Green Oak Crescent, Greenbank

We’ve always felt lucky to have this perfect spot in BS5. We look out onto beautiful trees and woodpeckers and it's so peaceful being on a cul-de-sac. The cycle path behind us is perfect for getting to Bristol and Temple Meads one way and into countryside the other. The house itself is a beautiful blend of old and new - character from the oak construction but modern, efficient and spacious. Best of all is the community - the kids play together and there's always a friendly face on the street

The ground floor is centred around an impressive open-plan living space, extending the full depth of the house and providing distinct areas for relaxing, dining and cooking. Large glazed doors at the rear draw in plenty of natural light and create a strong connection with the small but well-presented courtyard garden. A welcoming entrance hall and a convenient ground floor WC complete this level.

There are very large custom built-in wardrobes and eaves storage providing loads of storage space. The windows offer great views over the cemetery. The overall layout provides excellent flexibility for growing families or those needing dedicated work-from-home space.

Energy efficient EPC rated B. The property benefits from an energy-efficient, low-carbon heating system. Heat is generated using solar panels and a shared heat pump system, providing underfloor heating and pre-heated hot water.

The property also has a designated parking space in the private car park.

Living in Greenbank

Located next to Greenbank Cemetery this quiet residential street is shielded from any through-traffic due to the position of Rose Green, Greenbank Cemetery and the Bristol to Bath Railway Path, which surrounds the area. Residents of this area are extremely complimentary about the neighbourhood and local community. The area benefits from its proximity to Bristol City Centre, a local train station, and the M32, making it very accessible to commuters. However, it is the amenities on the doorstep which have enhanced the popularity of the area. The independent shops and cafés of St Marks Road are a short walk away, with popular venues such as The Greenbank Pub, Matter Wholefoods, and Este Kitchen, closer still. Families occupy many of the houses in this area, with many more still looking to move to the area due to the nearby Whitehall and May Park Primary Schools.
