18 RADNOR ROAD

"We love being so close to the Gloucester Road. Before we started a family it was for an impromptu trip to our favourite wine bar, Cave, just around the corner. They always have a great recommendation and something new to try. After having a baby it was for the coffee shops and baby groups! We love having the big, bright space in the kitchen and opening the doors out onto the garden on a nice day, and closing the sliding doors to stick the wood burner on in the living room on a cold evening."

The home

A substantial family home on Radnor Road in Bishopston, offering a high quality renovation and functional floorplan. Within the sellers four year tenure the interior and structure has been transformed including both a side return extension and first floor extension, improving the size of the back/third bedroom to make space for the ensuite. Style has been clearly imprinted in every room, perfectly balancing contemporary finishes with retained period detail.

The interior begins with a traditional Victorian entrance hall, boasting wooden floorboards underfoot. Double doors open to the family/living room, with striking wooden sliding doors assisting with separating the space. The living room features a large chimney breast, bay window and plantation wooden shutters, whilst the family room is utilised for book storage and office space. Steps then drop down to the impressive kitchen/dining area, completed by a reputable local firm and finished to the highest standard. Highlights of the room include multiple skylights, forming the side return, large island with breakfast bar and ample floor space for dining, lounging and a children's play area. The south facing garden is accessed via double doors, leading to a patio area and spacious lawn. There is a gate to the rear lane at the back of the garden, along with a small outbuilding for storage. Heading to the first floor, you find three double bedrooms, and two bathroom suites. The primary room sits at the front of the property, spanning the width of the home. Adjacent is the second bedroom utilised as a nursery. Next is a family bathroom with a bath, and the third bedroom with ensuite tastefully completes the interior.
