Whitehall Road, Whitehall

"I’ve loved different phases of life in this house. Sharing with my best mate, hosting dinners, drinking cocktails in the suntrap garden with neighbours and exploring Bristol via the bike path. Stumbling to pregnancy yoga at the Beehive, changing the office to a nursery and the conservatory to a playroom. The park, local classes and Bristol Loaf were an essential part of our routine."

The house

This three-bed terraced modern house on Whitehall Road is a lovely family home in a convenient part of East Bristol. Across three floors it offers more space than you might expect from the outside, and it has a warm, well-loved feel throughout. Downstairs, the lounge/diner is a comfortable size and opens through French doors into a conservatory — a flexible extra room that works well as a playroom, home office, or just somewhere to enjoy the warmth of the sun all year round. The conservatory leads out to the garden, which gives the ground floor a nice sense of light and connection to the outside. There's also a separate kitchen, a downstairs WC and a handy ground floor cloakroom. On the first floor are two good-sized bedrooms and a family bathroom. The top floor is taken up by the principal bedroom, which has its own en-suite — a real bonus in a house of this size.

The outside space

The garden is private, well-maintained and easy to manage, with a patio area that's well suited to outdoor dining in the warmer months. There is a rear entrance which leads onto a private garage and allocated parking space, both of which are rare features in this part of Bristol.

The garage is leasehold but the rest of the property is freehold. The garage had a 999 year lease from 1 Feb 2005

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.
