Elton Road, Bishopston

"We love the morning light in the kitchen through the bay windows and it is the perfect spot year round to enjoy a coffee. The space we have upstairs is fantastic and the kids use the kitchen, hallway and living room as a running track! The garden is a mini-oasis on a Sunday morning in the summer. All you can hear is bird song and it has a great mix of sun and shade throughout the day. The Elton road community and finally, the proximity of the Gloucester road shops, cafes and restaurants!"

The home

A chic and stylishly finished three double bedroom maisonette with a beautiful private garden. This late Victorian property has been meticulously and lovingly restored and improved to an exceptional standard by the current owners with unswerving attention to detail, perfect styling and a real understanding of both the properties period and the vibe of Bishopston itself. Features so beloved of the era, including stripped floors, large bay windows with pretty stained glass insets, intricate cornicing and high ceilings are found throughout. The accommodation has a real degree of flexibility and would be perfect for a wide spectrum of buyers, from a couple or young family, people that intend to share or even people who would like to downsize from a larger property in North Bristol. A super home with a welcoming and peaceful vibe.

Outside

A sizeable and incredibly private garden with a small stream running along its flank. Big enough to enjoy but easily maintained with raised beds, a flagstone patio and multitude of storage options.

Living in Bishopston

Elton Road is an attractive residential street of Victorian homes in Bishopston, running between Cranbrook Road and Gloucester Road, which is world famous for its wide array of independent shops, cafés and pubs, including popular stops such as the Gallimaufry, Coffee Lab and games café Chance & Counters. A number of green spaces are nearby such as St Andrews Park, and slightly further afield, Horfield Common. In a westerly direction, residents can easily reach Westbury Park, Redland and Henleaze (home to Scott Cinemas and great pubs like Cambridge Arms and Westbury Park Tavern), whilst also providing access to The Downs.

For those looking to commute into work, buses run regularly along Gloucester Road and offer easy access to the City Centre and all major employment areas such as Temple Quay and Temple Meads (where trains run regularly into London). Likewise, going north leads directly to Filton (where large employers such as Airbus, Aviva, and the Ministry of Defence have their offices), and Bristol Parkway Train Station, the second largest in Bristol. Finally, the property sits within the catchment of some of the most highly sought after schools in Bristol, such as Bishop Road Primary and Redland Green Secondary.
