Gadshill Road, Eastville

"The first warm day of the year when we can open the double doors at the back of the kitchen onto the garden. With the grape vine providing shade and the garden in full bloom it can feel almost Mediterranean."

The Home

Announced by a striking yellow front door, this exceptional two-bedroom terrace sits quietly within one of BS5’s most sought-after pockets and has been thoughtfully extended and comprehensively reimagined to create a home of rare warmth, character and quality. From the outset, there is a sense that every detail has been carefully considered. The home balances refined design with an effortless liveability, resulting in spaces that feel both beautifully curated and deeply comfortable.

At its heart lies a stunning open-plan kitchen and dining space, flooded with natural light and designed to bring people together. Created in collaboration with Bristol Sustainable Building, the kitchen combines bespoke cabinetry, a beautifully integrated larder and generous storage, all finished in calm, contemporary tones. Distinctive Mexican Milagros tiles introduce warmth, texture and personality, grounding the space with a subtle sense of craftsmanship and individuality.
Practicality has been seamlessly woven into the design, with a separate utility room and downstairs WC discreetly positioned to preserve the elegant flow of the living space. To the front of the house, a more intimate reception room provides a cosy retreat, centred around a newly installed log burner that adds both comfort and atmosphere, a welcoming contrast to the openness and light of the kitchen beyond.

Upstairs, the home continues to impress. Both bedrooms are beautifully proportioned, with the principal bedroom offering a particularly generous and calming environment, finished in soft, restful tones that enhance its sense of tranquillity. The second bedroom enjoys pleasant views across the landscaped garden and offers excellent flexibility as a guest room, nursery or light-filled workspace.
The family bathroom has been carefully remodelled to maximise both light and functionality, resulting in a space that feels simple, refined and quietly luxurious.

Sustainability and longevity have been central to the renovation throughout. The house has been fully rewired, a new gas boiler installed, and insulation thoughtfully added wherever possible. Walls have been replastered using breathable lime plaster and finished with breathable paints, allowing the home to regulate moisture naturally while remaining free from damp a reflection of the care, expertise and integrity behind the project. The rear extension also benefits from a newly constructed roof, completing a renovation carried out with lasting quality firmly in mind.
A truly special turnkey home where craftsmanship, sustainability and thoughtful design combine effortlessly creating a home that feels timeless, calming and ready to enjoy from day one.

The Outside

The south-west facing garden has been beautifully landscaped to create an outdoor space that feels both peaceful and deeply private. Thoughtful planting softens the surroundings, while a bespoke garden shed, crafted from reclaimed chimney bricks, introduces a unique architectural detail full of charm and character. Designed as a natural extension of the home, it’s a setting equally suited to quiet mornings in the sun, slow afternoons outdoors or long evenings spent entertaining.
