Allington Road, Southville, BS3

On the borders of Southville and Bristol's Historic Harbourside - a substantial Victorian House offered at a reasonable price.

Circa 1650 sq.ft with 3 bedrooms, family bathroom, vast kitchen dining room, sunny sitting room with open fire and bay window and a large lower ground floor hobby room with adjoining scullery & W/C. Outside there is a town garden with pergola, grape vine and terracotta tiled patio.

With ample space, generous rooms and character detail this is an enticing prospect to enhance and personalise in the fullness of time - a new kitchen and furnishing would be transformational.

Lots of retained character detail with exposed wooden floors, high ceilings, cornicing, ceiling rose all complimented by a muted and tasteful colour palate.

Close to Southville Primary School (rated good - circa 450m to the allocation point) and Ashton Gate Primary (rated outstanding circa - 850m) and in the Area of First Priority for Ashton Park Secondary - also rated good by Ofsted.

It's difficult not to get excited by the location - the house is set on a peaceful side street (with residents' parking Monday to Saturday 9 - 5) yet merely 400 metres to Wapping Wharf / Cargo with a range of highly regarded eateries, cafes and bars and less than a 1km to the flourishing North Street.

So much on offer and so much within walking distance - when deciding where to eat, you're a bit spoiled for choice with 7 restaurants in the Michelin Guide within a 20 minute walk.

Offering all the trappings of the waterfront - evening walks around the Harbourside, smart bars and proper Bristol pubs, the culture of Watershed, Old Vic, Arnolfini and Spike Island and walks around Bristol's Old Town and St Nick's market with some rather enticing street food.

In the other direction is the buoyant and lively North Street with a further range of restaurants, cafes, a number of pubs and the Tabacco Factory - a real hub with bar, food, theatre, comedy nights and the popular weekly Sunday market.

Alternatively wander over to Ashton Gate to watch City or the Bears or enjoy the City Parks of Victoria Park and Greville Smith Park or a bit further to the green expanses of Ashton Court and Leigh Woods.

There are good transport links with Bristol Temple Meads about a mile away and straightforward access to M5 and Bristol Airport.
