Merioneth Street, Victoria Park

"Being a stone's throw from Victoria Park is such a wonderful thing to have in the city. And it's also just a short 20-25 minute walk into the Waterfront. It's a lovely walk through the park on an autumn day to the Victoria Park Pub, where there's a great vibe in the evenings. Being in this part of Bristol is awesome because you are so close to the centre and the train station, and you're also just a half an hour's drive up over Dundry Hill to the Chew Valley and the Mendips."

The home

A mid terrace Victorian home on a pretty street leading to Victoria Park. The house has a great flow downstairs and is has a living room open plan to the dining room with stripped wooden floors. The house has been extended in its time which means the kitchen has a further sitting area with doors leading to the garden, There is also a downstairs shower room. Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a modern bathroom.

The outside

The property has a great patio area surrounded by raised flower beds.

Living in Victoria Park

The area has a wonderful feeling of community, most evident on sunny days with the park bustling with neighbours and visitors alike. The area is central to many community events such as ‘Art on the Hill’, which happens one a year. This is also an area ideal for commuters both within Bristol and to the cities beyond through the trains at nearby Temple Meads or the local Bedminster station, just the other side of the park.

The local primary school, Victoria Park, is well thought of locally and along with St Mary Redcliffe (in the park), has enhanced the appeal of this area and nearby Windmill Hill for young families. Within easy walking distance are gastro-pubs such as the Victoria Park and Star and Dove, brilliant community owned pubs such as The Rising Sun, cafes such as the Sundial Kitchen, fruit and vegetable sellers such as The Banana Boat, bakeries and grocers such as Bristol Loaf and Hugo’s, and many other shops and restaurants.

Only a short bike-ride away are the music venues, theatres, cocktail bars, and other amenities of North Street in Southville, Wapping Wharf, and the City Centre. Yet this location is quiet and peaceful. For those looking for green space, there are few, if any, better places in Bristol. Victoria Park itself offers approximately 50 acres of large open space with fantastic views of the city. There is also a child’s play area and a marked running route for joggers. Perrett’s Park, with its beautiful views, is only just up the hill towards Knowle, whilst Arnos Vale Cemetery offers winding paths and interesting stories, in an area where it’s easy to feel distant from the city buzz.
