The home:

A three-bedroom, double bay fronted Victorian terrace ideally suited to modern living.

The property has been modernised in recent years, including a full re-wire and re-plaster. The front windows have been fitted with soundproof acoustic glass, and Cat6 cabling has been installed in the bedrooms and reception rooms, alongside a fibre connection and provision for ceiling-mounted WiFi access points.

You enter the property via an enclosed porch, with a stained glass door opening into the entrance hallway. To the right is a bay-fronted lounge and separate dining room, both featuring period cornicing. At the end of the hallway is a recently fitted Howdens kitchen (18 months old) with induction hob and quality fittings. There is also a separate utility space with plumbing for appliances and the potential to reinstate a second toilet. To the rear of the property you’ll find a modern Grohe/Hansgrohe three-piece bathroom suite (12 months old) with Amtico flooring.

Upstairs, there are three bedrooms: two doubles to the front and a generous single at the rear, with wool carpeting to the stairs and bedrooms. The house benefits from a fully boarded and insulated loft with power and lighting as well as a positive input ventilation system that removes NOx to improve air quality.


The Outside

There is space to park a car in the garden, and legal right of access to the private rear lane where the current owner parks their car. For electric car charging, cables for 2 cars have been run from the consumer unit to the rear exterior of the house (but not connected) minimising disruption during future installation of high capacity charging.

The fencing is cedar by Jacksons Fencing. The garage door is supported by a hardwood iroko frame and has 2 additional security locks. The garden was previously used as a carport. There is also a ground anchor for a motorcycle underneath the dining room window, and 2 electrical sockets and an outdoor tap outside the bathroom.

Living in Southville

Raleigh Road is a residential street in Southville. The house is very close to Sonny Stores, and lies close to North Street, a hub for local independents, restaurants, and shops, including Michelin recommended COR and OTHER, coffee shops Sweven and Burra, and The Tobacco Factory - a café, bar, and theatre that hosts a bustling Sunday market. There are many baby and toddler groups and activities for young families as well as a choice of primary schools within walking distance.

Several parks surround Raleigh Road, with Greville Smyth Park just around the corner and the smaller South Street Park a 15 minute walk away. Just beyond Greville Smyth (a further 20 minutes) is the sprawling Ashton Court Estate - home to the annual Bristol Balloon Fiesta and 850 acres of wood and grassland.

A short stroll across Gaol Ferry Bridge (15 minutes) will take you to Wapping Wharf - a vibrant foodie destination set on the edge of Bristol’s historic harbourside. The city centre is a further 15 mins on foot. Trains from Temple Meads are 30 mins on foot or 15 minutes by bike, and Bedminster Station 20 minutes on foot.
