Westminster Road, Whitehall

"This is the first house I have bought on my own, and I have poured love into every corner of it. My favourite moment is heading upstairs to the living room at the end of the day. Tucked under the roof, with the light pouring in and views stretching towards the hills south of Bristol, it’s a calm, bright space to unwind. It’s such a light-filled home, and I have enjoyed finding clever ways to make every inch work. It’s also been a treat being so close to so many green spaces and the cycle path."

The Home

This is a characterful two-bed maisonette on Westminster Road in Whitehall taking up the top two floors of a handsome bay-fronted terrace. It's an unusual layout that works in the property’s favour — you come in downstairs to the hallway, with both bedrooms and the bathroom off it, then head upstairs to a bright, open kitchen/dining/living space that takes up the whole top floor.

The front bedroom is a good-sized double with a bay window and an old chimney breast left exposed, giving it period charm, whilst the second bedroom is also a good size & would work just as well as a work as an office/studio. The bathroom is spacious & bright with original green tiling and a good-sized bath with an overhead shower.

Upstairs is where the flat really comes into its own. The kitchen, dining and living area runs the full width of the building with windows front and back, so it's flooded with light for most of the day, and there are lovely rooftop views out towards the city from the dining table. The current owner has filled it with warmth creating a great space for both everyday living as well as entertaining. It’s a stylish home which feels peacefully tucked away – whilst it is move-in ready it also has scope for further transformation.

Criss cross lease - no management charge or ground rent.

Living in Whitehall

Westminster Road is situated in Whitehall, just off the Bristol to Bath cycle path in between Greenbank and St George's Park. The area has always been popular with families due to the ‘Outstanding’ Whitehall Primary school which is literally at the end of the road, whilst increasingly being in high demand with young professionals in recent years. Whitehall Road has nice eateries including Bristol Spirit and venues like The Red Lion. Church Road is home to a number of popular shops and cafes such as The Bristol Loaf/Native Vine, Southville Deli & The Small City Bookshop, restaurants such as The Lock Up and pubs such as The Dark Horse & the Old Stillage. St Marks Road in Easton is only a short walk away and the area boasts a range of well-regarded venues such as the No.12, Matter Wholefoods & La Cubana, Bristol Sweet Mart, Cafe 5 and the The Greenbank pub. The proximity of the large, Victorian St George's Park is a huge benefit to local residents and offers a great retreat from city life on a summer's day - especially with the reopening of the St George Bowls and Social Club. 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. Bristol Temple Meads train station is also just a short journey by car, bike or train from the local Lawrence Hill Station.
