"After a busy day at work, one of the things I’ve loved most is how quickly it feels calm coming home here. In the summer, that might be opening up the kitchen doors and having a BBQ in the last of the sun, or heading out for a walk along the river and up Troopers Hill to catch the sunset. It’s that mix of having a quiet, peaceful home to come back to, but with everything you need just a short walk away, that’s made it such an easy place to live."
The home
Sold off market, a beautifully presented and thoughtfully updated two-bedroom terraced home with a loft room on Speedwell Avenue, offering over 1,000 sq. ft. of versatile accommodation arranged across three floors. Combining character features with contemporary finishes, this stylish home enjoys a warm and inviting feel throughout, complemented by a landscaped rear garden and converted loft room. The interior opens into a welcoming entrance hall with stairs rising through the home. To the front sits a cosy yet elegant lounge, where soft neutral décor is paired with a striking navy feature chimney breast and original-style fireplace, creating a calm and characterful living space. Large windows and light carpeting help enhance the sense of brightness throughout.
To the rear of the ground floor is a stunning open-plan kitchen and dining room, thoughtfully designed with modern living in mind. The kitchen features contemporary shaker-style cabinetry in a deep charcoal tone, complemented by brushed brass hardware, white metro-tiled splashbacks and timber work surfaces. Open shelving, a Belfast sink and oak-effect flooring add warmth and texture, while ample room for dining and direct access to the garden make this an excellent social and entertaining space. Upstairs, the first floor provides two generous double bedrooms and a spacious family bathroom. The principal bedroom spans the width of the property and benefits from tasteful two-tone decoration and a calm colour palette, while the second bedroom retains period charm with an original fireplace and soft blush-toned walls. The bathroom has been stylishly renovated with patterned floor tiles, white wall tiling, brass fittings and a freestanding wash basin atop a vintage-style timber vanity, creating a contemporary yet characterful finish.
The second floor has been converted to create an additional loft room with superb views from the window, currently utilised as a dressing room and occasional guest space. Exposed brickwork and rooflights add character and natural light, while the flexible layout offers potential for a home office, studio or hobby room.
The outside space
Externally, the south facing rear garden has been attractively landscaped to include a timber decked seating area, lawn and painted garden shed, offering a private and low-maintenance outdoor retreat ideal for summer dining and entertaining.
Living in St George
Speedwell Avenue is a quiet cul-de-sac in St George, located off of Cossham Road near the cemetery. As a result of the cul-de-sac, parking is often freely available on the street. It sits between Church Road and Avonview Cemetery, with peaceful riverside walks just moments away. St George’s Park is a short stroll across Church Road and remains one of the city’s most loved green spaces, offering a play area, tennis courts, café, skate park, and lake. The neighbourhood itself has a vibrant community feel, with a growing number of independent shops, cafés, and pubs — including local favourites like The Red Church, Orchard Café, The Bristol Loaf, and The Lock-Up. The shops and cafés of Easton are also easily reached via the Bristol to Bath Cycle Path, with well-known spots such as the Public Market, Catacolours, Garden of Easton, and Bristol Sweet Mart all nearby. For commuters, the area offers quick access into Bristol City Centre by bus, bike, or car, while Bath and the motorway network are within easy reach. Bristol Temple Meads is also just a short journey away, making this an ideal location for both work and leisure.
