Repton Road, Brislington

“What I love about Brislington is that it feels like an escape from the busyness of the city, while still being so close to everything. I’ll often spend my lunch break walking through one of the nearby parks or valleys, or popping to the local deli or veg shop. There’s a real sense of community and everything you need is close by, yet you can still cycle into central Bristol in around 10 minutes.”

This home

This beautifully presented Victorian home on Repton Road combines generous proportions with a warm, characterful interior and a wonderfully sociable layout. At the front, a bright bay-fronted living room features timber flooring, a fireplace and built-in shelving and storage, with an arched opening connecting through to the dining room beyond. This creates a lovely flow between the two reception spaces, while still giving each room its own identity. To the rear, the kitchen offers plenty of storage and worktop space, leading through to a useful separate utility and out to the garden.

Upstairs are two generous double bedrooms, including a particularly spacious bay-fronted main bedroom with built-in storage. The large bathroom is a standout, finished in a bold contemporary style with a freestanding bath, separate walk-in shower and rooflight above.

Outside

Outside, the rear garden feels private and established, with mature planting and a generous deck creating an inviting space for summer dining and entertaining.
