Hanham Road, Hanham

“Hosting our friends on a summers evening with the French doors open and the evening sun streaming into the kitchen is such a joy in this house. The open plan living and dining room has been perfect for our Halloween parties too.”

The home

Sold with no chain and set within a Victorian terrace on Hanham Road, this three-bedroom home has been thoughtfully updated over time, balancing period character with contemporary living. Confident use of colour runs throughout the house, complementing its original proportions and creating a series of spaces that feel individual yet connected. A traditional entrance hall leads into the bay-fronted living room, where high ceilings, original floorboards, decorative cornicing and a wood-burning stove create a welcoming first impression. Rich green walls highlight the period detailing, while the large bay window draws in plenty of natural light throughout the day. Beyond is a generous dining room, offering a flexible second reception space that comfortably accommodates a large dining table and provides a natural connection to the kitchen. Warm terracotta tones continue the home's distinctive palette before opening into a modern kitchen extension.

The kitchen has been designed with everyday living in mind, featuring a central island with breakfast seating, generous worktop space and rooflights above that flood the room with daylight. Full-width glazing opens directly onto the rear garden, creating an easy relationship between the house and outside space. A W.C completes the ground floor. Upstairs are three well-proportioned bedrooms, each offering flexibility for family life, guests or home working. The principal bedroom offers pleasant views of the garden, while the third bedroom is currently arranged as a study. A spacious and eye-catching family bathroom serves the first floor, with both a separate shower and bath. There is also an air source heat pump, recently fitted by the sellers.

The outside space

The rear garden is mature and well established, with a mixture of planting, lawn and seating areas providing interest throughout the seasons. It offers a private setting for entertaining, gardening or simply enjoying the afternoon sun.

Living in Hanham

The high street is home to several cafes, some boutique shops, and a florist. Hanham is well-regarded for its schools, with Beacon Rise Primary and Hanham Abbots Junior School well thought of, and Hanham Woods Academy, also rated highly as a secondary school, further fuelling this area’s popularity with families. Conham River Park is just minutes away and is an oasis in Bristol with riverside walks, home to lots of wildlife such as Kingfishers and Cormorants as well as providing access via a short boat crossing to Beeses’s bar and garden, which sits next to and overlooks the river. Magpie Bottom Nature Reserve is also just a short walk to the north, near Hanham High Street. And is a brilliant spot for those looking to walk the dog or just enjoy a peaceful spot in the city.
