Challenor Court, Harbourside

"We love that it's so quiet, despite being only two minutes from the M Shed and the little container shops, especially the ice cream place. Likewise, five minutes to the Watershed and then the start of Park Street. For a central location, it's easy to get out in to the green - the cycle routes start over the road at MShed, so Ashton Court or even Clevedon and Weston are doable without using a road! So handy - even the airport bus stops are only 10 minute walk!"

There's a garage located in a block of four adjacent to the home.

Living on Harbourside

Challoner Court dates back to the 1980's and is the original Harbourside development. Brick built and generous with space as well as really quiet and private, it's a little oasis a few steps from the waterfront. This area is now home to several impressive newly built homes, trendy bars and boutique shops, largely occupied for local independent businesses. Directly across the harbour is Bristol’s historic Old City, offering easy access should you want to go for a walk around Queens Square, grab a bite to eat at St Nicholas Market, or a quick drink on King Street. Across the river to the south of the City Centre is the Southville and Bedminster area, which offers a range of popular eateries, bars and shops. For commuters, the area is ideal with several major employers on the doorstep, including Lloyds Bank and Hargreaves Lansdown who are based on the Harbourside along with several major law firms around Redcliffe and Temple Quay. Access out of the city from this area is straightforward with buses running frequently along the adjacent Cumberland Road to Bristol Airport and the nearby A4 and M32 providing access to the M5 and M4 respectively. One of the key selling points for Redcliffe Parade is that it is only a short 15-minute walk to Temple Meads which is ideal for those looking to commute out of the City or escape for a weekend away. For those looking for quiet walks, there are pleasant routes around the Harbourside but the nearby Ashton Court and Victoria Park also provide expansive green space for running, dog walking and off-road cycling.
