St Nicholas Park, Easton

Waking up & making a cup of tea in the morning and while waiting for the kettle to boil looking out over the luscious green garden and watching the sun rise just above the back garden wall. Then getting a coffee at Radical Roasters, the best coffee in Bristol & going for a walk around Greenbank cemetery or Eastville park before getting a fresh loaf from one of the farm shops in a community where the shopkeepers know your name & then coming home to this little sanctuary in the heart of Easton

The home

A characterful two bedroom terrace on St Nicholas Park, in the heart of Easton, full of colour, warmth and personality throughout, with a pretty planted front garden and a cheerful orange front door setting the tone from the street.

Entrance is through a long central hallway with wooden floorboards and an arched opening, stairs rising to the first floor. To the front, the living room is a bright, welcoming space centred on a bay window, with period detailing including ornate coving and a fireplace. Timber shelving runs across both alcoves, and the bold blue walls and original floorboards give the room a relaxed, lived in feel.
To the rear, the dining room is a lovely sociable space, with a brick fireplace set into the chimney breast, built in shelving to one alcove and French doors opening straight out to the garden. There's room here for both a dining table and a comfortable seating area. Beyond, the galley kitchen is fitted with light wood cabinetry and dark worktops, a gas hob with extractor, space for a washing machine and a window over the sink looking out over the garden. Useful understairs storage completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, the main bedroom spans the front of the house, a generous, light filled room with a large sash window and plenty of space for a double bed alongside a desk or dressing area. To the rear, the second bedroom is another good sized double, bright and calm with views over the garden. The bathroom sits at the rear of the first floor, with a bath and shower over, a heated towel rail and a window bringing in good natural light, and there's a handy storage cupboard off the landing.

The outside space

The rear garden is a real highlight, a green, established space reached directly from the dining room. Decking runs along the back of the house and down the side return, with steps leading up to a raised level with a lawn, raised beds and a paved seating area with room for a table and chairs. Mature planting and climbers wrap around the boundaries, giving it a private, leafy feel that's especially beautiful in autumn, and there's plenty of scope for anyone keen to grow their own.
