"I will always have such fond memories of this house - I've loved hosting big dinner parties which overflow into the garden, the kitchen has been the heart of this home'
The house
This four-bedroom Victorian terrace in Eastville has a lot going for it. Its period features have been beautifully preserved; original floorboards, high ceilings, period cornicing and fireplaces in multiple rooms — and the current owner has further enhanced its character with warm interiors and a minimalist yet tasteful design. The living room at the front is a good size, with a bay window and a cast iron fireplace with tiled surround. The kitchen/diner running across the back of the house really stands out with original chequerboard floor tiles, a fireplace, a dresser alcove and doors out to the garden. It's a perfect room for entertaining. There's also a separate utility room and WC off the back. Upstairs, the main bedroom is a generous double with its own fireplace and built-in alcove wardrobes, a second double sits alongside it, and two further rooms work well as a home office, yoga studio or guest room. The bathroom has been tastefully designed with blue hues & patterned tiles and with sufficient space for a standalone bath & shower.
The outside space
The rear garden has been well looked after and has real character — a paved terrace sits directly off the kitchen, stepping up to a lawned area with established planting including a Japanese maple, raised herb beds and flowering shrubs. It's a lovely garden which feels private and looked after. Out front, the house sits behind a small planted forecourt on a handsome stone-fronted terrace, with blossom trees adding to the street in spring.
Living in Eastville
This house is situated on Fishponds Road, in between Eastville and Fishponds. The area is popular with young professionals and families as it benefits from several well-regarded schools and many open green spaces such as Eastville Park, the Oldbury Court Estate and the Coombe Brook Nature Reserve. Areas for activities are plentiful with the Bristol to Bath Cycle Path running through this part of BS5 and BS16. The area has several popular cafes and shops such as FED, Coffee #1, Porto Lounge, The Crafty Egg and Mi Café Su Café in Fishponds as well as Staple Bakery & Sweetmart on St Mark's Road in Easton. For commuters, Fishponds and Eastville are very convenient with ease of access to the M32 and M4 motorways, as well as just being a short cycle, drive, train or bus journey into the city centre or to large areas of employment across North Bristol.
