3 bed terraced house for sale

Victoria Park, Fishponds BS16

"This house has been our home for nearly eleven years and has been a wonderful space for our everyday living and for gatherings of family and friends. The area has an amazing community feel, we have really appreciated our friendly and helpful neighbours. We love the range of cafe's and restaurants in Fishponds. The park at the end of the street has fond memories of us taking our two year old grandchild there. And then there is the Bristol to Bath cycle path close by, a real treasure."

The home

A thoughtfully updated three-bedroom Victorian terrace set along the sought-after Victoria Park, offering generous proportions, natural light, and a layout that works as well day-to-day as it does for hosting. The house opens into a long entrance hall, setting the tone with its sense of space and period character, benefitting from a downstairs shower room before you enter the kitchen. At the front, the living room boasts a bay window fitted with shutters and a wood-burning stove set within the chimney breast, a comfortable, well-proportioned room that feels settled rather than staged. To the rear, the kitchen and dining space has been opened out to create a more social, connected part of the home. The kitchen itself is practical and well-considered, with plenty of storage and a central island, while the dining area offers full-width bi-folding doors opening directly onto the garden, bringing in a good quality of light throughout the day. Upstairs, three bedrooms are arranged across the first floor. The main bedroom spans the full width at the front, with two further double bedrooms offering flexibility depending on how the space is needed. The bathroom has been finished with a more modern approach, including a walk-in shower and darker tiling, giving it a distinct feel from the rest of the house. In total, the property offers around 1,400 sq ft, with a layout that balances open, shared spaces with quieter rooms.

The outside space

Outside, the garden which faces east has a relaxed, established feel. It’s been designed for low maintenance without losing character, with a mix of decking, gravel and planting, along with a number of seating areas that catch the sun at different times of day.
