2 4 3 2 Built in circa 1780, Somerset Street is in the heart of Bristol’s first suburb, Kingsdown, which was created once wealthy Bristolians could use carriages to commute to the City Centre and Bristol Docks. An interesting fact is that Kingsdown is called Kingsdown because during the Civil War in the 17th Century the King’s Calvary exercised their horses on the Downs, hence the name “Kingsdown”.
The well appointed accommodation is arranged over three floors, and currently comprises of a well appointed kitchen/breakfast room on the lower ground floor with direct access to the South facing walled garden, and a generous dining room. The lower ground floor also benefits from a shower room with WC and washbasin, as well as a separate utility room. The Hall Floor is a delight with large windows allowing natural light to flood into the sitting room to the front, and the drawing room to the rear that enjoys the far reaching views across the cityscape. There is also a storage room with window to the rear aspect. The first floor offers the master bedroom, which again enjoys an abundance of natural light, as well as an ensuite shower room with WC and washbasin. There is a separate family bathroom that services two further bedrooms to the rear aspect.
Outside is the aforementioned walled garden to the rear, that is mainly laid to lawn and landscaped offering two patio areas to follow the sun throughout the day. In particular one is accessed directly from the kitchen/breakfast room offering any discerning buyer the opportunity to live an “al-fresco” lifestyle with the fabulous cityscape backdrop.
