Ashgrove Road, Bedminster

“One of the things I’ll miss most is being able to potter over to North Street for a coffee, or pick up something delicious from the Tobacco Factory Sunday Market, before wandering home to enjoy it in the peace of our suntrap garden. Having so much on the doorstep, while still being able to retreat to such a calm little outdoor space, has been really special.”

A colourful and characterful two bedroom Victorian home in the heart of Bedminster, offering beautifully proportioned rooms, plenty of original charm.

The ground floor is arranged around two reception rooms, both with stripped wooden floorboards and feature fireplaces. To the front sits a warm and welcoming lounge, where a bay window brings in plenty of natural light. Built-in shelving and cabinetry frame the handsome period fireplace, while the neutral palette allows the original details to really stand out. The dining room is a particularly inviting space, finished in a soft green with a decorative fireplace providing a natural focal point and ample room for a large dining table. Beyond, the separate kitchen is bright and practical, with white cabinetry, timber worktops and access towards the garden.

Upstairs are two genuinely good-sized double bedrooms. The larger bedroom spans the width of the house, while the second is another comfortable double, both offering plenty of flexibility for wardrobes, desks and additional furniture. A spacious bathroom completes the first floor.

Outside

Outside, the rear garden feels wonderfully private and established, combining a paved seating area with lawn, mature planting and climbing greenery – a lovely spot for summer evenings, outdoor dining. There is also a storage room accessed from the garden located below the kitchen which could be used as a utility or home office. There is also a useful enclosed area to the front of the house which allows space for bike storage.

Living in Bedminster

Ashgrove Road is a quiet residential road just off Chessel Street in Bedminster. The house lies close to North Street, a hub for local independents, restaurants, and shops, including Michelin recommended COR and OTHER, coffee shops Sweven and Burra, and The Tobacco Factory - a café, bar, and theatre that hosts a bustling Sunday market.

Several parks surround Ashgrove Road, with South Street Park just around the corner and the larger Greville Smyth Park a 15 minute walk away. Just beyond Greville Smyth (a further 20 minutes) is the sprawling Ashton Court Estate - home to the annual Bristol Balloon Fiesta and 850 acres of wood and grassland.
