2 bed flat for sale

Edward Street, Eastville BS5

"We love getting cosy on the sofa in front of the log burner in winter, the greenery and peace of the garden looking out to the nature reserve on the viaduct (sometimes goats graze here too!) and being so close to Greenbank cemetery and Eastville Park with local shops of Easton walking distance too"

The flat

This garden flat between Greenbank and Eastville has been beautifully transformed over the last five years. With creative use of space, characterful interiors & a focus on sustainability throughout, this would be a dream home for anyone looking to live in East Bristol with easy access to the centre.

The flat has a private entrance which leads through a long corridor, providing excellent space for storage, into the main living space. This is the heart of the home, with original wooden floorboards, warm tones and enough space to create a sense of separation between dining & living room. It's a great space for hosting, with French doors opening onto the south-facing garden, as well as cosy evenings in by the restored log-burner. A thoughtfully crafted centrepiece made from birch plywood houses the pantry, breakfast bar & fridge/freezer, and blends seamlessly into the living space. Following on, the kitchen sits neatly in the corner of the flat, tastefully designed with wooden cabinetry & shelves and white tiles contrasting with pops of colour.

The bathroom sits just off the living space. It's a generous size for a flat, with a freestanding bath & separate shower, cork flooring, cream tones & a window looking out into the garden.

The two bedrooms are off the kitchen. Both are generous doubles, with the larger of the two having enough space to accommodate a study/work-from-home setup. This front bedroom receives lots of natural light with two windows, whilst the back bedroom stays pleasantly cool in the summer months thanks to its side-facing aspect. Both are thoughtfully designed, with good use of space throughout.

No ground rent / service charge.

The outside space

The south-facing garden is a highlight of the property. Direct views over the Royate Nature Reserve enhance the feeling of being in nature & create a sense of privacy. It has been re-landscaped to include a patio, bike/tool shed, a raised bed and a lawn at the back. It's a clever use of space, creating multi-functionality and a genuinely lovely garden.
