Paintworks, Arnos Vale

"I’ve loved living in my Paintworks house, it’s given me an amazing space to have my friends round for dinners and BBQs. The atmosphere here has always been very relaxed, and it’s so nice to have an off-road street outside the front door. I always wanted a warm, modern house, and all the little areas of storage have been so practical, especially with all my sports equipment. For me, its location has been perfect, It’s super easy for me to get into work in town and big Sainsbury’s is only 5 minutes walk away. It feels like I’m getting the benefits of living in central Bristol, without actually living there."

The Paintworks is a fantastic modern development situated just off Bath Road. Within the Paintworks are popular venues such as Bocabar and Coffee Club, as well as an event venue, studio space and gallery of works by the renowned photographer Martin Parr. The Paintworks also thrives from its proximity to several other popular areas of Bristol. Just a short walk up the hill are the popular independent shops, eateries of Totterdown, such as Bank, The Thali Restaurant and the award-winning Farrows Fish and Chips. The area is popular for the character of the houses, the feeling of community and the abundance of local green spaces. From the house, it is a short walk to Perrett’s Park, Arnos Court Park and the larger Victoria Park. Arnos Vale Victorian Cemetery and woodland are also home to Cleverchefs and a programme of events including Pop-up cinema, theatre, tours and classes. All parks nearby are very popular with local residents and combined with the tree lined streets and avenues in the area, give this location a particularly green feel. The area is ideal for commuters, being walking distance to Bristol City Centre, Temple Meads Train Station and the major areas of employment around Temple Quay. There is also a 2km cycle path to Temple Meads, making this a great option for people who regularly commute to London. Residents of this area also benefit from being within reach of the bars and restaurants just a short walk away along the Harbourside and in the City Centre itself. Spark Evans Park is a ten minute cycle away, including shops such as M&S.
