Wellington Avenue, Montpelier

"Living here has been the perfect balance of city life and escapism for us. Being in Montpelier means there’s great food, pubs and community all around the corner, but with this house it’s always felt like once you shut the front door you can leave all that behind and recharge in a calm beautiful space. Whether that’s with a morning coffee in the sun on the kitchen window seat, lighting the stove on a winter night, or one of the many great dinners we’ve enjoyed with friends around the table."

Wellington Avenue sits in a fantastic position within Montpelier, close to St Pauls, Cotham and Stokes Croft. Residents of this immediate area are within easy reach of shops, bars and cafés of Cheltenham Road and Gloucester Road. All within a short walk, The Bristolian, Café Kino and The Crafty Egg offer a range of café options, whilst local pubs such as The Cadbury and The Star and Garter serving great Bristol beer from nearby Bristol breweries. Picton Street is also so close, with Bianchis, Thali Cafe and Wangs a stone's throw away. For commuters, the area is extremely well placed for a short walk or cycle into Bristol City Centre. Buses run frequently along the A38 and train transport is available across the city and to Bristol Temple Meads via nearby Montpelier train station. For those looking for access to green space, the house is just a short walk from St Andrews Park and the Narroways Nature Reserve in St Werburghs, whilst getting out to the country via the nearby M32 or Temple Meads train station is also straightforward. For schools, the highly rated Fairlawn Primary School is a relatively short walk away. In terms of secondary, Montpelier High School Girls Academy and Cotham Secondary School are within one mile.

Expertly crafted and displaying immense attention to detail, a charming Victorian home on Wellington Avenue, benefitting from a bathroom and kitchen extension, with a triple-glazed glass side return, and a light airy loft room. The front façade of the property is nothing short of beautiful, and a testament for what is to follow. A traditional hallway leads to the opened living/dining area, boasting pops of colour and retained period detail, including ceiling cornice and bay windows. At the back of the dining room is an opening to the bespoke kitchen, fitted out with birch plywood cabinetry, that connects to the garden through a full-height glass sliding door. The garden faces north-east, catching the morning sun and offers rear gated access. The sellers have also installed a secure bike storage unit, included in the sale. Heading to the first floor, you find two large double bedrooms, mirroring the ground floor in terms of style and grandeur. The family bathroom is contemporary, featuring more bespoke cabinetry. The second and final floor houses the loft room, with a spacious floorplan and three Velux windows creating a beautiful light space with views out across Montpelier. This room has just seen a complete renovation as well, with storage cupboards making full use of the eaves space and birch plywood panelling, which along with the bold feature wall further enhances the ambience and connects the space with the ground floor in the same design language.
