Leighton Road, Southville

"We’ve absolutely loved our time here on Leighton Road, Southville. We moved in, excited to turn the house into a home and the huge community feel on the street immediately helped with that- neighbours offering up tools and help and even carrying in our sofa! I have always loved this area of Bristol and after living here, I always will- there's always something to do, be it a picnic in the park, 5 minute drive to Leigh Woods for a long Sunday walk, lots of lovely pubs and some amazing restaurants and bars along North Street. Close enough in to the city that everything is easily accessible but far enough away that you get a real sense of community and peacefulness."

Leighton Road is a desirable and attractive residential road in Southville, one of the most sought after neighbourhoods in South Bristol. Close by there are two footbridges across the river to reach the Harbourside area of the city and further onto Wapping Wharf, an area which has fast become one of Bristol’s most iconic and desirable settings for living, eating and socialising. The area around Gaol Ferry Steps is now home to several stylish homes, trendy bars and boutique shops within both Cargo One and Cargo Two, which came as two phases of retail and restaurant space, largely occupied for local independent businesses. Southville itself has long been one of the most popular parts of Bristol to live in. North Street is very nearby and is home to a number of bars and eateries such as The Tobacco factory, the popular Souk Kitchen, Cor as well as highly regarded cafes such as Sweven and Marks Bread. Crossing the river from Southville, you are just minutes from all Bristol City Centre has to offer. For those who work in the city, the commute by foot or bike is short and painless, whilst the journey home after an evening in a city is also straightforward and advantageous on foot rather than negotiating city centre traffic. For young families, this house on Leighton Road is within easy reach of two of South Bristol’s most sought after Primary Schools: Ashton Gate (OFSTED rated Outstanding) and Southville Primary (OFSTED rated Good).
