"What we’ve loved most about our home is its balance of charm and cosiness. The Victorian features, high ceilings, and natural light, whether morning sun in the kitchen or sunsets through the stained glass are beautiful. The long garden with its open feel is a rare find in the city. We’ve built great friendships with our neighbours, and the cycle path has been a joy, leading to fields or town within minutes. With Fishponds blossoming into a vibrant area, leaving now feels bittersweet."

This home is situated on Lodore Road, at the heart of the hugely popular Thingwall Park neighbourhood of Fishponds, on the edge of expansive green space surrounding the Frome Valley. The open feel to the area is rarely found in such a relatively central city location with an abundance of greenery, trees and wildlife on the doorstep for residents of this area. The area has a strong sense of community with a wealth of local events and groups to join. Eastville Park is home to a range of facilities including tennis courts and a bowls green as well as indoor community space. Just beyond Eastville Park, a short walk away is also Greenbank, home to the popular Greenbank Cemetery, great for exploring, but also home to some brilliant independent shops and cafes like Este’s and Matter Wholefoods. Fishponds has seen several cafés established nearby, becoming very popular, such as Mi Cafe Su, The Crafty Egg and FED. Snuffy Jacks is a great local micro-pub on Fishponds Road high street whilst Irish pub The Star, a five-minute walk from the property, is a well-regarded historic venue, home to live music and the accolade of ‘best pint of Guinness in Bristol’. For commuters, Fishponds is very convenient with ease of access to the M32 and M4 motorways, as well as being a short cycle, drive or bus journey into the city centre or to large areas of employment across North Bristol. The area benefits from several tarmacked cycle paths which provide traffic free routes into the City Centre, or out towards the suburbs, Keynsham and Bath.

Crafted to an impeccable standard, a remarkable example of a Victorian terrace on one of Fishponds finest roads. With each room showcasing its own distinct style, the attention to detail on display within the interior is unmatched, creating a beautiful family home that is both alluring and functional. Entrance is into a vestibule, leading into a traditional hallway with a staircase along the left hand side. Next is the living room, boasting deep navy walls to create a dramatic yet inviting atmosphere, contrasting beautifully with notable period features, such as intricate cornices, picture rails and dominating bay window. Progressing through the ground floor, you find the kitchen/dining area, a great space for entertaining and daily family life. A bay window elegantly looks upon the rear garden, whilst the central island acts as the hub of the room. A lobby area leads to a utility room, with an exit to the garden and access to the first of two bathrooms. The first of which features a bath, ideal for a family with young children. The garden is substantial in size, facing south east & capturing a superb amount of sunlight throughout the day and into the early afternoon. A large patio initially greets you, leading to a well manicured lawn. Beyond is a recently built wooden pergola, ideal for alfresco dining, leading to a wild garden, proven to be an ideal environment for growing various vegetables.

The upstairs exudes charm and comfort, yet again carefully blending period features with modern design. The primary bedroom boasts high ceilings, two tone decoration, and large windows that flood the space with natural light. The two additional bedrooms are equally inviting, with tasteful décor, ample storage, and the characteristically spacious feel of Victorian properties. A sleek, contemporary bathroom with walk in shower completes the first floor. The house also offers great potential for expansion, with a spacious loft that could be converted into multiple rooms to further enhance the property.
