Vendor's Comments - "We’ve loved living by St Andrews Park for its peaceful, friendly atmosphere and sense of community. The park is right on your doorstep, which is perfect for walks, kids to play, or relaxing in the sun soaking up the atmosphere. Everything you need is nearby, great schools
urseries, independent shops, great cafes, and everything the lively Gloucester Road has to offer. It’s been a wonderful place to raise a family and feel connected, while still being close to the heart of the city.

The house itself is great for entertaining friends, as there are always enough places for everyone to stay, and the garden lends itself to lovely BBQs in the summer months. The mural on the wall is always a highlight for guests and giving it that truly authentic Bristol vibe."

Ground Floor - Notable for its impressive size and abundance of natural light flooding the space, the hallway provides a grand entrance with tall ceilings, feature fireplace, storage cupboard and staircase leading to the first floor.

The sitting room is a smart and impressive space, improved by the current owners and features a large bay window facing the park, wooden flooring, cornicing, ceiling rose, a fireplace with a mantelpiece surround, built-in cabinets and book shelves in the chimney breast recesses - all complemented by modern tones.

Blessed with natural light and combining attractive original features with modern fixtures and fittings, the centre piece of the property is the open-plan kitchen/lounge-diner located to the rear of the property.

Location - St. Andrews offers a distinct urban bohemian character with a strong sense of community. With Gloucester Road on its western edge, you'll have an array of charming independent cafes, restaurants, pubs, and shops readily available.

This isn't just a place to live; it's a vibrant community. Street parties and events, organised by local businesses and groups, are a common occurrence, fostering a truly exciting and connected atmosphere.

At the heart of it all is St. Andrew's Park. This cherished green space on a grassy slope provides a peaceful refuge from city life. Whether it's for a picnic, a local concert, or fun at the adventure playground and paddling pool, the park is a highly valued amenity and a source of local pride.

The majority of homes here are 19th-century builds. While some have been thoughtfully converted into apartments, attracting young professionals, the un-converted single residences are highly sought-after. The grander homes surrounding the park and the charming terraces close to excellent primary schools are particularly coveted, making St. Andrew's a truly fashionable and desirable Bristol neighbourhood.
