Rousham Road, Eastville

"We've enjoyed lots of lovely meals with the fabulous view and turning the slide into a water slide when the weather is good! Sitting at the top of the garden gives a wonderful sense of perspective and peace."

The home

A characterful three bedroom semi-detached on Rousham Road, presented with real warmth and personality throughout, with a white rendered facade, red tiled roof and dormer windows giving it plenty of kerb appeal on this popular stretch.

Entrance is through a central hallway with stairs rising to the first floor. To the front, a versatile music room offers flexible reception space, currently set up as a practice room for piano and other instruments, while across the hall the living room is a bright, sociable space centred on a bay window, with room for a full seating area alongside space for music making, and a soft green dado rail and painted details giving it a relaxed, homely feel.

To the rear, the kitchen forms the heart of the home, opening through to a light filled conservatory beyond, a lovely spot for dining or simply looking out over the garden. A ground floor bedroom and a family bathroom, finished in a playful pink tile, complete this floor.

Upstairs, two further bedrooms sit under the eaves, each with sloped ceilings and dormer windows that bring in plenty of light and lovely elevated views out across the rooftops. One is currently styled as a calm, characterful double with a striking navy accent wall, the other set up as a fun, functional child's room with striped bedding and built in storage.

The outside space

The garden is a wonderfully wild and characterful space, laid out across several levels linked by steps and sleeper edged paths, with established trees, shrubs and areas of rougher planting giving it a lovely sense of seclusion. There's a swing, a slide and plenty of room to play, alongside a decked area with a hammock and outdoor seating, perfect for relaxing on warmer days.

At the top of the garden sits a fantastic timber shed, currently used as a playful, characterful retreat with its own decked terrace and seating, a brilliant addition for anyone wanting extra storage, a studio or simply a quiet spot away from the house.

Living on Rousham Road

Rousham Road lies on the border of St Werburghs and Eastville and benefits from having the green space of Narroways on the doorstep. It's a 10 minute walk to Ashley Down station and a 20 minute walk to Stapleton Road. St Werburghs is home to a number of popular cafes, shops and amenities, including The Better Food Company, Undercover Rock Climbing Centre in St Werburghs Church and Wiper and True brewery. The area's popularity derives in large part from its sense of community, but also from its close proximity to Bristol city centre, Greenbank and Cheltenham Road. The nearby M32 makes the area ideal for commuters, with easy access to Bristol Parkway and the M4. St Werburgh's Primary School and St Werburghs nursery both have a great reputation, adding to the pull of the area for families. Buses connect to various areas from nearby Glenfrome Road, just a two minute walk from the property. The local allotments, Boiling Wells and St Werburghs City Farm are a good example of the area's individuality and independence from surrounding suburbs
