Milford Street, Southville

"It's been a wonderful home to bring up a family in. Lots of indoor and outdoor space, lots of light. But the best thing has been living in Milford St - it's a very special street and a great community."

This home

Occupying a peaceful position on one of Southville’s most well-regarded residential streets, this substantial four-bedroom home extends across three floors and offers over 1,580 sq ft of versatile living space. Full of colour, character and thoughtful design, the house balances generous proportions with a warm, creative atmosphere that feels immediately welcoming.

The ground floor has been opened and arranged around modern family life, centred on an impressive 22ft lounge/dining space where exposed timber beams, wooden flooring and large glazed doors create a strong connection to the garden beyond. The kitchen sits naturally within the space, offering storage and preparation areas while remaining sociable and open to the rest of the room. To the front elevation, a separate reception room provides flexibility as an additional sitting room, workspace or playroom, while a pantry and downstairs WC add practicality.

The upper floors are arranged around four comfortable double bedrooms, all well-proportioned and filled with natural light. Elevated views across the city skyline from the upper storeys give the house a rare sense of openness, stretching across South Bristol towards the city beyond. A family bathroom and useful built-in storage complete the accommodation.

Outside

One of the standout features of the home is the beautifully established rear garden. Thoughtfully planted and surprisingly private, the space unfolds into a series of seating areas framed by mature greenery, creating an atmosphere that feels calm, secluded and well suited to both entertaining and quieter everyday use. A garden studio at the rear offers further flexibility for creative work, storage or hobbies.
