Albion Road, Easton

"Living here feels like a country cottage in the city tucked away but still close to Easton’s buzz. The peaceful garden is our favourite part, in spring and summer we have morning coffee outside and watch great tits flying in and out of the bird box in the oak tree. Inside, we’ve loved cooking while looking out over the garden and relaxing by the wood-burner. Favourite local spots: samosas from Jeevan’s, coffee from Radical Roasters, and a pint at The Sugar Loaf."

The Home

Tucked away in one of Easton’s most characterful pockets, this beautifully restored two-bedroom end-of-terrace home is one of the area’s oldest, dating back to around 1830. Seamlessly blending period charm with thoughtful, contemporary design, it offers the rare combination of seclusion, history, and modern comfort, a true urban retreat in the heart of the city. Behind the private gated driveway, the home unfolds with warmth and character. Original features sit effortlessly alongside refined updates, from the double-glazed wooden windows to the working log burner that anchors the living space. Underfloor heating runs throughout both floors, controlled by Nest thermostats, ensuring year-round comfort and efficiency. The kitchen and living areas flow naturally, combining cottage charm with calm, modern simplicity every detail carefully reimagined to complement both the home’s heritage and contemporary living. Upstairs, the principal bedroom feels spacious and serene, with an elevated outlook over the peaceful front garden. The second bedroom is equally tranquil, enjoying views across the rear garden. The family bathroom completes this level, bright and contemporary, with every finish chosen to create a space that feels both functional and soothing.

The Garden

The garden is private, peaceful, and beautifully landscaped, full of texture and life. Mature planting, including a magnificent 100-year-old oak tree, provides a lush green backdrop that evolves with the seasons. A corten steel bed and circular planter bring sculptural interest, while Dutch clay pavers and Siberian larch Venetian fencing add natural warmth. Thoughtful garden lighting extends the use of the space into the evenings, whilst the rear patio area’s east-facing aspect means gentle morning light floods the space, perfect for a quiet coffee to start the day. The cedar-clad garden office provides the ultimate flexible space, fully insulated and fitted with app-controlled underfloor heating, a remote-controlled skylight, integral blinds, and hard-wired internet. Whether used as a dedicated workspace or an occasional guest room, it’s been designed to comfortably fit a double bed, making it as versatile as it is stylish. With a private driveway offering total privacy once the gates are closed.
