2 bed flat for sale

Zetland Road, Redland BS6

"Morning coffee as the sun comes pouring through the big bay window onto the dining table, even better during the Balloon Fiesta when they drift over us... Having friends round for dinner in the garden, with fairy lights through the trees. We once even hosted a little folk music concert down there, with the blackbirds singing along! This flat has been the backdrop to a big chapter of our lives, my husband moved in a bachelor and we leave as a married couple. It’s going to be hard to say goodbye."

The Home

Occupying the top floor of an attractive period building within the sought-after Cotham and Redland Conservation Area, this beautifully presented two-bedroom apartment offers a wonderful combination of character, natural light and a peaceful sense of privacy. Set within one of Bristol's most vibrant and well-connected neighbourhoods, the elevated position makes the home feel wonderfully removed from the bustle of the city.

At the heart of the apartment is a bright and welcoming sitting and dining room, where impressive ceiling heights and a large south-facing bay window create a wonderfully light and airy space throughout the day. The bay windows were replaced with double glazing three years ago, while the room was redecorated last year, leaving a fresh and inviting setting for both relaxing and entertaining. A separate kitchen sits neatly alongside, providing practical separation while remaining connected to the main living space.

The principal bedroom is a generous double with its own en-suite shower room, while the second bedroom is currently arranged as a home office and occasional guest room, offering excellent flexibility. A further family bathroom means the apartment benefits from two WCs, a particularly useful feature for a home of this size. Underfloor insulation has also been added, helping to reduce noise transfer from the apartment below and contributing to the wonderfully calm atmosphere. The flat roof was comprehensively reworked in 2019, providing further peace of mind.

Outside

One of the property's real highlights is access to the beautifully established communal gardens to both the front and rear of the building. Mature planting and leafy borders create a rare sense of calm in such a central location, while the rear garden has an almost secret-garden quality.

Fruit trees including mulberry, apple, pear and plum add colour and character throughout the seasons, creating a beautiful setting for a morning coffee, relaxed summer lunches or simply escaping outdoors for a little peace and quiet.

Combining the tranquillity of a top-floor position with generous communal gardens and an exceptional Cotham and Redland location, this is a home that offers the best of Bristol living-connected, characterful and wonderfully calm.
