Brecknock Road, Knowle

"We have loved living here on Brecknock Road, especially the proximity to the city as well as local green spaces like Arnos Vale and Victoria Park. Our street community is brilliant, from banging saucepans and watching fireworks together at midnight in Perretts Park on NYE to lending each other DIY tools for home and garden improvements. Having Hillcrest school and the local shops on our doorstep is really handy, and we highly recommend Dan and his team at Bank for a high quality evening of food and drink with only a short stagger up the hill back home!"

The position of the house on the impressive Brecknock Road, provides a fantastic setting, just metres from the bowl-shaped Perretts Park and its glorious cityscape views. Brecknock is a quiet road of substantial and attractive period homes. The road is flanked on one end by Perretts Park, at the other there is the rapidly developing Wells Road, home to several popular independent shops and eateries, such as Fox and West Deli, Bank, Acapella and Southside Bar, with its indoor and outdoor seating and serving local craft beers. Knowle is an extremely popular family area, with a brilliant combination of large houses, good schools and a choice of great parks. Hillcrest Primary School is just a short walk away and is very well-regarded. Brecknock Road is also close to Arnos Vale Cemetery, Perretts Park and Victoria Park, all offering a great escape from the city and open green spaces. For commuters, the area is very well placed, with Temple Meads and several major employers around Temple Quay around fifteen minutes away on foot, even closer by bike or Voi. Bristol’s scenic harbourside and city centre are also within walking distance, along with the independent shops, bars and cafes of North Street in Bedminster, whilst also being a short drive from the beautiful Mendips and Chew Valley to the south.

Measuring in excess of 1800 square feet and arranged over three stories, this is a fantastic four bedroom family home on Brecknock Road. Downstairs is a spacious reception room to the front with log burner, wooden flooring and plenty of original features. The dining room is in the middle of the house and has windows over looking the garden and a period fireplace. The kitchen at the rear has been extended to make a great kitchen/diner with bi-fold doors onto the garden and plenty of windows making this room lovely and light. There is also a downstairs WC under the stairs. On the first floor are three bedrooms and the family bathroom and up again into the loft which was created at the time the house was built with a large bedroom and lots of storage. The south facing rear garden gets plenty of sun and has a patio for al fresco dining and a lawn.
