Air Balloon Road, St George

"This was our first home and first time in St. George and having outgrown this, it's sad to see it go. We've bought a dog and spend evening's up at Troopers Hill and weekends by the water walking down through Hanham. The garden is a sun trap in the spring/summer for dinners in the garden and coffee's in the morning."

The home

A well-presented two-bedroom semi-detached home on Air Balloon Road, with a neat rendered and brick facade that sits comfortably among the characterful streetscape of St George.
Inside, the generous living room runs the full depth of the ground floor, a bright and sociable space that the current owners have styled with warmth and personality. Colourful artwork lines the walls and a large window at the rear floods the room with natural light. The kitchen, while compact, has been fitted with white units and warm wood-effect worktops, making the most of every inch, with space for freestanding appliances.
Upstairs are two bedrooms. The principal room is a comfortable double with fitted storage and a calm, neutral finish. The second bedroom works well as a guest room or home office, as the current owners use it, with a window overlooking the rear. The bathroom is well-appointed with a shower enclosure, WC and basin.

The outside space

The rear garden is a real asset, running to a good length with a mix of lawn and paved areas. It is enclosed by timber fencing and rendered walls, giving it a private, sunny feel. A pathway leads to a detached garage at the bottom, with rear access to the lane providing off-street parking and useful additional storage.

Living in St George

Air Balloon Road sits just east of St George's Park, one of the city's most popular green spaces, with a children's play area, tennis courts, a cafe, a skate park, and a lake. The area also benefits from great local walks at Troopers Hill and Dundridge Park. Church Road is close by, offering a strong line-up of independents including the Red Church, Orchard Cafe, Bristol Loaf, and The Lock-Up. There are several well-regarded schools nearby, including one just around the corner, making this a popular choice for families. For commuters, the city centre is a short hop by bus, bike, or car, with easy access to Bath, the motorway networks, and Bristol Temple Meads.
