewing of this special property at the soonest opportunity, as properties of this calibre, in such a great location, do not come to market very often.
