Park Avenue, Victoria Park

“As a family we have loved living on Park Avenue. Spending evenings and weekends in the park or the pub with neighbours and friends, the community spirit here is what makes living on Park Avenue so special.”

The home

A wonderful extended family home with direct front views over Victoria Park. The house has been renovated by its current owners and also includes off street parking for two cars and a large outhouse/shed at the rear of the property. Downstairs there is a living room to the front with bay window overlooking the park and inbuilt alcove storage. The kitchen is in the middle of the house and has a large breakfast bar and glass doors onto the garden, there is also plenty of space for a dining table as well as a play area or further seating area. To the rear of the house is a utility room/bathroom. Upstairs are four bedrooms and two further bathrooms

The outside

The sunny rear garden has an astro turf lawn and lots of space for outside dining. The house also has the benefit of off street parking for two cars as well as a large shed which can be accessed via a rear lane.

Living in Victoria Park

The area has a wonderful feeling of community, most evident on sunny days with the park bustling with neighbours and visitors alike. The area is central to many community events such as ‘Art on the Hill’, which happens one a year. This is also an area ideal for commuters both within Bristol and to the cities beyond through the trains at nearby Temple Meads or the local Bedminster station, just the other side of the park.

The local primary school, Victoria Park, is well thought of locally and along with St Mary Redcliffe (in the park), has enhanced the appeal of this area and nearby Windmill Hill for young families. Within easy walking distance are gastro-pubs such as the Victoria Park and Star and Dove, brilliant community owned pubs such as The Rising Sun, cafes such as the Sundial Kitchen, fruit and vegetable sellers such as The Banana Boat, bakeries and grocers such as Bristol Loaf and Hugo’s, and many other shops and restaurants.

Only a short bike-ride away are the music venues, theatres, cocktail bars, and other amenities of North Street in Southville, Wapping Wharf, and the City Centre. Yet this location is quiet and peaceful. For those looking for green space, there are few, if any, better places in Bristol. Victoria Park itself offers approximately 50 acres of large open space with fantastic views of the city. There is also a child’s play area, caf? and a marked running route for joggers. Perrett’s Park, with its beautiful views, is only just up the hill towards Knowle, whilst Arnos Vale Cemetery offers winding paths and interesting stories, in an area where it’s easy to feel distant from the city buzz.
