"I have lived on Park Road for 9 years and have been very happy here, thanks to the friendly community. The house is an 1840s property, originally thought to have belonged to sea captains docking on the nearby river. More recently it's been lovingly and tastefully changed into the home you see today."

The home This three-bedroom cottage from the 1800s brings together period character and modern styling. When purchased, the house was renovated throughout to a modern standard.

Downstairs, there is a dining room that connects to the kitchen. The dining room is a flexible space with a log burner and has played host to many dinner parties and holiday gatherings. The fitted modern kitchen offers both space and style. Next door is the living room, with a large sash window at the front and double patio doors leading to the courtyard at the back.

Upstairs, there are three double bedrooms and the main bathroom. The main bedroom features a fireplace (not currently in use) and large sash windows. In the middle of the upstairs is a modern bathroom, designed to maximise space.

Outdoor space / The garden The cottage benefits from a private walled rear garden and a front garden, perfect for planting thanks to its south-facing position.

Living in Shirehampton This cottage sits on Park Road in a cluster of character homes.

Several bus routes run nearby, including the Portway Park and Ride. The property strikes a balance between a quiet spot and strong connections by road and rail.

Shirehampton itself has a lively high street with the popular Ruby Jeans Caf, a Co-op supermarket, a Post Office, and local pubs. A short drive away are the shops and restaurants of Westbury-on-Trym.

For those who enjoy the outdoors, Shirehampton is well placed for the expansive Blaise Castle Estate and Kings Weston Estate, as well as paths along the River Avon, ideal for dog walkers, runners, and off-road cyclists.
