Burns Cottage, named after the poet, was built around 1820. It's a cottage that's perfect for entertaining, and we've loved being so close to St George's Park and Church Road, and being easily connected to the rest of the city.

Easton is renowned for its distinctive character and community spirit, and boasts a host of local amenities, attractions and community events that draw many visitors from outside the area. The area is well connected to the city centre and beyond by bike, road and train. Stapleton Road train station is less than a ten-minute walk away, offering easy transit to Temple Meads, Redland, as well as Clifton Downs. The M32 and the A431 to Bath are both easily accessible. The area is also home to a number of Bristol's finest independent shops and eateries, hugely popular with locals and visitors alike. Just five minutes away, St Marks Road has Bristol Sweet Mart, Thali Café, East Bristol Bakery, and The Garden of Easton. Also close by are No 12 Café, The Greenbank pub, Este Kitchen, Matter Wholefoods, and Public Market. This house is a nine-minute walk away from Whitehall Primary School that is consistently rated 'outstanding' by Ofsted, while May Park is a similarly well-regarded local option. Also close by are Easton Leisure Centre, Easton Cowboys and Cowgirls Sports Club and the Bristol Hawks Gymnastics Club, a city-wide family activity attraction. The area offers a surprising wealth of green spaces including the Greenbank Cemetery, the parks at Eastville and St George, and riverside walks along the nearby Frome Valley, and just minutes from the house is the locally cherished Bristol to Bath Cycle Path, ideal for commuting quickly into the city centre or just for weekend strolls, long runs or bike rides.

This two-bedroom cottage was built around 1820. Robert Southey lived in a large house that once stood behind, and would entertain other poets, hence the naming of this terrace of worker's cottages and this one - Burns Cottage. The home is beautifully presented, leading up to the front door is a small beautiful garden offering tranquillity as you step away from the road. Entering the property you're met with a welcoming sense of cosiness. The living room off the hallway, at the front of the property has a beautiful original fireplace, and looks out onto the leafy front garden and tree fern. The secondary reception room, has a large dining table that is included with the property and a log burner. The room is the centre of the home and leads to the cottage kitchen and also out to the courtyard garden with a custom-built traditional pizza oven, raised flower beds and a decking area. There is also a storage space suitable for tools and bikes. The recently renovated kitchen boasts contemporary cabinetry and hardware with Iroko worktops, and a large window out to the courtyard.

Upstairs there is a good-sized landing housing a very large linen cupboard. There are two equally sized bedrooms and a generously sized bathroom with eye-catching emerald tiling and William Morris wallpaper. There is loft access from the landing.
