2 bedroom terraced house for sale

"I fell in love with the character of this house as soon as I saw it, it is my sanctuary from stressful work life. It is amazing to be close to North Street and its vibrant social life as well as relaxing green space. I love food and the restaurants and delis are fantastic. The local community is awesome too with lots of events, groups and bands to join! I met my husband while living here and then started my family and the local groups made it a great experience."

Thanet Road is situated in a quite cul-de-sac in Bedminster and is a 10 minute walk away from the amenities and vibrancy of North Street, which is home to a number of popular bars and eateries such as The Tobacco Factory, Souk Kitchen, The Pony & Trap Bistro & The Malago. This area is popular with a range of residents for its independent shops and abundance of recognisable culture, typified by annual events such as ‘Upfest’ and the nearby Harbourside Festival and Bristol International Balloon Fiesta. Crossing the river from Southville (via Vauxhall Bridge and / or Gaol Ferry Bridge) you are just minutes from all Bristol City Centre has to offer. For those who work in the city, the commute by foot, bike or ferry is short, whilst the journey home after an evening in a city is very straightforward and advantageous on foot rather than negotiating city centre traffic. North of the river and immediately accessible from Gaol Ferry Bridge is Wapping Wharf and the high-end development ‘The General’, which hosts the Michelin star restaurants of Casamia and Paco Tapas. Beyond these is Bristol’s scenic harbourside with its boat trips and water-facing bars and restaurants. This property is also a short distance from Parson Street train station.

The current owners of Thanet Road have done extensive work to the house in the 13 years they have lived there. A new high specification kitchen was installed in 2018 with granite worktops integrated appliances, at the same the wall was knocked down to open the space up into a kitchen / dinning room. Throughout the ground floor you have original floorboards and pine flooring with the gaps infilled for warmth. In both receptions rooms there are working log burners. Upstairs there is a large bathroom replaced in 2019, in both the bedrooms you have the original fireplace and in the main bedroom you have amazing views across Ashton Court and Clifton Suspension Bridge. In 2021 the owners extended the property by adding a loft room with velux windows and plenty of eaves storage. Finally outside the garden is a small oasis, well sheltered from wind and noise but getting plenty of sun.
