Everest Road, Fishponds

'Everest Road is a community-oriented neighbourhood, with a rich array of nature, community, and cultural elements on the doorstep. Although only ten minutes from the city centre, it is surrounded by an oasis of parkland, allotments, and orchards, where you can explore woodland and riverside trails, and spot a kingfisher, or an otter, on the Frome.

Neighbours help each other out with anything from lost pets to last minute baking supplies. With Friends of Eastville Park and All Saints Church close by, there are opportunities to volunteer, join the park choir, cinema club, or Park Run. The cafes and pubs host comedy, folk music, clothes swap, pub quiz, language exchange, and there is even an art gallery in a bus. Families with young children will enjoy paddling in the brook and joining Playing Out sessions on the street. Forest school and kindergarten options are within walking distance, as well as highly regarded primary and secondary schools, scout groups, and dance school.

Everest Road enables a vibrant and fulfilling lifestyle for all who call it home.'

This home is situated on Everest Road at the heart of the hugely popular Thingwall Park neighbourhood of 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, such as Mi Cafe Su, 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.

Situated on a brilliant plot, with a large south facing garden, this home is one which offers an abundance of space and a rarely found feeling of openness. The house itself has been extensively redeveloped by the current owners with a particular eye towards using sustainable building material and energy efficiency. The house is enveloped in external wall insulation with Norrsken and Allan Brothers aluminium timber clad windows installed throughout. These windows offer a particularly slim profile to the edges, and large panes to allow an abundance of light into the house. To the ground floor there is Geocell underfloor insulation from Mike Wye, plumbed in underfloor heating which is then topped with Karndean flooring.

The open plan space is ideal for family living and runs out onto the expansive level garden to the back. The kitchen itself, along with alcove storage, is custom made with birch ply and Formica worktop. High quality appliances have also been fitted, with Neff ovens and Siemens dishwasher and induction hob.

To the first floor, similar consideration has been given to the insulation with, Natural sheepswool (Thermafleece Cosywool) insulation installed under the timber subfloor, and cork flooring (Corka Amizade) in all bedrooms and the landing. The house offers a choice of several spacious bedrooms and also has a family bathroom on the first floor, with a shower room on the second.
Lots of the appeal of this house lies in the rarely found outside space. The house benefits from a long back garden, divided into several areas for different purposes, but with lots of potential to grow your own fruit and veg, as well as areas to relax or play. The garden is home to a timber summer-house that currently serves as an office. There is also a detached single garage with power and lighting.
