"There is a strong sense of community amongst the residents of Stanley Hill. They have been incredibly supportive and friendly since I moved here at the end of lockdown. If you need to borrow tools or need a helping hand, or even a quiz team member, you can find someone to help out. The views (including those of the balloon festival) across Bristol from Totterdown are amongst the best."
The home
A delightful mid-terrace Victorian home boasting stunning views across the city and thoroughly updated by the current owner, with comfort and long-term practicality in mind.
Downstairs, the front reception room is currently used as a bedroom and feels bright and spacious thanks to the high ceilings and wide double windows. Next door is the main open-plan space, bringing together the living room, kitchen and dining area – a really easy layout for day-to-day living. The lounge has restored original floorboards, a log burner set into a rebuilt fireplace, and useful under-stairs storage.
At the back, the kitchen and dining area is a real highlight: bright, open, and connected to the garden via a new picture window and patio doors. The kitchen has been fully refurbished with AEG appliances, and there’s a partial knock-through that pulls even more light through into the living space.
Upstairs, the rear bathroom has been completely redone from top to bottom, with a bath-and-shower combo and stylish glazed ceramic tiles. At the front are two double bedrooms, both with large windows, new carpets and sound insulation to both party walls and the master having thermal insulation to the external wall.
Other updates include a brand-new heat pump system (with new radiators), new windows and doors, and a solid package of future-proofing: heat and sound insulation, plus damp-proofing throughout.
The outside
At the rear is the garden, offering spectacular views across Bristol and ample space for summer barbecues or relaxing in the sun with a book. To the right, you’ll find additional outside storage.
At the front is a secluded space at the front of the property for bike and bin storage.
Living in Totterdown
Stanley Hill is a residential street in the heart of Totterdown, located in the south-east of the city. Within a five-minute walk of the house, you’ll find some of Bristol’s best cafés and restaurants such as The Sundial Kitchen, Fox & West Deli, and the Michelin-recommended Bank.
For those looking for green space, there are few better places in Bristol. The nearby Victoria Park offers approximately 50 acres of open space with fantastic views of the city. Perrett’s Park and Arnos Vale are also just a short walk away.
Stanley Hill has a strong sense of community amongst the residents of Stanley Hill. Just minutes away is Zone A – a plot on Wells Road between Highgrove and Firfield – which has been given to the community and provides a unique space with benches, trees, and artwork, creating a calm and welcoming atmosphere.
Totterdown is ideal for those working in Bristol or commuting to nearby cities via Temple Meads station. For drivers, Wells Road offers easy access both into the city and out towards the M32 or the countryside of Chew Valley, the Mendips, and North Somerset.
