This house onMount Hill Road, Hanham,works on many levels as a family home, a great entertaining space and as property that can make its owners money on account of the annexe.

Its been altered and extended upwards and outwards, but the core of the property is still packed with period features, from original stained glass, to ceiling roses and enormous bay windows that flood the principal rooms with light.

There are four such floor-to-ceiling bays the two on the ground floor dominating the living and dining rooms, which can be merged into one huge space (perfect for parties) when panelled bifolding doors are pulled back.

Brass chandeliers add a touch of class in each room, while in the living room a fireplace with decorative wooden mantelpiece and marble hearth houses an electric fire (theres also a gas supply). A chimney breast remains in the dining room, but without a fireplace, though it could be reinstated.

In the kitchen/breakfast room theres no shortage of storage space among the pale, wooden cupboards, which are topped with granite work surfaces, including over the central breakfast bar. Appliances include a five-ring gas hob, double oven, steamer and microwave, dishwasher and American-style fridge-freezer with ice maker and filtered water. Wooden glazed doors open to the rear garden and theres also access to a utility room.

Also at the rear of the house on the ground floor is the study, or fifth bedroom, which has extensive glazing and patio doors. It is linked both to the annexe and the hallway, which contains the original staircase and an under- stairs toilet with grey suite.

Upstairs, occupants of the two biggest bedrooms get to enjoy those bay windows, which afford great views. The master suite, meanwhile, currently houses a four-poster bed (available by separate negotiation) and an en suite bathroom.

A third bedroom has fitted wardrobes and the main bathroom is fitted with a Champagne-coloured suite.

In a loft conversion, stretching for more than 6m and reached via a spiral staircase from the main landing, are two Velux windows, a shower room, extensive storage under the eaves and a sauna cabin.
