House For Sale £415,000
Heron Road, Easton

"It's hard to pick a favourite part of the house because it feels so different at different times of the year, and even different times of the day. In the summer it's great to have the light pouring in, and having all the doors open, which makes the space feel huge. In the winter, the space can also feel incredibly cosy. This property has been a real labour of love and we've really enjoyed being here".

Heron Road is positioned centrally in Easton and is largely made up of bay-fronted Victorian homes. Easton is a popular pocket of Bristol, being so close to the city centre and easily accessible by foot, bike, by road and by train. The Bristol to Bath Cycle Path is a particularly pleasant route for those travelling into the centre. At the same time, its proximity to both the M32 and the A431 to Bath make it an ideal spot for many. Easton is by no means, however, a dormitory neighbourhood and offers an abundance of community areas, events and activities and Heron Road is central in this hugely popular area. Nearby, St Marks Road boasts a number of Bristol's finest independent shops and restaurants, such as Bristol Sweet Mart and the Thali Café, Garden of Easton, No.12 Café and the recently opened micro coffee roastery and café Radical Roasters. The nearest primary school is Bannerman Road Community Academy, with other nearby schools such as Whitehall and May Park also very well-regarded locally, further enhancing the appeal of the area to families.

Sold with no onward chain, this mid-terraced Victorian home has been caringly updated and maintained by the current vendors to create an enticing prospect, boasting substantial room sizes and impeccable attention to detail. Pops of colour and the grand ceiling heights are both striking and inviting, producing a welcoming atmosphere. Entrance is into a traditional hallway, leading to the open plan living/dining room, which tastefully contrasts soft pink and bold navy décor, seamlessly blending with the reinstated period features, such as the picture rails, bay windows and chimney breasts. The recently completed renovation work has opened-up the ground floor, seamlessly linking, living/dining room and kitchen with a new continuous engineered oak floor that creates an open plan feel. Bi-folding doors lead to the garden, which blends a low-maintenance patio area and lawn, capturing plenty of evening sun. The kitchen is fitted to a high specification, sourced from Magnet, and is elevated by designer handles and kitchen tap by Dowsing & Reynolds. Upstairs are three double bedrooms and a three-piece bathroom suite. The primary bedroom spans the width of the property with original wooden floorboards running underfoot. Adjacent is the second bedroom, providing plenty of floor space, with a window looking upon the garden. The accommodation is then completed with a third and final bedroom, at the rear of the property, next to the bathroom.

Sustainability, and energy efficiency has been a key part of the recent updates to the property, with a focus on limiting concrete and plastics. The ground floor, which has been entirely replaced, has been insulated. New period sash style UPC windows have been installed to the front to the property and powder coated aluminium to the rear the back of the property has also been insulated with a high quality environmentally friendly mycelial insulation. The Worcester Bosch Greenstar boiler, chosen for energy efficiency, can also be controlled remotely for convenience.
