Coronation Road, Southville

"Cooking in the kitchen with our family sat in the dining area or garden with the bi-folds open is the perfect moment for us. Sitting in the garden in the sun with a glass of wine is also a top highlight - it's remarkably quiet and is a real suntrap.”

The home

Stepping into the home, off the hallway, is the front reception room, where the bay window allows for generous seating space and floods the room with natural light, while the log burner creates a wonderfully cosy atmosphere during the winter months. It is the perfect room in which to snuggle up with loved ones in front of the TV.

At the rear of the house is the large open-plan kitchen/living space. The side and rear extension has transformed this room into the heart of the home, providing your own hub for socialising with a layout that flows effortlessly between the various seating areas. The modern amenities include a kitchen island with a wine cooler, quartz worktops, integrated white goods, Velux windows that flood the space with natural light, and bi-folding doors opening onto the garden. The living area is a flexible space that could equally serve as a work-from-home office or a children's playroom; the built-in storage is particularly handy for keeping the room clutter-free.

Heading upstairs, there are two generous bedrooms. The largest sits at the front of the home and benefits from the bay window, whilst the second bedroom can comfortably accommodate a double bed and a desk. A newly renovated family bathroom completes the upper floor, featuring a free-standing bath and a walk-in shower. There is also a convenient downstairs WC beneath the stairs.

Outside space

For Southville, this is a notably large garden when compared with other Victorian terraces in the area. There is rear access — handy for bringing bikes and equipment through — along with a shed at the back for storage. The majority of the garden is laid to lawn and benefits from excellent sunshine throughout the day, owing to its south-facing aspect.

Living in Southville

Coronation Road is situated in Southville, just beside the bridge that leads across the river into Wapping Wharf — an area that has rapidly become one of Bristol's most iconic and desirable destinations for living, dining and socialising. The area around Gaol Ferry Steps is now home to a vibrant collection of bars and boutique shops within both Cargo One and Cargo Two.

Southville itself has long been one of the most popular parts of Bristol to live in, with bustling North Street home to a number of well-loved bars and eateries, including The Tobacco Factory, Souk Kitchen, Cor and The Spotted Cow, as well as highly regarded cafés such as Sweven and Burra. Crossing the river from Southville, you are just minutes from everything Bristol City Centre has to offer. For those who work in the city, the commute on foot or by bike is short and straightforward, whilst the journey home after an evening out is equally simple — and far more agreeable than negotiating city centre traffic.
