Grove Park Terrace, Fishponds

"I love the location, it's close to the Frome Valley, and within minutes you can be away from all the city sounds and immersed in nature by the river. The street has a lovely community vibe, and a street whatsapp group. I used to have a very productive veg patch on the side plot of the house."

The House
This lovely semi-detached property sits within a generous wrap-around garden, with the main entrance positioned on the left-hand side. You enter through a small porch into the hallway, with stairs straight ahead. To the left is the first reception room – a spacious, light-filled room featuring a fireplace and large windows overlooking the side garden. This room leads through to the extended kitchen, which has bi-fold doors opening directly onto the rear garden, creating a wonderful indoor-outdoor flow.

To the right of the hallway is a second reception room with a charming bay window, perfect for use as a living room or additional living space.

Upstairs, there’s a large bedroom at the front of the house, a WC, and two further well-presented bedrooms. The home has been well cared for and tastefully decorated throughout.

The Outside Space

Living in Fishponds
This home is situated on Grove Park Terrace, at the heart of the hugely popular Thingwall Park neighbourhood of Fishponds, on the edge of expansive green space surrounding the Frome Valley. The open feel to the area is rarely found in such a relatively central city location with an abundance of greenery, trees and wildlife on the doorstep for residents of this area. The area has a strong sense of community with a wealth of local events and groups to join. Eastville Park is home to a range of facilities including tennis courts and a bowls green as well as indoor community space. Just beyond Eastville Park, a short walk away is also Greenbank, home to the popular Greenbank Cemetery, great for exploring, but also home to some brilliant independent shops and cafes like Este’s and Matter Wholefoods. Fishponds has seen several cafés established nearby, becoming very popular, such as Mi Cafe Su, The Crafty Egg and FED. Snuffy Jacks is a great local micro-pub on Fishponds Road high street whilst Irish pub The Star, a five-minute walk from the property, is a well-regarded historic venue, home to live music and the accolade of ‘best pint of Guinness in Bristol’. For commuters, Fishponds is very convenient with ease of access to the M32 and M4 motorways, as well as being a short cycle, drive or bus journey into the city centre or to large areas of employment across North Bristol. The area benefits from several tarmacked cycle paths which provide traffic free routes into the City Centre, or out towards the suburbs, Keynsham and Bath.
