Withleigh Road, Knowle

"When we moved to this house seven years ago very little had been done to it in years. We wanted to keep some of the houses original style but we also wanted to modernise and bring some sculptural features into it. We combined the three rooms in the back of the house and brought in a sculpture/builder to transform the space into a social area with a difference and had the island constructed onsite. With the large windows and two sets of doors the space is calm and bright and excellent for entertaining"

Withleigh Road is in a popular pocket of houses between Wells Road and Bath Road. One of the real benefits of this house is the amount and variety of parks and green spaces within a short distance. Redcatch Park and Community Garden, Perretts Park and Arnos Vale Cemetery, with its popular Atrium Café, all within 10 minutes walk from the house. The expansive Victoria Park and Callington Road Nature Reserve are also nearby, providing brilliant open spaces for the summer or for walking the dog all year round. Hillcreast Primary and Knowle Park Primary are both well regarded in the area and currently in catchment. The area is easily commutable from Bristol City Centre, approximately 30 minutes walk, a short cycle or bus journey down Wells Road. The area also has lots of amenities on the doorstep with Wells Road recently becoming home to more and more popular bars, cafes and restaurants. The Knowle Pub is within easy reach and provides the ideal locals pub for food and drink and is a great spot for a Sunday lunch or a beer in the garden.
