Built circa 1691, this Grade II listed property is one of Brislington’s most storied residences, even serving as the area’s first school under the esteemed educator and writer, Hannah More, around 1796. The cottage commemorates this history with a prestigious blue plaque, awarded in 2002.
The property’s character shines through its original architecture, enhanced by sensitive updates approved by Bristol City Council. Recent restorations include replacing old concrete mortar with traditional lime mortar, applying new lime plaster throughout the interior walls, and updating the electrical systems. The first-floor floorboards have also been replaced, blending historical integrity with a refreshed look.
Outside, Keepers Cottage features both convenience and charm. A private driveway accommodates parking, and additional space is available on nearby Glenarm Road, free from restrictions. The tranquil garden boasts an old capped water well, a nod to the property’s heritage. For outdoor enthusiasts, Victory Park is a short five-minute walk, and the scenic Nightingale Valley offers riverside paths by the Avon, leading to the renowned Beeses Tea Rooms. It's convivence is unmatched as Brislington Retail Park is also minutes away!
With functional fireplaces (not recently used) and an updated boiler serviced in January 2024, the cottage is ready for cozy winters. Keepers Cottage, free from any known subsidence and readily insurable through standard providers, promises a heritage-rich lifestyle with future infrastructure improvements planned to ease Brislington Hill traffic. This residence is not just a home but a piece of Brislington’s history, awaiting its next custodian.
