2 bed terraced house for sale

Hill Avenue, Victoria Park BS3

“We’ve loved living in this house. Being right by the park means we get the best of both worlds – we’re really close to the city centre, train station and airport, but when we look out of the bay windows we see greenery and the changing seasons. The park has been such a big part of our time here. We held our daughter’s first birthday there, and it’s where she learnt to ride her scooter and bike – memories we’ll always treasure.”

The home

A wonderful mid terrace house directly opposite the park which has been refurbished and extended to a beautiful standard throughout by the current owners. Downstairs is a living room to the front with log burner, stripped wood floors and bay window overlooking Victoria Park. Through the house is a second reception/playroom which is open plan to the gorgeous kitchen/diner which has been extended to the side. This room has herringbone flooring throughout, a kitchen island, sky lights and bifold doors to the rear garden.
There is also a downstairs loo. Upstairs are two double bedrooms, the master bedroom which spans the width of the house enjoys views across the park, the perfect spot for a morning coffee. The bathroom has been beautifully renovated and has a free standing bath, double sink and separate shower.

The outside

The rear garden has been decked and is not overlooked by the neighbours. It also has side access, which is perfect for bikes.

Living in Victoria Park

Hill Avenue is one of the most popular and distinctive streets in South Bristol and faces directly onto Victoria Park. The area has a wonderful feeling of community, most evident on sunny days with the park bustling with neighbours and visitors alike. The area is central to many community events such as ‘Art on the Hill’, which happens one a year. This is also an area ideal for commuters both within Bristol and to the cities beyond through the trains at nearby Temple Meads or the local Bedminster station, just the other side of the park.

The local primary school, Victoria Park, is well thought of locally and along with St Mary Redcliffe (in the park), has enhanced the appeal of this area and nearby Windmill Hill for young families. Within easy walking distance are gastro-pubs such as the Victoria Park and Star and Dove, brilliant community owned pubs such as The Rising Sun, cafes such as the Sundial Kitchen, fruit and vegetable sellers such as The Banana Boat, bakeries and grocers such as Bristol Loaf and Hugo’s, and many other shops and restaurants.

Only a short bike-ride away are the music venues, theatres, cocktail bars, and other amenities of North Street in Southville, Wapping Wharf, and the City Centre. Yet this location is quiet and peaceful. For those looking for green space, there are few, if any, better places in Bristol. Victoria Park itself offers approximately 50 acres of large open space with fantastic views of the city. There is also a child’s play area, caf? And a marked running route for joggers. Perrett’s Park, with its beautiful views, is only just up the hill towards Knowle, whilst Arnos Vale Cemetery offers winding paths and interesting stories, in an area where it’s easy to feel distant from the city buzz.
