House For Sale £400,000
Franklyn Street, St Pauls

"We have loved our time on Franklyn Street, and the labour of love to make the house our own, installing a new kitchen and bathroom, restoring Victorian features and landscaping the garden. It's close to town, Gloucester Road and Stokes Croft, with loads of independent restaurants and bars in walking distance. It's a really friendly street with an active WhatsApp chat. The beautiful back garden has been a peaceful green oasis amongst the hustle and bustle of the city."

Franklyn Street is a residential street located in St Pauls, within easy reach of the ever-popular eateries and restaurants of Cheltenham Road and Gloucester Road, such as The Bristolian and The Crafty Egg, as well as the smaller high streets such as Picton Street in Montpelier and Mina Road in St Werburghs, which offer their own selection of popular independent bars and attractions. For commuters, the home is extremely well placed for a short walk or cycle into Bristol City Centre. Buses run frequently up and down the A38 and train transport is available across the city via nearby Montpelier and Stapleton Road train stations. For those looking for access to green space, there is St Agnes Park within a short walk.

A thoughtfully renovated and substantial period home on a quiet cul-de-sac in St Pauls, with each room offering its own charm and distinctive style, not often seen on the open market. Meticulous use of material and colour within the refurbishment means Franklyn Street offers a welcoming home, with the vibrancy and character to match. Beginning in the front reception room, parque herringbone flooring immediately grabs your attention, which balances well with the bold feature wall and period features, which include the bay window and chimney breast with fireplace. Moving through the floorplan, you find the second reception room, decorated with striking wallpaper and oak flooring underfoot. The central mantlepiece with exposed brick is a satisfying touch, along with the picture rails and pleasant view onto the rear garden from the window. The kitchen/dining room is an elegant blend of softer colours, mosaic flooring and a restored shaker style kitchen, with dark green tiles surrounding the countertops. At the rear, is a quaint breakfast area, brimming with natural light from the multiple doors and window frames, which leads to the easy to maintain, but luscious green garden which faces in a north-westerly direction. This aspect is ideal for afternoon and evening sun, and the garden further benefits from space for storage alongside the kitchen and has a rear gate to a back lane. Progressing to the first floor, much of the style and vibrancy is mirrored from the ground floor, and at the top of the staircase is the eye catching three piece bathroom suite, with stripped wooden floorboards. The primary bedroom spans the width of the property and displays bright pastel colours, cleverly combining with the wooden floorboard, and the vast natural light the room absorbs. The interior is concluded with the second double bedroom, adjacent to the primary room, with yellow tones and useful alcove storage.
