Backing on to the lush greenery of Arnos Vale – a substantial 3 double bedroom, 2 / 3 reception Victorian period family house with a generous 50 foot garden.

The setting is really something special.  There are these magic pockets of green space dotted throughout the city and it’s refreshing and uplifting to have such a pleasant and private wooded backdrop to the house.

A cherished family home for 20 years, retaining so much of its original character with stained glass windows, fireplaces, stripped doors, cornicing and restored floorboards all complimented by white washed walls to create a pared back, simple and relaxed home.

The accommodation is well proportioned throughout - 3 large bedrooms, family bathroom, 2 receptions and a comfortable kitchen dining room with plenty of space and doors opening out onto the rear garden.  There’s a downstairs loo and a useful cellar storage room that houses the new boiler.

Somerset Road is a friendly and quiet side road, away from through traffic yet close to Wells Road which has a range of shops, cafes and restaurants.  Pop down the hill to Bank – an exceptional neighbourhood eatery – perhaps stopping at Bruhaha on the way.  The Knowle is a terrific local about 600 metres away.

Arnos Vale is accessible from the end of the road and is a tranquil and leafy Victorian Garden Cemetery of circa 45 acres with interesting architecture, nature walks and café.  Further local green spaces include Redcatch and Perrett Park (10 minute walk) and Callington Nature Reserve (20 minute walk) – to have so much greenery so close to the city is quite rare and provides a harmonious balance between the hustle and bustle of the city and the calmness of nature.

Sydenham Road pre school and Hillcrest Primary School are about 200m away so couldn’t be much more convenient for young families.

Getting in and out of town is straightforward with regular buses along Wells Road or a 30 minute walk if you’re feeling energetic.

The location is very well connected away from Bristol with Temple Meads about a mile away and the Bristol Airport Flyer bus route stops about 500 metres away.
