Whitehall Road, Whitehall

This has been a great first home. I was won over by the character, light and space, with views of trees and greenery from every window.
The garden has been the real highlight of living here, lush and well-established with a variety of mature planting, trees and shrubs creating a wonderfully private and green retreat. I have extended the kitchen for entertaining space and make the most of the garden.
I love being able to step out of the garden and be in St George park in moments, with walks round the lake.

The home

A characterful and well-proportioned Victorian terraced house on Whitehall Road, presented with a great deal of personality throughout. Offered with no onward chain.

Entrance is via alight and welcoming hallway, with original wooden flooring setting the tone for the period detail found across the home. To the front sits a bright and inviting living room, featuring a handsome fireplace with decorative tiled surround, a bold teal feature wall, and a generous bay window that floods the space with natural light. A second reception room sits adjacent, equally full of character with its own fireplace and warm timber floorboards, currently used as a home study. Moving through the ground floor, the kitchen runs along one side of the property, fitted with cream cabinetry and dark granite-effect worktops, complemented by striking black metro tiling. Adjacent to the kitchen is a light-filled extended dining area with direct access to the rear garden, making it a naturally sociable space for everyday living and entertaining.

Upstairs, the home offers two bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a generous double, decorated in a rich blue with warm timber floorboards and fitted wardrobes providing good storage. A second double bedroom continues the period feel, with original floorboards adding warmth and character, and with views down to St George park. The first floor is served by a well-appointed family bathroom with a bath with shower mixer taps and separate shower enclosure, along with a toilet and sink vanity unit and light up mirror. The loft space is insulated and part boarded with loft ladder, offering useful extra storage.

The outside space

The rear garden is a real highlight of this property, lush and well-established with a variety of mature planting, trees and shrubs creating a wonderfully private and green retreat. South facing. A generous slate-paved patio runs directly from the dining room, plus a lawn area providing ample spaces for outdoor seating and entertaining. A traditional style shed sits to one side, and useful side gate on the other. The whole garden has a characterful, cottage-like feel and offers privacy that is relatively rare for a city terrace.

Living in Whitehall

Whitehall Road is situated in Whitehall, St George and the area has always been popular with families due to the popular Whitehall Primary school, whilst increasingly in high demand with young professionals in recent years. Whitehall Road has nice eateries including Bristol Spirit and venues like The Red Lion, and the Wackum Inn. Across the park is Church Road, which is home to a number of popular shops and cafes such as The Bristol Loaf, Southville Deli, Rubino Lounge and Grounded Cafe, restaurants such as The Lock Up and pubs such as the Dark Horse and Old Stillage. St Marks Road in Easton is only a short walk away and also boasts a range of well-regarded venues such as No.12 Provisions and Bristol Sweet Mart. Este's and Garden of Easton, both in Easton, are also very close by. The proximity of the large, Victorian St George's Park is also a huge benefit to local residents and offers a great retreat from city life on a summer's day, with its lake, café, library, bowling, tennis, play area and skate park. The sportier of the local residents can take advantage of the Whitehall Athletics Arena through Bristol and West AC who are based there. For those needing access away from Bristol, the property is very close to the Bristol to Bath Railway Path and just a short drive from Junction 2 of the M32, which in turn leads to the M4 and M5. Bristol Temple Meads train station is also just a short journey by car, bike or bus from the local Lawrence Hill Station. Regular buses serve both Whitehall Road and Church Road.
