The Firs: A Gracious Six-Bedroom Family Home with off-street parking in the Heart of Redland

Set on one of Redland’s most desirable residential roads, The Firs is a beautifully appointed semi-detached home offering extensive accommodation across four floors. With circa 4,000 square feet of space, an adaptable layout and an abundance of natural light, it is ideally suited to family life in all its forms.

The house is set back from the road behind a landscaped front garden, with access via a pillared pedestrian gate. A secondary entrance leads from the off-street parking area directly into the rear garden, adding convenience and privacy.

A glazed porch welcomes you in, complete with decorative stained glass and ample space for coats and boots. Double doors open into a wide entrance hall, where the scale and warmth of the home begin to unfold. A handsome central staircase rises to the upper floors, beautifully lit by a tall stained glass window. A second stairwell leads down to both the kitchen and the lower ground floor.

On the ground floor are three reception rooms, each with its own distinct character. The principal sitting room features a broad bay window and a cast-iron wood-burning stove, creating a refined yet comfortable space to relax. To the front, a generous dining room offers flexibility, equally well-suited for formal dining, a playroom or a snug. The third reception space is currently used as a guest bedroom, served by an adjoining bathroom, making it an excellent suite for relatives or those requiring level access.

Stairs from both the hallway and dining room lead to a well-designed kitchen and breakfast room. Finished with quartz worktops and fitted with sleek cabinetry, this light-filled space includes an oversized island with seating for casual dining. A large window frames views of the garden, and there is space for a freestanding fridge and freezer, as well as integrated appliances. The lower ground floor provides outstanding flexibility. Currently arranged as a utility space with a laundry room, ironing room, workshop and two internal storerooms, it also benefits from direct access to the garden. With appropriate permissions, this floor could be reimagined as a self-contained annexe, a cinema room or a generous studio space.

The staircase leads to a bright and spacious first-floor landing. A double bedroom on the half-landing offers an ideal home office or study. The principal bedroom, located to the front, features an en-suite shower room and bay window. Two further double bedrooms offer excellent proportions - one includes built-in wardrobes, while the other enjoys leafy views across Redland Court and the city beyond.

The second floor features a beautifully appointed family bathroom with a freestanding twin-ended bath and a walk-in shower. A large vanity basin, heated towel rail and ample storage, including a 250-litre hot water tank, complete the space.

On the top floor are two further double bedrooms, both offering generous proportions and flexibility. These are perfect for children, guests or long-stay family members. The larger of the two rooms includes a fitted sink and access to eaves storage. A spacious landing with fitted cupboards provides further storage and access to the loft above.

The gardens wrap around the side and rear of the property, enjoying a sunny, south-facing aspect. A paved terrace provides an excellent area for al fresco dining and entertaining, while the main lawn is bordered by mature plants and enclosed fencing, offering privacy and calm. A gate connects directly to the off-street parking area, while an outdoor storeroom provides useful space for garden equipment, furniture coverings and firewood. The undercroft is currently used for additional log storage.

The Firs is an exceptional family home that balances scale, heritage and versatility. Its generous proportions, original features and thoughtful modernisation offer something rare in the market – a home with both character and convenience, set in one of Bristol’s most desirable neighbourhoods.

Whether you’re seeking space to grow, options for extended family, or simply a house with heart and flexibility, The Firs is a property ready to evolve with you.
