High Street, Staple Hill

“No. 51 has been the most exceptional home for us over the last 9 years we have lived here. As a young couple, we fell in love with all the original Victorian features: the large light and airy rooms, the high ceilings, the cornices and ceiling roses. Situated on a thriving high street, we have loved the convenience of having all the independent coffee shops, cafes, pubs, restaurants, and useful amenities like a post office and supermarket a stone’s throw away. We started our family here and with three energetic boys, fantastic local parks like Page Park and Oldbury Court have been a Godsend at weekends. They all went to a fantastic nursery a few minutes’ walk away, Red Bus, rated Outstanding by Ofsted twice in a row. We will particularly miss piling into our basement cinema room for family movie night! We are sad to be moving on, only doing so to be closer to our children’s new school, but we hope the new owners are as happy here as we have been.”

Staple Hill is a vibrant and well-connected area in East Bristol, offering the perfect blend of urban convenience and green spaces. Situated along High Street, it has a strong community feel, with an array of independent shops, cafés, and local businesses adding to its character. Page Park, just a short stroll away, is a much-loved green space with beautiful gardens, a community café, tennis courts, and play areas, making it a focal point for local events and outdoor activities.

Upon entering, the hallway leads to a reception room on the right, currently used as a music room, featuring bespoke built-in storage. The front garden, filled with flowers, trees, and bushes, adds a sense of privacy to the front-facing rooms. To the left, the main reception room boasts elegant bespoke bookshelves and flows seamlessly into the kitchen and dining area—a cosy yet spacious spot with room for a large dining table. At the rear, a recently built extension includes a W/C and is currently used as a utility/office space. Downstairs, the family has fully excavated the basement, creating two additional versatile reception rooms.

Upstairs, three bedrooms are accessed via the hallway. The second bedroom, to the right, includes a walk-in wardrobe with a stunning original stained glass window. The recently renovated bathroom has a stylish modern design that remains in keeping with the home’s Victorian character. The main bedroom features bespoke wardrobes with integrated lighting, while the third bedroom, designed as a nursery or child’s room, also benefits from bespoke storage.
The garden is a modest but charming space with rear access.
