"It's been a wonderful home to bring up a family in. Lots of indoor and outdoor space, lots of light. But the best thing has been living in Milford St - it's a very special street and a great community."
This home
Occupying a peaceful position on one of Southville’s most well-regarded residential streets, this substantial four-bedroom home extends across three floors and offers over 1,580 sq ft of versatile living space. Full of colour, character and thoughtful design, the house balances generous proportions with a warm, creative atmosphere that feels immediately welcoming.
The ground floor has been opened and arranged around modern family life, centred on an impressive 22ft lounge/dining space where exposed timber beams, wooden flooring and large glazed doors create a strong connection to the garden beyond. The kitchen sits naturally within the space, offering storage and preparation areas while remaining sociable and open to the rest of the room. To the front elevation, a separate reception room provides flexibility as an additional sitting room, workspace or playroom, while a pantry and downstairs WC add practicality.
The upper floors are arranged around four comfortable double bedrooms, all well-proportioned and filled with natural light. Elevated views across the city skyline from the upper storeys give the house a rare sense of openness, stretching across South Bristol towards the city beyond. A family bathroom and useful built-in storage complete the accommodation.
Outside
One of the standout features of the home is the beautifully established rear garden. Thoughtfully planted and surprisingly private, the space unfolds into a series of seating areas framed by mature greenery, creating an atmosphere that feels calm, secluded and well suited to both entertaining and quieter everyday use. A garden studio at the rear offers further flexibility for creative work, storage or hobbies.
Living in Southville
Milford Street is a quiet residential street in Southville. The house lies close to North Street, a hub for local independents, restaurants, and shops, including Michelin recommended COR and OTHER, coffee shops Sweven and Burra, and The Tobacco Factory - a café, bar, and theatre that hosts a bustling Sunday market.
A short stroll across Gaol Ferry Bridge (10 minutes) will take you to Wapping Wharf - a vibrant foodie destination set on the edge of Bristol’s historic harbourside. Serving from converted cargo containers, you’ll find top Bristol indies including Gambas, Cargo Cantina, Lapin, Ragu and Swoon Gelato, as well as Elevate Yoga Studio, Hue Hair and Beauty, and Anna Cake Couture. The city centre is a further 15 minutes on foot.
Several parks are within easy reach of Fairfield Road with Greville Smyth Park a 15 minute walk away and the sprawling Ashton Court Estate a further 20 minutes beyond - an expansive 850 acres of wood and grassland that is home to the annual Bristol Balloon Fiesta.
Bristol Temple Meads is a 10 minute drive or 30 minute walk away and offers direct services to Bath Spa (11 minutes) and London Paddington (1 hour 35 minutes). For local connections, the city centre is a short walk or cycle ride, and bus routes run regularly from North Street.
