Elmcroft Crescent, Horfield

"Our favourite thing about our home is how cosy it feels to live here, in every sense of the word. Tucked away in a quiet, family neighbourhood, there is such a lovely sense of community here. In our sheltered garden, surrounded by the trees and the families of birds that take residence with us, we often forget that we're in the heart of a city."

The home

A beautifully presented one bedroom flat with off-street parking, generous garden, and ample storage space. The elevated position above the valley, large patio doors, and open plan living area provide the flat with natural light throughout the day. The colour palate and vibe are super on trend and stylish, especially the recently renovated bathroom. The bedroom is an excellent size with built in wardrobe and storage spaces. The property is a great social space that is perfect for hosting or just relaxing indoors or out. This is a wonderful flat for first time buyers, couples, or anyone looking for more outdoor space while still being within easy reach of the city centre.

The outside

To the rear of the flat there is a raised balcony which benefits from stunning views across Bishopston and glorious sunsets. The garden wraps around the property and has been landscaped with a good-sized patio area, lawn, flower beds, vegetable patch, and large storage / bike shed. There is also a sauna installed off the patio, which comes with a guarantee. Accessed from the balcony and through the garden, there are two outbuildings and a cellar that offers more great storage space.

Living on Elmcroft Crescent

This property sits on the border of Purdown, close to the Narroways / Boiling Wells Lane area, and only a 5-minute walk to St Werburghs and Ashley Down. The property is situated in an ideal position between Ashley Down Allotments and Sir Johns Lane Allotments, adding further to the really green feel of the area. The neighbourhood also benefits from its proximity to Gloucester Road, and is in easy reach of many popular independent shops, pubs and cafés. Local food and drink choices within walking distance include Boston Tea Party, Fierce and Noble and Wiper and True taprooms, The Lazy Dog, and a number of choices available on Gloucester Road.
For sports fans, both The Memorial Stadium and The County Cricket Ground are nearby, alongside some of Bristol’s most popular sports facilities: Lockleaze Sports Centre, Horfield Leisure Centre, Filton College and U.W.E. The area benefits hugely from its proximity to major areas of employment, such as Southmead Hospital, MoD, Airbus, and Rolls-Royce.

This is a convenient residence for anyone who requires regular access to these places or frequent transport into the city. Bristol City Centre is only a 10-minute drive via the M32, a 3 mile walk via St Werburghs, or is easily accessible via a bus route from the end of the crescent or regular trains from Ashley Down Train Station.
