Whitehall Gardens, Whitehall

I've enjoyed making the house feel cosy and welcoming, and hosting dinners and film nights with friends in the colder months. In the warmer weather, I've loved spending time in the garden, which gets sunlight for most of the day - from having coffee and breakfast in the morning, to sharing a nice meal and wine in the evening.

The home

A characterful and well-proportioned Victorian terraced house on Hammersmith Road, presented with a great deal of personality and colour throughout. Offered with no onward chain.
Entrance is via a welcoming hallway, with warm timber flooring and a striking dark green door setting the tone for the individuality found throughout. To the front sits the living room, a generous and light-filled space with a bold painted fireplace and striking burnt orange ceiling creating a warm atmosphere. It has large bay windows, and plenty of room for relaxed everyday living. Moving through to the rear, the dining room is a sociable and characterful space, with direct access to the rear garden making it a naturally social spot for everyday meals and entertaining. The fitted kitchen sits adjacent, with sleek black cabinetry and timber-effect worktops, compact but practical and well-positioned for day-to-day life.

Upstairs, the home offers two bedrooms. The main bedroom is a generous double, bright and airy with good proportions and a calm, uncluttered feel. The second bedroom is also a comfortable double, currently arranged as a creative and characterful space with open shelving and plenty of charm. The first floor is served by a well-appointed family bathroom along with a pedestal basin and WC.

The outside space

The rear garden is a real highlight of this property, lush and well-established with a variety of mature planting and greenery creating a wonderfully private retreat. A useful side passage runs along the property, leading to a paved patio with raised beds, and a timber-clad outbuilding providing useful storage or workshop space. The whole garden has a cottagey, characterful feel and offers a level of 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.
