Colston Road, Easton

"It has been a joy living here in Easton. There is a wonderful sense of community to the area, lots of independent shops, cafes and pubs nearby and great access to green spaces. The transport links are great, with Stapleton Road train station nearby and the Bristol to Bike cycle path at the end of the road."

The house

This two-bedroom Victorian terrace in Easton has been carefully renovated throughout, offering a lovely blend of period charm and thoughtful, quality finishes arranged over two floors.

Bespoke stonework and windows to the front of the property make a real statement from the street. At the front, the open-plan living and dining room is a lovely, characterful space, finished with engineered oak flooring, built-in alcove shelving and plenty of room for both relaxing and entertaining. Following through, the kitchen is fitted with white cabinetry and wood-topped worktops and a run of open shelving. Original floorboards, carefully restored, run through the hall and kitchen. At the rear, there is an additional versatile space — ideal as a home office, snug or utility room — with a Velux bringing in lots of natural light.

Upstairs, both bedrooms are well-proportioned doubles — the larger at the front, with ample space for wardrobes, the second also a comfortable double overlooking the garden. The bathroom, with a striking teal colour scheme and separate bath and shower, completes the first floor.

The outside space

The paved rear garden offers a private, low-maintenance space, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining. At the rear, an insulated outbuilding with power and light connected provides excellent additional space — perfect as a workshop, studio, or for storage.
