Glendare Street, Redfield

"We love the period features, the open flow through downstairs, our south facing garden and the light that comes into the kitchen all day!"

The house

This two-bedroom Victorian terrace on Glendare Street has been well looked after and thoughtfully updated, while keeping hold of what makes it special. The living room sets the tone from the off — original stained glass panels in the internal doors, an ornate cast iron fireplace, a bay window, and period cornicing and ceiling rose all in good shape. Through the stained glass doors, the dining room has the same easy charm, with parquet flooring and generous ceiling height. At the back, the kitchen has been refreshed with navy shaker units, wood worktops, and subway tiling, and it flows naturally into the dining room (or games room)— making the rear of the house feel sociable and connected. Both bedrooms upstairs are comfortable doubles, with the second currently used as a home office and featuring characterful half-height panelling. The bathroom has been tastefully renovated with a walk-in rainfall shower, double basin vanity, patterned floor tiles, and a deep green feature wall.

The outside space

The south-facing garden is a lovely sun trap, enclosed by tall timber fencing with festoon lighting already in place — ready for summer evenings. It has been laid mostly to lawn with a decked area directly off the kitchen, ideal for outdoor dining. There is also a storage shed at the far end.

Living in Redfield

Glendare Street is located in the heart of Redfield, bordering Barton Hill and St George. The area has become hugely popular with young professionals in recent years, thanks to its proximity to green spaces and Bristol city centre, while maintaining a quiet, residential feel. Church Road offers a vibrant selection of independent shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants such as The Bristol Loaf/Native Vine, The Red Church, and The Orchard Café.

This house benefits from close proximity to Netham Park and with St George’s Park also nearby both offer fantastic green spaces that provide a welcome retreat from city life, especially on summer days.

For those needing access out of Bristol, the property is just a short drive from Junction 2 of the M32, linking directly to the M4. The ever-popular Bristol to Bath Cycle Path is close at hand, perfect for weekend adventures. Bristol Temple Meads is also easily reached by car, bike, or via Lawrence Hill Station, which is under a 10-minute walk away.
