Osborne Road, Southville

“Sitting on the terrace at sunset, we always said that we could never get tired of that view and that's held true. But this home has been far more than just its view for us; it’s been a sanctuary amongst city life, even though it also feels right at the heart of Bristol. From watching the hot air balloons cruise overhead to family hot tub time, we loved every moment in this very special place, and if we could have brought it with us we would!”

The Home

An exceptional modern detached home with wrap-around garden and sweeping views over Clifton, the Suspension Bridge and the city’s landmarks from across the property, indoors and out.
The current owners have transformed the property into a thoughtfully-designed open plan home with excellent eco credentials including an air source heat pump, underfloor heating throughout and full insulation. Every square inch of this architect-designed home has been meticulously planned to maximize light, views, and livability. The heart of the home is an open plan kitchen/living room/dining room with floor-to-ceiling glass looking over a stunning terrace and framing Bristol’s best views. The kitchen features custom walnut-ply cabinets, Foresso worktops and a large kitchen island with stool seating. The dining room features custom built in seating. The main living space features an expansive ceiling with exposed trusses, and a mezzanine nook suitable for reading or guests (and with its own Cliftonwood view). The master double bedroom with ensuite shower room features glass sliding doors with direct access to private stone terrace with hot tub and hot/cold shower and you can view the bridge from the comfort of the bed. The second bedroom features large windows and a special mezzanine sleeping area - the dream kids bedroom or perfect office. There is also a second bathroom with shower.

The Outside
In an area where outdoor space is at a premium, this property boasts one of Southville's biggest private gardens, plus private drive, detached garage and parking for 3 cars. Uniquely, the spectacular panoramic views extend throughout the entire outdoor space – from the multiple terraces to every corner of the garden. The terrace accessed directly from the master bedroom has access to a hot tub as well as an outdoor shower.

The property also has plenty of scope for extending.

Living in Southville

Secreted away at the corner of Pembroke Road and Osborne Road, two beautiful, quiet residential streets in Southville. The house lies close to North Street, a hub for local independents, restaurants, and shops, including Michelin recommended COR and OTHER, coffee shops Sweven and Burra, and The Tobacco Factory - a café, bar, and theatre that hosts a bustling Sunday market.

A short stroll across Gaol Ferry Bridge (10 minutes) will take you to Wapping Wharf - a vibrant foodie destination set on the edge of Bristol’s historic harbourside. Serving from converted cargo containers, you’ll find top Bristol indies including Gambas, Cargo Cantina, Lapin, Ragu and Swoon Gelato, as well as Elevate Yoga Studio, Hue Hair and Beauty, and Anna Cake Couture. The city centre is a further 15 minutes on foot.

Several parks are within easy reach of Osborne Road with Greville Smyth Park a 15 minute walk away and the sprawling Ashton Court Estate a further 20 minutes beyond - an expansive 850 acres of wood and grassland that is home to the annual Bristol Balloon Fiesta.

Bristol Temple Meads is a 10 minute drive or 30 minute walk away and offers direct services to Bath Spa (11 minutes) and London Paddington (1 hour 35 minutes). For local connections, the city centre is a short walk or cycle ride, and bus routes run regularly from North Street.
