Three-bedroom 'sanctuary' in 'incredible' location perfect for dog walks and local landmarks

A three-bedroom property described as a 'sanctuary' by its current owner is on the market. Located in the heart of Southville, the property sits very close to the bridge across the River Avon to Wapping Wharf and its array of restaurants and cafes.

The current owner says: "I fell in love with this house as soon as I walked in. It has always felt like a sanctuary to me. The location is incredible, the neighbours have been wonderful and the house itself was so great for having friends round and just relaxing.

"As I work from home, it was really lovely to have a space that I could close off at the end of the day, too. Also, for running and dog walking, you have the harbour and Victoria Park really close, not to mention Leigh Woods and Ashton Court. Popping to Wapping Wharf is so easy and having the M Shed and Arnolfini so nearby is absolutely incredible if you have little children.”

The home is on the market for a price of £625,000. It's described by estate agents at Boardwalk as being a 'charming' semi-detached home on Alpha Road with off-street parking. On entry, you are welcomed by a 'spacious open hallway' with the staircase immediately to your left and a door beneath the stairs leading to the basement room.

The solid wood floorboards lead you into the open-plan living space. Located at the front you'll find the living room with a large window overlooking the mature front gardens. The lounge benefits from a log burner and " an abundance of natural light filling the room from the front and back of the property".

The kitchen is open to the living room and features a breakfast bar with in-built storage. The kitchen also includes marble-style granite workshops, matte units, and integrated appliances such as an induction hob, double oven and dishwasher.

There is a dining area next to the kitchen with a large window overlooking the garden, and there are double doors leading to a useful storage area with a skylight. The garden, which boasts raised flowerbeds, is described as being 'a great size for a growing family, offering both lawn and patio for seating'.

As you walk up to the first floor, you are greeted by a spacious landing, with a window and skylights 'brightening up the hallway'. From here you can access both double bedrooms, each with built-in-wardrobes.

The family-sized bathroom has been tiled throughout and includes a shower over bath and heated towel rail. View more images below or visit Boardwalk's website to find out more and arrange a viewing.
