Kersteman Road, Bristol, BS6 7DJ

This extraordinary five-bedroom property is set within a beautifully converted church on Kersteman Road, offering nearly 3,000 square feet of highly flexible living space. Spread over four floors and including a fully self-contained annexe within the original church tower, this home is ideal for families seeking something truly distinctive in one of Bristol’s most sought-after areas. The location is moments from Redland Green and falls within the Area for Redland Green and Bishop Road schools. The house is rich in original character, with features such as stained glass windows, sandstone arches, carved stonework, and elegant bath stone detailing all retained and restored. The entrance opens into a dramatic hallway with marble floors and dark stone walls, setting the tone for the rest of the property. A concealed spiral staircase leads to the tower annexe, which includes its own living space, kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom — ideal for guests, older children, or as a private workspace. The main living spaces include a spacious hallway with limestone flooring and a dark timber staircase. The large open-plan kitchen and dining room is well appointed with bespoke timber units, granite worktops, a Belfast sink, and a central island. A beautiful stone pilaster and stained glass detailing add to the sense of history, while glazed doors open directly onto the terrace, seamlessly linking inside and out. On the first floor is a striking living room with timber floors and a large original archway, flanked by stained glass-topped windows. A mezzanine gallery looks down onto the kitchen below, while a separate utility area provides space for laundry appliances. The first floor also has a former access point to the tower annexe, which could be reinstated if desired. The master bedroom on the second floor enjoys a dual aspect and incorporates the stunning original tracery window, offering a dramatic and light-filled space. The en-suite shower room includes more stained glass and a modern suite. The third floor features two further double bedrooms with dormer windows, exposed beams, and built-in storage, along with a family bathroom. The fourth bedroom is tucked up in the roofline, full of charm with painted rafters, Velux windows, and a raised storage platform above the door. Outside, the recently landscaped terrace offers a fantastic space for entertaining, with an outdoor kitchen, pergola, festoon lighting, and ample seating space. A large shed provides extra storage. The property includes one allocated parking space behind electric gates with an EV charging point, as well as a secure bike store. Green spaces like Redland Green, St Andrews Park and Cotham Gardens are all nearby, and both Whiteladies Road and Gloucester Road are within easy reach for shopping, cafés, and restaurants.
