Alderney Avenue, Brislington

"I love living in a detached house at the end of quiet cul-de-sac in Brislington. It's great being able to take daily walks to Nightingale valley and Eastwood farm, and it's a really calm location to live and work from home. But since it's also so close to the co-op, and just a short bus ride to the city centre, it feels like a great balance between quietness while still being really connected to the rest of the city."

The home

Set along Alderney Road in Brislington, this detached three-bedroom home offers well-balanced living space, off-street parking and a generous garden, making it an appealing option for first time buyers, growing families or anyone looking for more space within easy reach of the city.

On entering the property, there is a welcoming hallway providing access to the main living space and the upper level. The living room is bright and comfortable, suited to both everyday living and hosting friends and family, equipped with downstairs WC. The kitchen boasts ample storage and worktops whilst enjoying plenty of natural light, from the French doors out to your private and secure garden.

Upstairs, there are three well-proportioned bedrooms, each offering flexibility for family life, guest accommodation or home working. The detached setting gives the house a greater sense of privacy and quietness, something increasingly sought after in this part of Bristol.


The outside

To the front of the property is a private driveway with space for two cars. To the rear, the garden provides a lovely outdoor retreat, with room for outdoor dining, gardening or children’s play equipment. The combination of parking, garden space and detached living makes this a particularly practical home for long-term living.
