The Voke family were renowned builders celebrated in the area for their quality, character, and attention to detail. Voke-designed homes are prominent in Henleaze. Often found on desirable roads within North Bristol, they show distinctive features such as half-beamed and stuccoed elevations, asymmetrical gable roofs, and inglenook fireplaces. The Laurels is arguably Voke’s most exuberant expression of this style, being built as his own home, and with fine internal beams, leaded windows, and herringbone flooring.

Henleaze remains one of Bristol’s most desirable suburbs as it offers so much in terms of family life. With a thriving High Street full of independent shops, cafés, restaurants, and pubs, it retains a real sense of community, bolstered by a wide array of societies, activities, and events. The area enjoys a range of great schools, both state and independent, as well as ready links to both the city centre and commuter routes out of Bristol.

The Laurels has been sympathetically improved and very well cared for over the years, yet retains a great deal of its original character and charm.

A front porch, with Tudor-style render and timber detail, provides entry into an impressive central hallway. An oak herringbone floor gives a warmth to the space, whilst a magnificent return staircase rises to the upper floor, with attractive banister, panelling, and beam detailing to the ceiling. To the right of the hall is an impressively sized, triple aspect reception room, with bay window overlooking the front gardens, inglenook fireplace with flanking windows, beamed ceiling, and herringbone flooring under carpet. The second reception room is also of good size with windows to the front, decorative fireplace with flanking windows and feature wooden beam above, herringbone floor under carpet, feature Renaissance-style plasterwork to the ceiling, and arch window to the rear that now overlooks the orangery.

The triple aspect open plan kitchen and living space is to the rear of the property, with doors out on to the terrace and window overlooking the garden. Comprehensively fitted with a range of bespoke oak units topped with granite worktop, as well as a kitchen island, this is a space for both entertaining and everyday family life.
