Balmain Street, Totterdown

'The small south-west facing garden is an oasis of calm and amazingly quiet given our proximity to the centre of town. It is lovely sitting outside in the evening sun, and enjoying a glass of wine and barbeque. Thanks to the lawn we laid a few years back we get lots of birds visiting the garden. Arnos Vale cemetery and park is just a short walk away. the cemetery is full of amazing Victorian monuments, has a lovely cafe and occasionally hosts small classical concerts, and theatre productions. It is also a wildlife reserve, and has a lovely "wild" aesthetic; wondering round it you can completely forget that you're in the middle of a city! There are plenty of other lovely parks nearby, including Perret's Park which is ideal for watching the hot air balloons from the annual Bristol Ballon Fiesta fly across the city. We cycle or walk into town and make the most of so many live music venues and restaurants. The local independent shops, cafes and bars on Wells Road are excellent; we love evening drinks at Southside bar, pizza at Acappella, and the best fish & chips from Farrows. The neighbourhood is very friendly and welcoming, and people look out for each other. We have lived here for 16 years and are moving just a short distance away as we love the location.'

Balmain Street is placed to the east of Totterdown and adjacent to the beautiful Arnos Vale Cemetery. This quiet street has the best of both worlds, with a fantastic array of cafes, restaurants and independent shops on Wells Road, as well as the open green spaces of South Bristol. Places on Wells Road, such as Fox & West, an independent cafe and greengrocers selling a diversity of local produce, Bank, Totterdown Canteen and Farrow's Fish & Chips offer some of the best options in the city. Green spaces are in plentiful supply, with Arnos Vale being an idyllic Victorian garden cemetery with the cafe run by the trust at its heart, the incredible views from Perrett Park, as well as the 50 acres of Victoria Park. Totterdown offers easy access to and from the city, with Bath Road offering an easy link to Bath, the Portway taking you to the M5 and the M32 to the M4 and beyond. Temple Meads Train Station is also a short walk or cycle away, offering connections nationally. Travelling southwards, you find yourself in the Mendips, an area of outstanding natural beauty.
