"A beautiful Victorian flat just a minute from Fishponds Road, the convenience of the location is excellent."

The home

This first-floor apartment is accessed via a communal hallway with stairs leading to the main entrance. A welcoming internal hallway opens into a spacious open-plan living/kitchen area, featuring a bay window to the front and a recently refitted kitchen complete with new integrated appliances. To the rear of the apartment is a well-proportioned double bedroom and a contemporary bathroom. The property is light and airy throughout and is offered to the market with no onward chain.

The location

This apartment is situated on Lodore Road, at the heart of the hugely popular Thingwall Park neighbourhood of Fishponds, on the edge of expansive green space surrounding the Frome Valley. The open feel to the area is rarely found in such a relatively central city location with an abundance of greenery, trees and wildlife on the doorstep for residents of this area. The area has a strong sense of community with a wealth of local events and groups to join. Eastville Park is home to a range of facilities including tennis courts and a bowls green as well as indoor community space. Just beyond Eastville Park, a short walk away is also Greenbank, home to the popular Greenbank Cemetery, great for exploring, but also home to some brilliant independent shops and cafes like Este's and Matter Wholefoods. Fishponds has seen several cafs established nearby, becoming very popular, such as Mi Cafe Su, The Crafty Egg and FED. Snuffy Jacks is a great local micro-pub on Fishponds Road high street whilst Irish pub The Star, a five-minute walk from the property, is a well-regarded historic venue, home to live music and the accolade of 'best pint of Guinness in Bristol'. For commuters, Fishponds is very convenient with ease of access to the M32 and M4 motorways, as well as being a short cycle, drive or bus journey into the city centre or to large areas of employment across North Bristol. The area benefits from several tarmacked cycle paths which provide traffic free routes into the City Centre, or out towards the suburbs, Keynsham and Bath.
