Enjoying a prime position in central Redland, Chandos Road has a unique feel within Bristol, simultaneously feeling both cosmopolitan and also community-focused. The Kensington Arms, Little Hollows Pasta, Wilson’s Bread and The Bake Away cover a range of eating out (and taking home) options, with several other independent café-bars also being in the locality. Cotham Hill and Whiteladies Road can be reached in less than ten minutes on foot, with a choice of supermarkets including Sainsburys and M&S Food, as well as further restaurants and an Everyman cinema. The unique open space of The Downs is accessible on foot, with Cotham Gardens offering green space even closer to home. For those needing rail access, Redland Station is close to hand for trains to Temple Meads, whilst some of the city’s key employers including the BRI, BBC and University of Bristol are also nearby.
In a building unused for decades, this incredible transformation has taken place over the past 15 years using traditional materials, coupled with bold and imaginative design to create a classic yet refreshing take on city living. Its unassuming front façade gives little hint at what sits behind and only a viewing can really do it justice, not just to appreciate the materials and finishes, but also to understand architectural design that maximises storage and allows for magazine-style living in the real world.
The front area provides off-street parking with the ability to park on the road directly beyond, in effect providing an additional space. A bike store screens the front courtyard area from the road, creating a private suntrap courtyard. The front door opens into a lobby with substantial storage provision. A character hall, again with significant storage for coats and shoes, showcases natural stone detail and pegged oak beams and provides a tantalising glimpse of the living space beyond. The heart of the home is the bespoke Shaker-style kitchen and granite-topped island providing both casual seating and abundant storage. With Belfast sink, integrated dishwasher and a truly impressive larder cupboard, the kitchen forms a great cooking/entertaining space. Illuminated by a large, opaque window there is space to the side to more than comfortably accommodate a sizeable dining table, perfect for entertaining. The use of oak continues with two further utility cupboards that can accommodate a washing machine and tumble drier, with sufficient space to house laundry as well.
Moving across the underfloor gas-heated concrete floor, a few steps take you up to the beautiful exposed oak frame living room. Offering more space than many larger homes, this space is both connected and separate to the kitchen/dining space. A contemporary wood burner sits into the corner, a study desk is cleverly incorporated into a recess and an elegant staircase turns to the upper floor bedrooms. The juxtaposition of textures and colours with the flooring and beams creates a calming space. This feeling of tranquillity in the city is only enhanced by full-width bi-fold doors that open seamlessly onto the enclosed garden, enhanced by birdsong from the surrounding trees. With bespoke hand-made encaustic tiles, a maturing silver birch and vines to provide greenery and an area of artificial grass, this enclosed space is ideally set up for relaxation and outside dining. Looking back at the house the bespoke English oak frame comes in to its own.
The principal bedroom is positioned on the ground floor to the front of the property and has window and French doors opening onto the sunny courtyard. The bed is set under a spectacular double-yoked beam. A good-sided walk-through dressing area allows the sleeping space to remain uncluttered and restful and leads to an en-suite WC. The hall also hosts the main bathroom, featuring built-in jacuzzi bath and steam room/shower with seating, all concealed behind antiqued mirrored doors, the perfect space to kick-start or wind down your day in sumptuous surroundings. It is worth noting all the bathrooms and en-suites are bespoke and of the highest quality.
The two other bedrooms are accessed via the stairs from the living space. Built into the sling brace truss they are double sized rooms with each having a raised platform set into the oak frame. These rooms really seek to capitalise on the volume of the upper space with crafted doorframes that draw the eye upwards. One has a Juliet balcony overlooking the garden. Both have alcove areas not easily photographed that provide storage space. Both rooms currently accommodate desks together with other freestanding furniture as well as double beds. The raised platforms currently provide additional personal space for younger family members. These platforms were designed to be readily removable, depending on how an owner wants to use the rooms. They are serviced by a striking shower room accessed from the landing.
Quite simply a wonderful home that redefines city living and provides a unique opportunity to live in a fantastic location with a home that has both exceedingly practical and exceptionally beautiful, as well as being unique within this prized area.
