The home

This two-bedroom terraced Victorian home on Whitehall Road offers more than initially meets the eye! From the front it appears like many other terraced Victorian properties in the area, however the main entrance is from the rear where there is a driveway and garage space. With a history as rich as its interiors, the street was originally built to house railway workers, when the now-beloved Bristol to Bath Cycle Path was still an active train line. This well-loved family home feels welcoming as soon as you enter. There is a sense of magic here; the owners have collected antiques and added a personal touch that makes it feel truly unique, while beautiful original features have been carefully preserved throughout.

The downstairs is open plan with a colourful and eclectic kitchen space with dining area, laid with reclaimed wood flooring that adds warmth underfoot. Doors reclaimed from a train carriage lead you through to the cosy living room, where a wood burner makes it the perfect retreat on cooler evenings. Heading upstairs, the original floorboards have been retained, creaking with character beneath your feet, and the original plasterwork features, including elegant cornicing and a beautiful hallway arch, are a reminder of the craftsmanship of the era. There are two equal-sized double bedrooms boasting large windows and plenty of natural light, and a colourful, small but beautifully designed bathroom suite complete with Omni tub.

The outside space

The garden at the rear serves as the main entrance and has been thoughtfully designed to offer far more than a simple passageway. A sweet patio terrace leads out from the kitchen, partially covered to create a wonderful indoor/outdoor living space, ideal for year-round entertaining. Beyond, there is a driveway and garage space, and the garden is home to plenty of mature planting including fruit trees and a beautiful blossom. At the front of the home, looking out onto Whitehall Road, a small tiered garden space leads up from the pavement, brimming with character.

Living in Redfield

Whitehall Road is a terraced street offering a bustling spot within this vibrant residential area of the city. The home sits on the border of Whitehall, Redfield and Easton and the area is renowned for its distinctive character and community spirit and boasts a host of local amenities, attractions and community events that draw many visitors from outside the area. The area is well connected to the city centre and beyond by bike, road and train. The M32 and the A431 to Bath are both easily accessible. The area is also home to a number of Bristol's finest independent shops and eateries, hugely popular with locals and visitors alike. Situated along St Marks Road are Bristol Sweet Mart, and The Garden of Easton. Also close by are No 12 Café, The Greenbank pub, Este Kitchen, Matter Wholefoods, and Public Market. This house is a six minute walk away from Whitehall Primary School, while May Park is a similarly well-regarded local option. Also close by are Easton Leisure Centre, Easton Cowboys, and Cowgirls Sports Club and the Bristol Hawks Gymnastics Club, a city-wide family activity attraction. The area offers a surprising wealth of green spaces including the Greenbank Cemetery, the parks at Eastville and St George, and riverside walks along the nearby Frome Valley, and just minutes from the house is the locally cherished Bristol to Bath Cycle Path, ideal for commuting quickly into the city centre or just for weekend strolls, long runs or bike rides.
