"Having Gloucester Road on the doorstep is something I'll really miss. Weekend mornings are perfect for grabbing a coffee from a local café and picking up fresh food from the independent shops. There's a real sense of community, and I always bump into a familiar face."
The Home
A beautifully presented split level one-bedroom top floor apartment offering over 600 sq ft of light and well-balanced accommodation. Occupying the upper floors of this attractive period building, the property benefits from an impressive open-plan living space, a generous double bedroom and a modern bathroom.
The bedroom is positioned on the first floor of the apartment and is a comfortable double, enjoying pleasant views to the rear, a large built-in wardrobe and access to useful loft storage.
Stairs lead to the top floor where the apartment really comes into its own. You will find open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, with windows to three elevations allowing natural light to flood in throughout the day. The layout naturally creates distinct areas for cooking, dining and relaxing and working, making it a fantastic everyday living space. The modern kitchen provides ample storage and worktop space, whilst the air conditioning ensures the room remains comfortable all year round.
The accommodation is completed by a well-appointed bathroom featuring a walk-in shower, skylight and built-in storage, with space for a washing machine.
The Outside
To the rear of the building is a low-maintenance communal garden with a south-westerly aspect, providing a pleasant outdoor space to enjoy during the warmer months. The garden is enclosed and accessed via a secure gate.
Living in Bishopston
Cranbrook Road is an attractive residential street of Victorian homes just a short walk from Gloucester Road, which is world famous for its wide array of independent shops, cafés and pubs, including popular stops such as the Gallimaufry, Coffee Lab and games café Chance & Counters. A number of green spaces are nearby such as St Andrews Park, and slightly further afield, Horfield Common. In a westerly direction, residents can easily reach Westbury Park, Redland and Henleaze (home to Scott Cinemas and great pubs like Cambridge Arms and Westbury Park Tavern), whilst also providing access to The Downs.
For those looking to commute into work, buses run regularly along Gloucester Road and offer easy access to the City Centre and all major employment areas such as Temple Quay and Temple Meads (where trains run regularly into London). Likewise, going north leads directly to Filton (where large employers such as Airbus, Aviva, and the Ministry of Defence have their offices), and Bristol Parkway Train Station, the second largest in Bristol. Finally, the property sits within the catchment of some of the most highly sought after schools in Bristol, such as Bishop Road Primary and Redland Green Secondary.
