2 bedroom terraced house for sale

"Our home is warm and full of light - the street feels like a hidden gem with wonderful neighbours and a real village feel. The south-facing garden is our little wildlife oasis, perfect for eating outside and birdwatching."

The home

This two-bedroom period home is full of character from top to bottom. The ground floor opens with a welcoming entrance hall, leading to a front reception room with intricate cornicing and an open fireplace. Further along is an open dining area with stripped wooden floors, flowing seamlessly into the kitchen/breakfast room where French doors open onto the garden. The layout creates a lovely sense of light and space throughout the ground floor. Upstairs are two bedrooms, both decorated with Farrow & Ball paint, along with a stylish four-piece family bathroom fitted in 2023.

The garden

The south facing garden is a favourite feature of the home, acting as a sun trap throughout the day. Stepping out through the French doors, you’ll find a patio area which is perfect for barbecues or summer evening drinks. Beyond is a lawn leading to a decked area with a shed. The decking could easily be removed if preferred, as there are steps underneath providing rear access.

The location

New Buildings is an attractive cul-de-sac within Fishponds, on the edge of expansive green space surrounding the Frome Valley. The open feel to the area is rarely found in such a relatively central city location with an abundance of greenery, trees and wildlife on the doorstep for residents of this area. The area has a strong sense of community with several local events and groups to join. Eastville Park is home to a range of facilities including tennis courts and a bowls green as well as indoor community space. Just beyond Eastville Park, a short walk away is also Greenbank, home to the popular Greenbank Cemetery, great for exploring, but also home to some brilliant independent shops and cafes like Este’s and Matter Wholefoods. Fishponds has seen several cafés established nearby, becoming very popular, including The Crafty Egg and FED. Snuffy Jacks is a great local micro-pub on the Fishponds Road high street whilst Irish pub The Star, a five-minute walk from the property, is a well-regarded historic venue, home to live music and the accolade of ‘best pint of Guinness in Bristol’. For commuters, Fishponds is very convenient with ease of access to the M32 and M4 motorways, as well as just being a short cycle, drive or bus journey into the city centre or to large areas of employment across North Bristol. The area benefits from several tarmacked cycle paths which provide traffic free routes into the City Centre, or out towards the suburbs, or to Keynsham and Bath.
