3 Bedroom House - Semi-Detached
"We love enjoying the coffee in the early morning sun in the garden and late evening strolls around St. George's Park."
The house
This beautiful three-bedroom semi-detached house is a rare find for buyers looking to put down roots in BS5. What makes the house stand out is it’s continuity of style throughout — the current owners have renovated with a clear eye, and the result is a home that feels genuinely considered from front to back.
The ground floor centres on an open-plan kitchen and dining area that's been well thought through. The kitchen is fitted in deep teal cabinetry with terrazzo splashbacks and integrated appliances, opening through into a built-in banquette dining space that's as practical as it is characterful. The living room sits at the front of the house with a bay window, original fireplace with log burner, and alcove shelving either side. Tucked neatly under the stairs is a characterful ground floor WC — one of those additions that quietly makes everyday life easier.
Upstairs are three well-proportioned bedrooms. The main room sits at the front of the house and is a generous double. The second bedroom faces the rear with lovely garden views, and benefits from fitted wardrobes running the full length of one wall. The third — currently a dual home office — would work equally well as a nursery, studio, or guest room. The bathroom has been tastefully renovated with deep green tiles, a bath with overhead shower, and a vessel basin on a wooden vanity unit.
The outside space
The plot of this house is a real selling point. To the rear, a neat garden wraps around the kitchen/diner, with a paved patio and lawn area — a manageable outdoor space that gets good use. A side courtyard, which leads to a gate opening onto the driveway, adds further room for sitting out or for storage. At the front, a generous gravel garden sits next to the driveway comfortably accommodating two to three cars, which is genuinely unusual for this part of the city.
Living in Whitehall
Embassy Road sits in a quiet residential pocket between St George, Whitehall and Speedwell. This area in East Bristol has become increasingly popular due to its interconnectivity, great schools, green spaces & a growing number of independent businesses. Whitehall is a desirable area for families due to the popular Whitehall Primary school. Whitehall Road has great pubs including the The Red Lion (which often hosts music nights) and the Wackum Inn. Church Road is a five-minute walk from Embassy Road and is home to a number of popular shops & cafes such as The Bristol Loaf/Native Vine, Southville Deli, The Small City Bookshop & Prior, restaurants such as The Lock Up & The Red Church and many well-loved pubs including the Dark Horse & the Old Stillage. St Marks Road in Easton is only a short walk away and also has a range of well-regarded shops & cafes such as No.12, Bristol Sweet Mart and the Garden of Easton with Matter Wholefoods & La Cubana a bit further on. The proximity of the large, Victorian St George's Park is a huge benefit to local residents and offers a great retreat from city life on a summer's day, with its lake, café, library, bowling, tennis, play area and skate park. St George’s Bowls & Social Club has recently re-opened, a community space with a bar, outdoor games, classes, and plans for a Sunday Market & sauna. The sportier of the local residents can take advantage of the Whitehall Athletics Arena through Bristol and West AC who are based there. For those needing access away from Bristol, the property is very close to the Bristol to Bath Railway Path and just a short drive from Junction 2 of the M32, which in turn leads to the M4 and M5. Bristol Temple Meads train station is also just a short journey by car, bike or bus from the local Lawrence Hill Station. Regular buses serve both Whitehall Road and Church Road.
