Bayham Road, Knowle

" Every time I arrive home I still smile because I’ve used its size and wider-than-usual layout to put together a wonderful combination of areas that enable me to live a wonderful life every day, week, and month of the year. I’ve had memorable nights hosting friends & family in the fantastic open plan kitchen dining area, spent many cosy winter evenings enjoying log fires in the living room and spilt the same room onto the patio area during warmer months to soak up many stunning sunsets. "

The home

A unique detached five bedroom family home directly opposite Perrett’s Park. Downstairs there is an open plan kitchen/dining room with picture window overlooking the park which leads to a large reception room with log burner and bifold doors onto the garden. There is also a family room currently used as a gym, a large garage and a downstairs loo. Upstairs are five bedrooms (one with an en-suite) and two further bathrooms. The landing also has a space for a study area with park views.

The outside

There is a large patio at the front of the property which gets sun all afternoon where you can enjoy views over the park and enjoy the wonderful sunsets and the garden wraps around the property with space at the back for storage. There is also a driveway for two cars.


Living in Knowle

The house is positioned on the impressive Bayham Road amongst a beautiful row of substantial family homes. The house sits on the edge of, and overlooking, one of Bristol’s favourite parks, Perrett Park, which was donated to the city by councillor C H Perrett. The park offers one of the best vantage points of the City of Bristol, a beautiful spot to watch the balloons take off from Ashton Court and often float overhead. The house is situated just a short walk along the picturesque, tree-lined Crowndale Road, from the rapidly developing Wells Road, home to several popular independent shops and eateries. The house is just minutes from the popular Fox and West Deli, Acapella and Smokebox, with its indoor and outdoor seating and serving local craft beers.

Park Bakery, an ever-popular haunt for morning bread and breakfast goods, is just at the bottom of Sylvia Avenue through the park, whilst in the other direction, Redcatch Park offers a fantastic community garden where you can enjoy a coffee, pizza or small bite to eat amongst a brilliantly run space for local residents. The park also offers a play area, tennis courts and football pitches and provides a real hub for this popular area.

For commuters, the area is very well placed, with Temple Meads and the several major employers around Temple Quay just around fifteen minutes away on foot. Bristol’s scenic harbourside, Wapping Wharf and city centre are also within walking distance, along with the independent shops, bars and cafes of North Street in Bedminster.
