Bath Road, Bitton, Bristol

4 Bedroom Detached House for sale in Bristol

2 4 1

The property is set in the popular village of Bitton just opposite the entrance to Avon Valley Railway and the Bristol-Bath cycle path. The house is a fine example of Victorian architecture, built in 1858 with a symmetrical double bay fronted fa�ade. Largely unspoilt and in the same family ownership for some 60 years the house has many fine examples of the architectural period including lofty ceiling heights, deep skirting boards, corniced ceilings, panelled internal doors, sash bay windows and some period and later 1950s fireplaces. The property is now ready for the next owner to carryout a sympathetic programme of modernisation to suit their own requirements.

Internally the accommodation is arranged over two main floors with attic rooms on the second floor. The ground floor is approached through a central hallway with three large reception rooms, two of which have been merged many years ago to provide a large room running the full depth of the house. In addition there is a kitchen and separate laundry room. The first floor has four bedrooms, three of which are large doubles together with a bathroom. A staircase leads to the attic where there are two attic rooms with enormous scope for conversion to provide formal living accommodation ideal for creating a main bedroom suite or perhaps an integral annexe flat.

On the outside there is ample parking to the front and space for garaging to the side while the good size rear garden is in need of some cultivation and in a semi natural state. Towards the end of the garden is a derelict brick built pigsty giving further potential for further development, subject to consents.

Bitton is a popular location between the cities of Bristol and Bath. The property is set on the A431 close to Willsbridge in the Bitton Parish with immediate access to the Bristol-Bath cycle path and Avon Valley Railway and in walking distance of a local convenience store and petrol station and a garden centre with a popular cafe.

Gallagher Retail Park and the Bristol Ring Road is approximately 2 miles away and offers good access to the motorway network while the park is home to many national retailers including Marks and Spencer, Asda, B&Q, Boots, Superdrug etc. The Town of Keynsham which is also 2 miles offers a good range of day to day amenities including a railway station and Waitrose Food Store. The City of Bristol which offers amenities on a regional scale is approximately 6 miles while the Georgian City of Bath is 6.8 miles and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with a renowned range of facilities and beautiful architecture.
