Stapleton Road, Easton

"We fell in love with the unique character of the house straight away; it’s so unlike anything else you find in the area, and we love the uneven shapes, lumps and bumps, the exposed beams, lath and plaster walls, stone flags…it’s a house that is full of personality and yet so easy to add your own personal touches. There’s so much useful space, two lofts, a giant bathroom, the cellar, and the extra reception room has been amazing for additional grown-up space. We’ve had some great parties clearing out the rooms and slinging the back doors open, and the kids love exploring the garden and running around playing in the open kitchen and dining room.

The back garden is such a special place for us. Full of mature shrubs, roses, a massive climbing hydrangea and wisteria, all of which flower at different points over the season and create so much interest and colour. The high walls and trees provide so much privacy, with pockets of sunshine highlighting different areas at different times, so you always know exactly where to sit for a cuppa or a beer at the end of the day. It’s a sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of Stapleton Road and you can only really hear a hum from the motorway behind. The front garden sets the house back from the road and the enormous willow tree provides a further screen from traffic noise, and has been home to woodpeckers and jays, which you can spot through the dining room window."

Stapleton Road is positioned between Easton and Bristol City Centre, close to the increasingly popular Old Market quarter of the centre of Bristol. The location is able to perfectly blend the amenities of two popular communities, St Werburgh's and Easton. Local spots include Jeevans or Alwaha, or Wiper and True over the bridge. The street is very well placed for a commute into Bristol City Centre or to Temple Meads on foot or by bike. The Bristol to Bath Cycle Path also begins just a short distance from Stapleton Road. At the same time, its proximity to both the M32 and the A431 to Bath makes it an ideal spot for many who need frequent access out of the city. Easton is by no means, however, a dormitory neighbourhood and offers an abundance of community areas, events and activities and Webb Street is central in this popular area. Nearby, St Marks Road boasts a number of Bristol's finest independent shops and restaurants, such as Bristol Sweet Mart and the Thali Café, whilst Stapleton Road and Old Market High Street also offer a good choice. This is a bustling area, with all Bristol has to offer on the doorstep, making it ideal for young professionals. However, with a choice of several schools in the area and some substantial Victorian homes, this is also a good area for a growing family. The home is also easily accessible to Bristol Temple Meads, sitting in between two stops, allowing convenient travel across the country.

A picturesque double fronted Georgian Home on Stapleton Road in Easton, occupying a large plot and offering an incredible amount of character. Entrance is into a traditional hallway, with the first reception room on your initial right, utilised as a study area, boasting a chimney breast, sash windows and ceiling cornicing. Moving through the floorplan, you find the knocked through kitchen/dining area, with a contemporary cottage vibe, with the exposed brick and wooden beams adding to the charm. Historic limestone flooring runs underfoot, which balance well with the terracotta tiling in the living room, which is only accentuated by the soft but neutral décor. The final room of the ground floor is the living room, with a stunning outlook onto the garden via double patio doors. Upstairs, the style continues, and is mirrored throughout the bedrooms. Three spacious double rooms are offered, along with a smart and immaculately presented bathroom suite. The plot itself, its truly something to behold, beginning with a well-manicured front lawn area and mature trees. Heading to the rear, you are greeted by a wooden decking area, with a stone terrace with table looking upon the immense greenery. A superb variety of flowers, trees and shrubbery surround the luscious green lawn, with a stone wall perimeter perfectly encapsulating the space. The plot faces in north-westerly direction, with the front capturing plenty of sunlight throughout the morning, heading into the rear garden throughout the afternoon and early evening, an idyllic setting to entertain and enjoy alfresco dining.
