Islington Road, Southville

"Our daughter was born only a few days after we moved in to Islington Road so this home has been a special place where we became a family. We took an unloved HMO and have made it a family home. The kitchen of the heart of our home - whether it's cooking for friends or having a kitchen disco it has been a place of much love and laughter. We are fortunate that the street is full of families and our next door neighbour bakes the best sourdough bread which he often shares with us!"

This home is located on Islington Road 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 Cor, the popular Souk Kitchen, Kask as well as highly regarded cafes such as Burra 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 restaurant Paco Tapas. Beyond these is Bristol’s scenic harbourside with its boat trips and water-facing bars and restaurants.
