Bowden Road, St George

"We’ve lived in Bowden Road for over a decade now, and it’s been a wonderful first home. We have a great sense of community on the street. We also love the area, particularly having the park right at the end of the street – it really feels like an extension of our garden, where you can always get the last of the summer sun, or see fireworks across Bristol at New Year. More locally, we have quick access both to Church Road (particularly for baked goods from the Bristol Loaf and books from Small City Book Shop) and Easton (for the Indian deli at Sweetmart). It is also easy to feel that you are quickly in the countryside by walking to Troopers Hill or the river Avon."

Bowden Road is situated in St George, in the East of the City. One of the city’s most popular parks, St George’s park is a wonderful place including a cafe, a skate park, and a lake. Across the park is Church Road with The Bristol Loaf bakery, The Red Church pub and Poco deli, to name just a few favourites a stone's throw away. A little bit further is the amazing view at Troopers Hill and the River Avon for walks, or Old Market for more shops and cafes. Head out in the other direction across Whitehall Road and you’re at the cycle path in just a few minutes. It’s great for traffic-free walks or bike rides to the harbour. Across the cycle path is Easton with even more pubs, cafes, and the brilliant St Mark’s Road with the delicious Thali restaurant, and Sweetmart for groceries and any spice you can think of. Beyond that is the big green space of Eastville Park and Snuff mills for a tree-lined river walk. There are several well-regarded schools in the area, meaning this is a popular area with families. For commuters, the area is a short journey into Bristol City Centre by bus, bike or car, whilst also being just a short drive from Bath and the motorway networks as well. From this side of the City Centre, Bristol Temple Meads is just a short journey away.

A mid terrace Edwardian house which has a wonderful homely feel throughout. Downstairs there is a reception room to the front of the house with two windows meaning the room gets plenty of light. To the rear of the house is a spacious kitchen/diner with door to the pretty rear garden with patio area and raised beds. Upstairs there are two double bedrooms and the bathroom which has a shower over the bath. There is also potential to extend into the generous loft, like other houses in the street have done.
