Henleaze Avenue, Bristol, BS9

Positioned on a picturesque, tree-lined avenue between Henleaze Road and Durdham Down, this exceptional five-bedroom, semi-detached, Victorian family home offers a combination of timeless period charm and thoughtfully considered modern updates, with a generous south facing garden and original features.

The property is entered via a charming vestibule with stained-glass windows and attractive tiled flooring, leading to a welcoming hallway with stripped wooden floors and built-in under-stairs storage. To the front, the bay-fronted sitting room features a stunning original marble fireplace and double-glazed sash-style windows—installed in line with the local Conservation Area requirements.

To the rear, two former receptions have been opened into a generous open-plan living and dining area, offering ample space for family life and entertaining. A second bay with French doors opens onto the south-facing garden, while the adjoining kitchen enjoys contemporary worktops, garden views, and direct access to a practical utility room. This leads to a secondary entrance, downstairs WC, and shower room.

Upstairs, the first floor offers three bedrooms, including a large principal bedroom to the front with built-in wardrobes and a wide bay window. A second double overlooks the garden and includes vanity storage, while the third bedroom makes an ideal nursery or home office. The family bathroom is well appointed and features a modern white suite, shower over bath, and heated towel rail.

The top floor comprises two further double bedrooms, each with dual-aspect views across the surrounding neighbourhood. The rear room enjoys particularly lovely garden outlooks and works equally well as a guest room or teenager’s retreat.

Outside, the private south-facing garden (measuring approx. 68ft) is a standout feature—designed with three distinct zones for seating, entertaining, and play. It includes mature planting, four palm trees, a fig tree, a grapevine, a pond, and a mix of patio and decking areas. The garden is not overlooked and benefits from side access and excellent peace and quiet thanks to its central position on the avenue.

To the front, the approach is equally welcoming, with Victorian-style paving, established planting, and a pathway that leads to the handsome front entrance. This is a substantial and beautifully maintained family home, perfectly positioned within catchment for outstanding primary and secondary schools (including Bristol Free School), close to excellent private schools, major employers such as Southmead Hospital and Airbus, and just minutes from The Downs, Henleaze High Street, a GP surgery, supermarkets, award-winning restaurants, cinemas, playgrounds, and superb transport links.
