Three-bed 1950s timewarp property after couple's incredible transformation
A three-bed home once stuck in a 1950s 'timewarp' has been put on the market by a loving family after being given a dramatic makeover.
The property on leafy Grindell Road in Redfield, Bristol has now been listed by Boardwalk Property Co for £400,000 as the couple prepare to wave goodbye to their first home and move onto pastures new.
It has nearly doubled in value since they bought it for £202,000 back in 2017, and new photographs reveal the scale of the transformation that has taken in the home over the last few years.
In the spacious living room a mid-century fireplace has been replaced by a log-burner, with traditional wallpaper stripped out for pastel pink painted walls.

The family’s favourite nearby spots were "Nightingale Valley for spring walks, Cobham River for summer swimming and cosy pints at the Dark Horse and of course, coffee and treats from The Bristol Loaf".

They said the home was perfect for their children as there was a garden, as well as good schools nearby. It is a short drive away from junction 2 of the M32, and the popular Bristol to Bath cycle path is also nearby.
The local Lawrence Hill Station is not far from Bristol Temple Meads, which can alternatively be reached by car or cycle.
