Newbridge Road, St Anne's

"Simply put, we love it here and have thoroughly enjoyed turning it into our home. The community which surrounds the house is wonderful and we have felt very welcomed, both in the local pub and outside of it. The garden is a lovely suntrap and we have spent many hours both with friends enjoying a BBQ and soaking in its peaceful wildlife-friendly surroundings. It’s been an excellent base for everything Bristol has to offer, quiet when you want quiet and well connected when the city comes calling."

Newbridge Road is in the heart of St Annes, a popular area with green open spaces, woodland walks and access to the river - all within a stones’ throw of the city. It is ideally situated a short walk from Sandy Park high street as well as Church Road in St George, with amenities including Sandy Park Deli, Greengrocers, bakeries, cafes and many other shops and restaurants. It has the wonderful Nightingale Valley, St Annes woods, and St Annes park right across the road, perfect for walks. One of Bristol’s top breweries and taprooms, Lost and Grounded, is located at the bottom of the road, while the excellent local, the Langton, is just around the corner. The area benefits from easy access to the river, whether walking to Eastwood Farm and Beeses, towards Keynsham via riverside pubs, or for those looking for more active pastimes like rowing or river swimming. Newbridge Road is a perfect home for those seeking a little more green space, but with easy access to the city - a regular, direct bus will get you to Old Market in a few minutes, and will take you into the centre and Clifton. It’s also an ideal spot for commuters - whether walking or cycling towards Temple Meads, or using easy road access to Wells Road or Bath Road, or to the M32 in a few minutes. The popular St Anne’s Primary School is also close by, as well as local doctor’s surgery, gym and even Padel courts. Finally, St Annes is regularly on the path of Bristol’s balloons, providing a classic Bristol sight throughout the year, culminating in the Balloon Fiesta’s mass launches often flying directly overhead.
