Whitby Road, Brislington

“We’ve absolutely loved living here and have always felt so lucky with the neighbourhood. There’s a really friendly sense of community, and our immediate neighbours are wonderful. It’s also incredibly well connected. Public transport makes getting around Bristol so easy, while having the train station close by has been brilliant for commuting, weekends away and travelling further afield.”

This home

This beautifully presented three-bedroom Victorian home on Whitby Road offers over 1,000 sq ft of thoughtfully arranged living space, with a fantastic open-plan ground floor and a private rear garden.

At the front, the bay-windowed living room provides a comfortable place to unwind, flowing naturally through to the dining area and into the kitchen. The kitchen is undoubtedly the heart of the home: bright and sociable, with a large central island, generous worktop space and skylight. Bi-fold doors open directly onto the garden, creating an easy connection between indoors and out and making this a brilliant space for entertaining through the warmer months. A separate utility room and downstairs WC are also found on the ground floor. Additionally the home has modern double glazed sash windows throughout.

Upstairs are three bedrooms. The generous main bedroom sits at the front of the house with another bay window, while the second bedroom makes an ideal double, nursery or guest room. The third, currently arranged as a home office, offers a dedicated space for working from home. A well-proportioned family bathroom with underfloor heating completes the first floor.

Outside

Outside, the rear garden has been designed to be both attractive and easy to maintain, with lawn, contemporary paving and a substantial covered seating area providing a sheltered spot for outdoor dining and entertaining. Both front and rear of this home feels particularly quiet with no overlooking neighbours unlike most terrace homes.
