If your search for a new home in Bristol has left you feeling underwhelmed, a distinctive and imaginative property in St Andrews could be the perfect find to reignite your excitement. Constructed in 2015, No.150 Sommerville Road South is a striking, architect-designed, three-bedroom detached house that blends modern flair with creative design. This exceptional home earned the 2016 Daily Telegraph Home Building and Renovating Award for Most Inspiring Home, a testament to its standout appeal.
Listed by Elephant Estate Agents for £825,000, this property presents a rare opportunity to own a truly unique residence. Ideally situated, it’s just 0.3 miles from St Andrew’s Park, 0.5 miles from the vibrant Gloucester Road—brimming with shops, bars, cafes, and restaurants—and offers easy access to major transport routes like the M32, M4, and M5.
The house is tucked behind a secure cantilever electric sliding gate, featuring a sleek modern exterior, off-street parking, and a thoughtfully landscaped garden. Step inside, and you’re greeted by a bright, contemporary interior that’s sure to impress. The hallway, with its polished Jura limestone flooring and underfloor heating, flows effortlessly into the kitchen, dining, and living areas, as well as a separate sitting room.
The sitting room is a chic, dual-aspect retreat with a sliding door opening onto a cobbled lightwell. Engineered oak flooring with underfloor heating adds warmth, while built-in alcove units and a cozy log-burning stove elevate the space’s charm.
At the heart of the home, the kitchen and dining area is tailor-made for gatherings. The sleek Minotti Cucine kitchen boasts black granite worktops, an inset sink with an extendable mixer tap, and integrated appliances, including a five-ring gas hob, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, and double oven. The dining space opens via a sliding door to a beautifully landscaped courtyard garden, complete with paving, mature flower beds, a built-in bench, and ambient lighting.
Adjacent to the kitchen, a practical utility room offers built-in larder storage and additional granite-topped base units. A striking central staircase, illuminated by inset spotlights and featuring a recessed alcove, leads to the first floor.
Upstairs, a spacious and airy landing offers views down Ashley Court Road and toward the allotments near St Werburghs. It’s cleverly fitted with bespoke full-height wardrobes, shelving, and a desk—ideal for a home office setup. The main bedroom is a haven of style, with custom wardrobes, a built-in dressing table, and a sliding pocket door leading to a modern en-suite shower room.
Two additional bedrooms share a luxurious, light-filled bathroom, finished to an impeccable standard.
