Park Avenue, Victoria Park

“What first drew me to the house was its fantastic location, with the park and a lovely local bakery just moments away. I also fell in love with the beautiful double bay windows, which flood the rooms with natural light and give the house such a bright and welcoming feel.”

This home

Set along the colourful terraces of Park Avenue in Bedminster, this three-bedroom Victorian home offers charming period details and an exciting opportunity to create something truly special. Also offered with no onward chain.

Stepping inside, a welcoming entrance hallway leads through to a bright living room, where a beautiful bay window fills the space with natural light. High ceilings, decorative cornicing and a striking original-style fireplace bring character to the room. To the rear, the kitchen offers plenty of cupboard and worktop space, with a window overlooking the garden. Beyond this, a family bathroom and useful additional storage room complete the ground floor accommodation.

Upstairs, three bedrooms provide flexible living arrangements, ideal for families, guests or those looking for a dedicated home office. The spacious main bedroom sits at the front of the property, enjoying another attractive bay window and plenty of natural light.

Outside

Outside, the enclosed rear courtyard garden provides a private space to enjoy warmer days, with a paved seating area and established planting offering scope to create a lovely private space.

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 once 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, 5 minutes walk away.

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, cafe 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.
