"One of our favourite things about living here is taking an evening walk, when the red-brick houses and surrounding greenery are bathed in the golden evening sunlight. There’s a lovely sense of community too, neighbours are friendly and welcoming, and with events taking place throughout the year, there’s always an opportunity to meet people and feel part of the neighbourhood."
The home
Sold with no chain, a smart and well presented end of terrace home, built just under five years ago and offering a particularly generous 1,431 sq ft of accommodation across three floors. Set within the exciting new neighbourhood of Brabazon, the property combines clean, contemporary interiors with excellent energy efficiency, a large east-facing terrace and useful private car port. The ground floor has been designed with modern living in mind, centred around an impressive open-plan kitchen/diner. The kitchen is finished in crisp white cabinetry with integrated appliances, plenty of worktop space and a practical layout that flows naturally into the dining area. Full-height glazing and a large window bring plenty of natural light into the room, while the pale timber-style flooring continues throughout, giving the space a bright and understated feel. A separate utility room and downstairs WC add useful practicality.
Up on the first floor, the living room is an excellent size, stretching to over 25ft in length and providing plenty of flexibility for both relaxing and entertaining. Large windows to the front and side, together with glazed doors opening onto the terrace, make this a naturally bright and comfortable room. The second bedroom is also located on this floor and works equally well as a double bedroom, guest room or home office. The top floor provides two further bedrooms, including a generous principal bedroom with built-in wardrobes and its own contemporary en-suite shower room. The third bedroom is another well-proportioned room, while a modern family bathroom completes the accommodation. Across the three floors, the house has a lovely sense of proportion and feels notably larger than many homes of this type. The property also benefits from an EPC rating of A, reflecting the excellent energy efficiency you would expect from a relatively modern home and offering an important practical advantage for the future. The home is also equipped with an EV charger and solar panels.
The outside space
One of the property's real highlights is the large east-facing terrace, accessed directly from the living room. Extending to approximately 23'7" x 19'8", it provides an excellent outdoor space for morning coffee, summer dining and entertaining, with plenty of room for seating, planting and outdoor furniture. The elevated position also gives the terrace a pleasant outlook across the surrounding development. A useful private car port sits alongside the property, providing sheltered off-street parking and additional storage potential.
Living in Brabazon
Brabazon is developing into one of North Bristol's most distinctive new neighbourhoods, with the emphasis very much on creating somewhere to live, work and enjoy life, rather than simply another residential development. There are already cafés, green spaces, community events and places to socialise on the doorstep, with much more taking shape around them. The recently opened Spitfire Hangar has quickly become a focal point, occupying a restored historic aircraft hangar and providing a community and social hub, with Mokoko Bakery offering coffee, freshly baked pastries, sourdough, sandwiches and cakes. The café also opens onto outdoor space overlooking the developing park.
Green space is another major part of the Brabazon lifestyle. Brabazon Park is being developed as an almost 15-acre public park, with the first section already open and plans including a 2.5-acre lake, landscaped gardens, walking routes, play areas and outdoor facilities. Connectivity is set to be a major advantage too. Bristol Brabazon railway station is due to open in Autumn 2026, providing a direct connection towards Bristol Temple Meads in around 20 minutes, while Metrobus services now run directly through Brabazon.
Looking ahead, the new Aviva Arena will bring a 20,000-capacity entertainment venue to the heart of Brabazon, with the current programme targeting an opening in late 2028. Alongside the arena, further restaurants, retail (Little Waitrose), workspace, leisure facilities and public spaces are planned, meaning the neighbourhood will continue to evolve around its existing residents. Overall, this is a home that really benefits from being part of Brabazon at this particular stage of its development, already established enough to enjoy the cafés, parks and community around it, while having significant new amenities and transport connections still to come.
