On the Market Is a Stunning Bristol Townhouse With Its Art Studio

It has its workshop, and zen garden inspired by Japan and was the original showroom of master craftsmen Hayes and Howle. In Montpelier, a stunning artist residence with its impressive multi-functional workspace has hit the market. It is a truly unique property with three bedrooms (or four depending on how you configure your space) and two bathrooms.

The workshop, however, is the feature that truly distinguishes it from other properties in the area, and estate agents at Ocean say that their favourite feature is the ability to see:

• From the front reception room
• Through the house
• The length of the garden
• Through the detached studio
• Into the completely private Japanese-inspired Zen courtyard garden

They add that the overall plot size, amount of outside space, and studio are extremely rare to find in this desirable Montpelier neighbourhood. Furthermore, the Georgian townhouse was originally the showroom (with a workshop at the back) of ornamental plasterwork master craftsmen Hayes and Howle, complete with accommodation above. Decorative cornicing, ceiling roses, and columns can still be found throughout the property.

It is now a four-story home with a full depth and width basement level, ripe for further conversion or even more storage/additional workspace. The floor has been opened up to create a single combined kitchen, dining, and living space that leads to the rear garden via French doors. The front room and kitchen are separated by a solid oak wall with French doors for added privacy, and the bespoke kitchen is made of solid oak and has space for a range oven.

The stairs then lead to the first floor, which is currently being used as an additional sitting room with an original working fireplace. The first of three bedrooms is located in the front and features original stripped floorboards for added character. More stairs lead to the top floor, where you'll find two more bedrooms, including the master suite.
