Fremantle Road, Bristol

Set in a prestigious Cotham terrace, this elegant Grade II listed Victorian townhouse was built in 1842 and blends historic charm with a versatile and light living space. The central location is within easy reach of Bristol’s most vibrant neighbourhoods.

Tucked behind a mature planted front garden, the home is set back from the street and framed by an iconic striped canopy over the terrace. A few stone steps lead to the front door, opening into a beautifully maintained interior where period features, generous proportions, and considered updates create a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

On the ground floor, the double reception room is flooded with natural light from large sash windows at both ends. Complete with ornate cornicing, soft carpeting, and a working fireplace, it’s a comfortable space for relaxing or entertaining. Built-in shelving sits in the alcoves, and the original folding wooden doors allow for separation when needed, ideal for guests or flexible family living.

The lower ground floor houses a characterful dining room with restored slate flagstone flooring, a second working fireplace, and smart built-in storage. Adjacent, the kitchen is filled with charm, with neutral cabinetry, a striking red tiled splashback, and open shelving. A sash window looks out onto the garden. This property is not short of storage, with an additional built in cupboard in the hallway, and space underneath the stairs currently utilised as a utility area.

The rear garden is a true sanctuary. The lower decked area includes a cleverly concealed outdoor bathtub; a playful and private feature rarely found in the city. Two further sunny, south west facing terraces are beautifully planted, offering a mix of spaces for quiet coffee mornings or summer evening gatherings. A rear gate provides convenient access to the back lane.

Upstairs, the first floor offers two peaceful bedrooms. The principal bedroom at the front of the home, is bright and spacious with original floorboards and period detailing. The rear bedroom enjoys garden views and a sunny aspect as well as useful built-in storage.

Moving up to the top floor, the views from the front of the home get better and better. From the front bedroom, views stretch across Bristol, all the way to the edge of the Cotswolds on a clear day.

This level also hosts an additional bedroom with built in storage. A modern shower room sits between the two bedrooms. There are two loft hatches, one of which leading to a boarded area with a Velux window, allowing for easy roof access for maintenance.

With a total of four bedrooms, two bathrooms, two/three reception rooms, and an abundance of storage, this home offers flexibility for modern family life while retaining all the charm of its Victorian heritage.

Positioned between Stokes Croft and Cotham Hill, the location is second to none, with some of the cities best independent restaurants are within a five minute walk of the front door. The home is well placed for access to the City Centre and has well-regarded schools including Cotham School nearby.

This is a rare opportunity to own an quietly grand home with timeless appeal.
