"We have loved living here, especially having the park on the doorstep as a second back garden! The open plan layout is great for having friends over, it's a brilliant social space."

The home

This two-bedroom Victorian end of terrace home sits right on the edge of Victoria Park. It boasts charming period features and is the only property on the road that still retains its original stone lintel and stained glass above the front door. You enter through the porch into a spacious lounge/diner, which is complete with a log burner for added warmth. In this room, the current owners have exposed the brick chimney breast and restored the original floorboards. The space flows through to an open kitchen that creates a welcoming, social atmosphere, and from here you access the bathroom at the rear of the property. Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms. The rear bedroom offers lovely views over the park, while the front bedroom, typically used as the master, has been beautifully decorated and is currently set up as a studio/music room.

The outside

The garden is accessed from the rear of the kitchen and features a patio, enjoying a sunny South West-facing aspect that makes it a real sun trap. There is also a useful storage shed at the back.

Living in Victoria Park

Montgomery Street is a street of Victorian terraces and is situated in a hugely popular part of Bristol, just on the fringe of Victoria Park and in close proximity to the city centre. The area is ideal for commuters both within Bristol and to the cities beyond through the trains at nearby Temple Meads. The local primary school, Victoria Park, is well thought of locally and along with St Mary Redcliffe has enhanced the appeal of this area and nearby Windmill Hill for young families. Within easy walking distance is The Park Bakery, gastro-pubs such as the Star and Dove, cafes such as the Sundial Kitchen and corner stores, fruit and vegetable sellers such as The Banana Boat and many other shops and restaurants.

Only a short bike-ride away are the music venues, theatres, cocktail bars, and other amenities of North Street in Southville, Wapping Wharf, and the City Centre. Yet this location is quiet and peaceful. For those looking for green space, there are few, if any, better places in Bristol. Victoria Park itself offers approximately 50 acres of large open space with fantastic views of the city. There is also a child's play area, caf and a marked running route for joggers. Perrett's Park, with its beautiful views, is only half a kilometre away.
