"We've made very happy memories here, whether it's something as simple as appreciating the glow of the winter sun pouring through the south facing windows of the house or the studio/workshop, or perhaps dining on the deck with friends- watching our kids play and seek summer berries to eat from the garden. We've loved living on Dominion Road, the monthly 'Playing Out' street gatherings and friendly neighbours make it a lovely community to be part of."

The Home

This beautifully considered three-bedroom terraced home in Fishponds strikes a rare balance between character and thoughtful modern design. The current owners have approached the renovation with real intent, introducing subtle, well-crafted details that elevate the everyday.
The ground floor flows effortlessly, with an opening through the spine wall creating a natural connection between the living and dining spaces. A newly installed kitchen sits at the heart of the home both practical and elegant with bespoke cabinetry, a sliding pocket door and carefully integrated storage that enhances both form and function. Reclaimed parquet handles and other tactile finishes add a layer of warmth and individuality throughout. Upstairs, three well proportioned bedrooms offer comfortable accommodation, while a stylishly updated family bathroom brings a calm, contemporary feel to the first floor. Every element has been considered, resulting in a home that feels both refined and easy to live in.

Outside Space

To the rear, a south-facing garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to create a peaceful and productive retreat. A wide variety of established fruit trees and soft fruit - from apple and pear to fig and currants bring seasonal interest and a real sense of abundance. At the far end of the garden sits something truly special: a beautifully designed timber-framed, oak-clad studio. Fully insulated and built with full planning permission, it offers exceptional versatility whether as a workspace, creative studio or retreat from the main house. The integration of the original WWII air raid shelter adds a unique and unexpected layer of history, grounding the space in its past while embracing a contemporary future. With rear lane access and a seamless blend of practicality, creativity and outdoor living, this garden elevates the home into something quite unique.
