"Charlton House has been a wonderful home to us and our two little boys. We will always cherish memories of an incredible community and the many doorstep conversations with friends and neighbours here. The house holds a unique place in Totterdown history as a corner shop since the 1880s; older locals often share the stories of buying sweeties before school when they were kids! As our growing family needs mean we sadly need to move on, we know the new home owners will be welcomed with open arms."
School Road is a quiet residential street just off of Wells Road, this house is just minutes from other prevalent local amenities such as Fox and West Deli, Bank Restaurant, Acapella and Southside Bar, with its indoor and outdoor seating and serving local craft beers. Hillcrest Primary School is opposite the home and with an extremely limited catchment area, the home is ideally positioned to attend. There is an abundance of green space on your doorstep and around Totterdown, with Arnos Vale Victorian garden cemetery with the café at its heart; the incredible views of Perrett's Park; as well as the 50 acres of Victoria Park all within a short walk.
