" Built at the end of the eighteenth century, 30 Somerset Street is rich in elegant Georgian charm and offers a wealth of intriguing original period features, typical amongst this historically significant, cobbled street. Arranged over four floors, its distinctive period frontage mirrors the rear fa?ade with an elegant bath stone bay window on every floor.

The kitchen offers white porcelain sink with draining board, space for fridge-freezer, dishwasher and oven.

Situation
The eighteenth century saw a large amount of houses built in Kingsdown, as the professional and mercantile classes sought to move to a more elevated part of Bristol, away from the factories and smog of the city's industrial centre. Roads such as Somerset Street and Kingsdown Parade typify this Georgian architectural development. Today, Kingsdown has rapidly become a cosmopolitan centre nestled between Whiteladies Road, The Triangle and Gloucester Road. A tremendous amount of independent outlets including, bars, restaurants, caf?'s and supermarkets can be found nearby. These alongside access to a range of well regarded schools both within the state and private sector, make Kingsdown an attractive proposition. Bristol's M4/M5 motorway network can be reached from the M32 link road which is approximately one mile away. Local trains run from Redland into Temple Meads where main line access is available in to London Paddington.

Outside
The mature, rear walled garden offers privacy and tranquillity in abundance. It is predominantly laid to lawn, with well-stocked and nurtured borders. To the left, two established apple trees yield a high amount of fruit, whilst honeysuckle, jasmine and viburnum provide a captivating floral scent. Large white and yellow rose bushes enhance the garden with added colour. To the rear of the garden, a secure shed offers bike and equipment storage. "
