"My home on Picton Street has always felt like a remarkably tranquil sanctuary amidst (or just on the outskirts of) the 'hustle and bustle' of Stokes Croft and the City Centre. It's within walking distance of pretty much all the best parts of the city in my opinion, from nightlife and shopping in and around Stokes Croft, the city centre, and Gloucester Road, to some of Bristol's most beautiful parks such as St Andrew's, Narroways Nature Reserve, Purdown, Brandon Hill, or Castle Park."

The home

A classic Montpelier Victorian town house, the former home of Cary Grant, which oozes homeliness with warm and welcoming vibes. The reception floor is a beautiful space with loads of natural light pouring through the South-facing window, ideal for relaxing and/or hosting. Beneath is a large lower ground floor which is split into two rooms, a great space for creatives or those with the need for a dedicated work area, alongside an excellent potential guest bedroom. The principal bedroom is located on the first floor alongside a large bathroom with an opulent feel. Upstairs on the top floor are two further superb double bedrooms with an en-suite bathroom included in the larger. A beautiful home in the heart of Bristol’s most Bohemian ward.

The outside

This gorgeous rear garden is surprisingly tranquil given its proximity to the city, and more spacious than others in the area. A perfect sun trap with a raised deck and a beautiful Jasmine, it’s ideal for social occasions or simply chilling out on warm afternoons.

Living in Montpelier

Picton Street is an iconic street that runs from the Ashley Road junction at the top of Stokes Croft into the heart of Montpelier. Residents benefit from being within immediate reach of the colourful, independent shops that make this part of Bristol so popular, with coffee shops and eateries such as The Bristolian, Bianchis, Wangs, Café Kino and The Crafty Egg all within easy walking distance, whilst local pubs such as The Cadbury, The Old England, and The Star and Garter also come highly recommended, amongst many more.

For commuters, Montpelier is extremely well-placed for a short walk or cycle into Bristol City Centre. Buses run frequently along the A38, and train transport is available across the city and to Bristol Temple Meads via nearby Montpelier train station. Bristol Central Coach Station is only a short walk from the house, with regular coaches around the country, and round-the-clock access to Bristol Airport for those with more international aspirations. For those seeking access to nearby green spaces, the house is just a short walk from St Andrews Park and the Narroways Nature Reserve in St Werburghs, whilst getting out to the countryside via the nearby M32 or Temple Meads train station is also straightforward.
