Chessel Street, Bedminster

"We’ve absolutely loved our eight years at 89 Chessel Street. It’s been a wonderful family home, with the bright, open-plan kitchen and dining space at its heart, opening onto a sunny, private garden where we’ve enjoyed countless gatherings. The loft room offers beautiful views towards the Dundry Hills, while the friendly street and fantastic sense of community have made living here even more special. We’ll be incredibly sad to leave and hope the next owners love it as much as we have."

This home

A beautifully presented Victorian terrace, this thoughtfully extended home offers over 1,200 sq ft of bright and spacious family home, balancing original character with a colourful, contemporary finish.
The ground floor flows particularly well. At the front, a bay-fronted living room is centred around a wood-burning stove, with original detailing and warm timber floors. This opens through to a versatile second reception room, currently used as a family and dining space, before leading into the impressive rear extension.

Here, a generous kitchen and dining room forms the heart of the home, with sleek cabinetry, a central island and rooflights bringing plenty of natural light into the space. Wide bi-fold doors open directly onto the garden, creating an easy connection between indoors and out.

Upstairs, the first floor provides two generous double bedrooms alongside a spacious family bathroom. The loft has been converted to create an impressive main bedroom, complete with its own en-suite shower room, eaves storage and far-reaching rooftop views across Bristol.

Outside

Outside, the private rear garden combines a lawn with paved seating areas and established planting, offering a private and manageable space for entertaining. Facing south west, this garden is perfect for summer hosting with an in-built awning to protect during the hotter days.

Living in Bedminster

Chessel Street is a residential road in one of the most desirable parts of Bristol. This house is within easy reach of all the amenities of North Street, including The Tobacco Factory, the popular Souk Kitchen, and Spotted Cow, as well as highly regarded cafés such as Sweven, Burra, and Peggys Coffee and Brunch.

Heading further north, crossing the river from Southville, you're less than fifteen minutes from all that Bristol City Centre has to offer. For those who work in the city, the commute by foot or bike is short and painless, with lovely views along The Harbourside. The journey home after an evening in the city is also straightforward and more convenient on foot rather than negotiating city centre traffic. Bristol’s scenic Harbourside offer boat trips and waterfront bars and restaurants.

With this house being under two miles from Temple Meads - Bristol's main train station - and close to roads that can take you out of the city in either direction, the location of Chessel Street is certainly key to its popularity.
