"I've absolutely loved living at The Old Vicarage these last 10 years. It's got that beguiling sense of being in a village location yet is so close to all main amenities and central Bristol. I really love the shops and cafes in Sandy Park Road and never miss a Saturday lunchtime visit to the Deli where the sense of community is wonderful. Another favourite hangout is the taproom at the Hop Union micro brewery in Emery Road, it's a real cosy hidden gem."
Brislington boasts several well-regarded shops and cafes including Grounded and Deli at Sandy Park. Tapestry and Lost & Grounded are nationally renowned Bristol breweries with tap rooms. The area is popular with young professionals and families, being both close to the city centre but also accessible to several parks and larger green areas, such as the Nightingale Valley Nature Reserve and St Annes Wood. Arnos Vale Cemetery is just a short walk away and there are extensive footpaths around the River Avon, which wrap around Brislington through some scenic spots which include the popular Beese’s Riverside Bar. The area is also home to several good schools, such as Holymead and Broomhill Primary. For commuters, Brislington is well placed, with several buses running through the area including the Park & Ride, as well as routes for cycling and walking to Bristol City Centre.
This unique, Grade II listed building is bursting with character and charm. Built c.1710, The Old Vicarage retains plenty of original period features whilst the current owner has significantly upgraded the kitchen to put a contemporary take on a historical home. The ground floor features a large reception room which spans the length of the building, a modern kitchen with accompanying pantry and a separate sitting room. Without doubt one of the key selling points of this detatched home is the outdoor space; the rear courtyard is almost totally private and not overlooked. The front garden was formally an orchard in the 18th Century and a beautiful apple tree remains producing Bramley cooking apples along with two pear trees. There is plenty of space for off street parking as well as a versatile garage building which could be converted subject to planning permission. The first floor features a three piece family bathroom and three double bedrooms, one of which features an en suite bathroom. The second floor then features two further bedrooms with dormer windows offering some great views. There is also a versatile cellar space currently used for storage which could also be renovated to create more reception space or bedrooms. The vendor has had a damp and timer survey completed which will be available upon viewing.
