First Avenue, St Annes

"Some of our favourite moments here have been the simple, everyday ones. Spending time in the kitchen garden as the evening draws in, or stepping out from the garden office for a coffee on the deck. These give us a real sense of peace and connection to the outdoors. One of the things we have loved most is how private the house feels. From our bedroom, all we see are trees, and waking up to birdsong has become part of daily life. Our toddler's highlight would be watching the hot air balloons drift overhead, sometimes so low that you can wave to the people on board – something he never misses an opportunity to do."

The Home

A three bedroom semi detached bungalow surrounded by a wonderful garden both to the front and rear and off street parking. The house has an open plan kitchen/diner/living room which leads to an additional sunroom overlooking the rear garden. There are two double bedrooms and a third single bedroom and a family bathroom.

The Outside

There is a fabulous sized rear garden with a large patio for dining and a great sized lawn. The front garden has large flower beds abundant with some great veggies and flowers and there is a custom built garden room with ensuite shower room which can be used as a guest bedroom or home office. There is also a large garage/workshop

Living in Brislington

The home is tucked away down a private lane off First Avenue. The area is just a short walk from the shops and amenities of Sandy Park Road, with popular independents such as The Deli @ Sandy Park, Kin Café, The Langton pub, and Lost & Grounded Taproom also a short journey away.

Close by is Eastwood Farm and Nightingale Valley, which provides two great areas for runners and dog-walkers, as well as those looking for more of an escape from the city. A huge draw to the area is its semi-rural feel, with easy access to Conham River Park, Arnos Vale Cemetery, and the ever-popular Beeses, which sits overlooking the River Avon.

For commuters, this area is well connected, with regular buses on Route 1, giving you easy access to Bristol City Centre and Bristol Temple Meads Station.
