Osborne Road, Southville

"For me, it’s the moment I open the front door and step inside – that unmistakable feeling of being home. It’s curling up on the sofa in the back living room as the sunlight streams through the Velux windows, long summer evenings spent hosting BBQs with friends in the garden, and cosy winter nights gathered around the crackling fire with the people I love."

This home

Tucked away on one of Southville's most desirable streets, this beautifully presented Victorian home effortlessly balances period charm with contemporary design. Thoughtfully extended and full of personality, it's a home that has been lovingly updated to create spaces that feel both sociable and wonderfully calm.

Stepping inside, the bay-fronted lounge is warm and inviting, with high ceilings, original floorboards and a wood-burning stove creating the perfect place to unwind. Beyond, a separate dining room offers a versatile second reception space before opening into the heart of the home, a spacious kitchen and dining area where bold colour, bespoke details and large rooflights flood the space with natural light. Bi-fold doors connect seamlessly to the garden, making this a brilliant space for entertaining, while a practical utility room and downstairs WC complete the ground floor.

Upstairs are three well-proportioned bedrooms, offering flexibility for growing families, guests or those working from home. The family bathroom has been finished in a timeless style, complementing the character found throughout the rest of the house.

Outside

The south east facing garden is designed for enjoying every season, with plenty of space for summer dining, morning coffees or relaxing with friends after work.

Living in Southville

Osborne Road is a quiet residential street which is positioned on the east of Southville and the north of Bedminster, very close to the bridge across the River Avon to the Wapping Wharf area. North Street in Southville is very nearby and is home to a number of popular bars and eateries such as The Malago, the popular Souk Kitchen, Kask as well as highly regarded cafes such as Sweven and Albatross Cafe. Crossing the river from Southville, you are just minutes from the vibrant Wapping Wharf development which has revolutionised the Harbourside with its cargo containers of exciting eateries and shops. Further still is a short walk to Bristol City Centre and for those who work in the city, the commute by foot or bike is short and painless, whilst the journey home after an evening in a city is also straightforward and advantageous on foot rather than negotiating city centre traffic. Over the river to the west is the high-end development ‘The General’ with restaurant Paco Tapas. Beyond these is Bristol’s scenic harbourside with its boat trips and water-facing bars and restaurants.
