Anstey Street, Easton

Waking up to the view of sunny terraced roofs from our bedroom window and pottering out to the garden for a cup of tea under the dappled shade of the cherry tree, Anstey St feels like a quiet, calm oasis in the heart of the city.

The home

A characterful terrace on Anstey Street, in the heart of Easton, arranged over three floors and full of warmth and personality throughout.

Entrance is through a central hallway, with a half painted wall in a warm terracotta tone and room for coats and bikes, stairs rising to the first floor. To the front, the living room is a bright, sociable space centred on a bay window, with room for a full seating area and plenty of character in the detailing.

To the rear, the dining room opens through to the kitchen, with wood flooring, a round dining table and a mix of vintage furniture and glazed display cabinets giving the space a relaxed, well loved feel. The kitchen itself is fitted with dark green cabinetry, white metro tile splashbacks and timber worktops, with open shelving keeping it practical and characterful. The bathroom is positioned at the rear of the home with a pedestal basin, bath and window bringing in good natural light.

Upstairs, The first floor itself offers three further rooms, a well proportioned double, a second bedroom with room for a desk and wardrobe, and a smaller third room suited to a home office, nursery or dressing room. At the top of the house there is a loft room, a bright space with sloped ceilings and rooftop views.

The outside space

The rear garden is a green, established spot, reached directly from double doors in the dining room or through the kitchen, with mature planting, a brick paved patio and room for a table and chairs, a lovely spot for morning coffee or evening drinks outside.
