“One of the things we’ll miss most is how easy everything is from here. Being able to walk into town and to work every day without relying on the car has been such a luxury. North Street is only 10–15 minutes away, with its brilliant mix of pubs, markets, independent shops and coffee spots, and we love being able to walk across to Victoria Park too. At home, the garden has been a real highlight with the open space behind means we’re not overlooked, it gets the evening sun and it’s so peaceful sitting out watching all the birds come to the feeders.”
This home
A characterful two-bedroom home with a lovely sense of space, this beautifully presented property on Marksbury Road combines period charm with a layout that works brilliantly for modern life. At approximately 949 sq. ft., there is considerably more here than you might first expect, with generous rooms, thoughtful touches throughout and a wonderful conservatory overlooking the garden.
The ground floor begins with a welcoming entrance hall, leading through to a warm and inviting living room. Full of character, the room has a cosy feel with a feature fireplace and plenty of space to relax. To the rear, the kitchen/diner provides a sociable heart to the home, with a practical layout and plenty of room for a dining table. From here, doors open into the conservatory, creating a light-filled space to enjoy the garden throughout the seasons.
Upstairs are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both with their own character and plenty of natural light. The larger of the two offers excellent floor space and useful built-in storage, while the second bedroom is a versatile room that would work equally well as a guest bedroom, nursery or home office. A spacious family bathroom completes the first floor, with a freestanding bath and separate walk-in shower.
Outside
Outside, the garden is a real highlight, offering a generous and beautifully established space with a wonderful sense of privacy. A large paved terrace provides plenty of room for outdoor dining and relaxing, framed by mature planting, established borders and climbing greenery. The open outlook beyond the garden means there are no immediate neighbours overlooking you, while the evening sun makes this a particularly lovely spot to unwind at the end of the day. A useful garden store and gated access complete the outside space.
Living in Bedminster
Placed on a quiet residential street within the popular suburbs of Bedminster. One of the real benefits of this house is the amount and variety of parks and green spaces within a short distance. Victoria Park, Perretts Park, Redcatch Park and Community Garden and Arnos Vale Cemetery are all within easy reach of the house, providing brilliant open spaces for the summer or for walking the dog all year round. The area is easily commutable from Bristol City Centre, approximately 30 minutes walk, and is also conveniently located for those looking to get over to Bristol Temple Meads or Bedminster Train Stations. The area is also well equipped for Schools with Victoria Park Primary being a short walk away and has been voted 'Bristol's Best School'. The area also has lots of amenities on the doorstep with the Wells Road and North Street being equidistant from the house and both offering a large range of shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants. The Victoria Park pub is a short stroll away and a great spot for a Sunday lunch or a beer in the garden. Closer still, St Johns Lane is home to both The Park Bakery and the fantastic new edition of Corner Stores (from the owners of Fox and West) where you can get your pastries and a quality coffee.
