Alpha Road, Southville

“I have lived in Alpha Road for nearly 34 years in which time I have undertaken sympathetic renovations in keeping with the age of the property. I have fully modernised the main bathroom and most recently redesigned the kitchen and dining room. The kitchen is my favourite part of the house. A large and light space ideal for sociable dining with bi-fold doors leading out to the surprise and rare feature in Southville, a large and open south facing garden. I will miss everything I have done to this home, the comfort and convenience, my lovely neighbours, and the sense of community we have in ‘Alphaville’.”

Alpha Road is a quiet residential street situated in the heart of Southville, very close to the bridge across the River Avon to the Wapping Wharf area which is bursting with independent restaurants and cafes from its cargo containers. North Street in Southville is very nearby and is home a number of popular bars and eateries such as The Malago, the popular Souk Kitchen, Kask as well as highly regarded cafes such as Sweven and Albatross Cafe. Further still is a short walk to Bristol City Centre and for those who work in the city, the commute by foot or bike is short and painless, whilst the journey home after an evening in a city is also straightforward and advantageous on foot rather than negotiating city centre traffic. Over the river to the west is the high-end development ‘The General’ with Michelin star restaurants Paco Tapas. Beyond these is Bristol’s scenic harbourside with its boat trips and water-facing bars and restaurants.
