Tyndale Avenue, Fishponds

"Our house on Tyndale Avenue has provided us with the perfect combination of relative seclusion, whilst being just a stone's throw from the bustling Fishponds High Street and the Bristol Bath Cycle Path. The location is perfect for those commuting by bike into the centre and beyond. Our dog, Diego, has certainly never objected to Oldbury Court and Snuff Mills being a short walk away, either. We've put a lot of love and effort into our home, which we have grown equally fond and proud of. We've taken a lot of care in the extensive works we've had done to create a calm and relaxing space, which is ideal for hosting friends and family alike. Our new arrival signals time for pastures new, but we hope this place presents an ideal home for someone, as it has been for us over the past five years."

The home

A characterful two-bedroom Victorian home with generous proportions, original features and a lovely balance of period charm and contemporary touches. Set on Tyndale Avenue in Fishponds, the property offers approximately 927 sq ft of accommodation arranged over two floors, with two reception rooms, a thoughtfully updated kitchen and a particularly spacious first-floor bathroom.

The ground floor begins with a welcoming living room, where a bay window draws in natural light and highlights the high ceilings, decorative coving and timber floorboards. The room has a relaxed feel, with plenty of space for seating and a clear sense of the property's Victorian character. Beyond, the separate dining room provides a generous space for everyday meals and entertaining, with further timber flooring and an attractive fireplace forming a natural focal point. The kitchen sits to the rear and has been updated with contemporary cabinetry, pale worktops and green tiled splashbacks, adding a fresh contrast to the more traditional features elsewhere. There is direct access towards the rear garden, making it a practical space for day-to-day living. A useful utility/WC completes the ground floor, keeping laundry and additional facilities neatly separate from the main accommodation.

Upstairs, there are two well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom spans the front of the house and benefits from a bay window, while the second bedroom offers flexibility as a guest room, nursery or home office. The first-floor bathroom is a real feature, with a freestanding bath, separate shower, warm-toned tiling and a distinctive mix of contemporary and traditional fittings. EPC has been ordered.

The outside space

The rear garden is a lovely, private-feeling space, with an east-facing aspect that makes it well suited to enjoying the morning sunshine. Finished with gravel for relatively low-maintenance upkeep, it offers plenty of room for outdoor dining and seating, with established trees and mature greenery creating a leafy backdrop. Raised brick borders, potted plants and timber fencing add character, while a useful wooden shed provides storage for garden furniture and equipment. Directly accessed from the rear of the house, it’s a welcoming spot for a morning coffee or relaxed summer evenings.
