House For Sale £365,000
Summer Hill, Totterdown, Bristol, BS4

Cj Hole Brislington are delighted to welcome to the sales market this two double bedroom Victorian cottage in Totterdown.

"The uniqueness of 14 Summer Hill and its location are what attracted to us to buy the property and are what have also kept us based there for so many years. The property stood out from others we viewed due to it offering a double-fronted ‘cottage-like’ feel whilst close to the heart of the city. With the property’s warm and welcoming character indoors, and its own slice of paradise in the sun-trapped garden outdoors, it has you covered for all seasons and occasions.

The quirky and colour-filled Totterdown, and our friendly neighbours, put a smile on your face whenever you walk out the door (or look out the windows!) and the house has been so convenient for all aspects of our lives. There is unrestricted street parking in Summer Hill and the surrounding streets. The pubs, shops and cafes/restaurants (in and around Wells Rd) are just around the corner, with the beautiful local parks (Arnos Vale, Perrett Park and Victoria Park) a few minutes further on foot. The property is very conveniently located for access to Temple Meads and the City (10-15 minutes on foot) and is very close to bus links on Wells Road/Bath Road. Much regeneration has been (and continues to be) undertaken in the local area since we bought the property. More and more older housing in the locality is being renovated to a high standard to bring out its character, and some sympathetic new properties have been built in places also."

The house itself is an old Victorian cottage that was once reputedly used as a sweetshop. It is in a good condition with renovations and finishes sympathetic to the character of the home. Several older features have been enhanced, such as the wooden floorboards, whilst being balanced with clever modern enhancements such as double-glazed windows, a modern kitchen/diner and shower room. The layout to the ground floor gives the occupant a cosy living room whilst also offering a through kitchen/diner which allows access out to a courtyard garden. The garden has an westerly-facing aspect but is open to the sun in the south. Upstairs, the house has two double bedrooms with amazing views towards the city.

Summer Hill is placed to the east of Totterdown and close to the beautiful Arnos Vale Cemetery and at the top of a set of steps from Bath Road, close to Paintworks. 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. 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.
