High Street, Easton

What I’ve loved most about living in Easton is being part of such a welcoming, tight knit and vibrant community. There’s a real grassroots creative energy to the place; art studios, little independent shops, brilliant cafes and people making things happen all around you. It’s the kind of community where you start to recognise familiar faces and feel part of something, and I’ve really loved being part of it.

The home

A characterful two bedroom terrace on High Street, in the heart of Easton, full of period charm and relaxed, homely style throughout. A bay window, small planted front garden and bright blue front door with leaded glass above give it real kerb appeal.

Entrance is through a long central hallway with wooden flooring, stairs rising to the first floor. To the front, the living room is a cosy, inviting space centred on a log burner set into the chimney breast, with a log store and shelving in the alcoves either side. Deep teal walls give the room a warm, enveloping feel, while the bay window brings in plenty of natural light, with room for a full seating area.

To the rear, the dining room is a bright, characterful space with original floorboards, a cast iron fireplace and a traditional ceiling airer. Timber French doors with leaded glass top lights open straight out to the garden, and there's handy understairs storage and space for a large dining table. Beyond, the galley kitchen is fitted with sage green cabinetry and timber worktops, with open shelving, space for a washing machine and a window looking out to the side, keeping it light and practical.

Upstairs, there are two well proportioned double bedrooms, both bright and calm, with wooden floorboards and simple, airy decor. One benefits from a built in hanging rail set into the alcove, and the other a fitted cupboard. The family bathroom completes the floor, with fresh green walls, white tiling with a decorative border, a bath with shower over, a pedestal basin and a window bringing in good natural light.

The outside space

The main garden is to the rear, reached directly from the dining room, with a paved patio beside the house giving way to a lawn bordered by mature planting, climbers and trellis topped fencing. There's room for a table and chairs on the patio and a bench tucked into the planting, making it a peaceful, green spot to enjoy through the warmer months. To the front, a small planted garden sits behind a low wall.

Living in Easton

High Street sits in the heart of Easton, one of Bristol's most characterful and community-minded neighbourhoods, prized for its distinctive character, independent spirit and strong sense of community. The nearby St Marks Road is a real draw, home to Bristol Sweet Mart, Garden of Easton and Staple Bakery, alongside a wealth of other independent cafes, restaurants and shops popular with locals and visitors alike. Also close by are The Greenbank pub, Este Kitchen and Matter Wholefoods.

Greenbank Cemetery offers a peaceful green space right on the doorstep, while the Bristol to Bath Railway Path is just minutes away, ideal for commuting, running or weekend cycling. The area is well connected to the city centre and beyond by bike, road and train, with the M32 and A431 to Bath both easily accessible. Families are well served too, with a good choice of well regarded local schools nearby, along with Easton Leisure Centre and the wider green spaces of Eastville and St George parks close at hand.
