Somerset Terrace, Windmill HIll

" Having this much outdoor space in Bristol feels special. A Summer afternoon might mean a walk home through the park, and then the back doors are open and the BBQ’s on. Weekends are usually slow starts, coffee in the garden and plans that drift between North Street, perhaps tennis in the park and back home again. Then there are the afternoons tending to tomatoes in the greenhouse, or off to the cabin to tinker on small wood working projects. It’s been a dream house for our time in Bristol. "

The house

A two bedroom mid terrace house with a fabulous south facing garden. Downstairs there is a reception room to the front overlooking to the street and to the rear is the dining room, spanning the width of the property and leads to the kitchen which overlooks the garden. Upstairs are two double bedrooms, one with a view of Clifton Suspension Bridge, and the bathroom.

The outside

The size of garden at the property is without doubt one of the key selling points of the house, which the owners have planted with cottage garden flowers and a miniature apple tree. Benefiting from a sunny south easterly aspect, the gardens on this side of the terrace have long been popular additions for local residents. There is plenty of space for anyone looking to grow their own veg or host summer parties.
