We have loved living here. The street is quiet and neighbourly, whilst also having the benefit of the many amenities and transport links on Church Road. We are sandwiched between the green spaces of St George Park (looking out to the trees from the back of the house is lovely) and Avonview Cemetery. We have other nearby opportunities for walks in nature at Trooper's Hill, along the river and St Anne's woods as well as being in easy reach of the city centre. The best of both worlds!<br/><br/>The home<br/>A charming Victorian terrace on Hedwick Avenue, arranged over three floors and offering two double bedrooms, a versatile loft room and a sunny, tiered rear garden, all brimming with period character.<br/>Entrance is through a hallway laid with traditional patterned tiles, leading to the front reception room. The lounge is a bright and welcoming space, centred on a fireplace with a timber surround, with stripped wooden floorboards underfoot and elegant coving overhead. A bay window fitted with plantation shutters draws in plenty of light, while alcove shelving on either side of the chimney breast offers room for books and display. The dining room sits at the centre of the house, with a bold orange feature wall giving it real personality, and there's room for a family dining table along with a sofa, making it a sociable spot for everyday living. Handy understairs storage completes the space. To the rear, the kitchen is fitted with cream cabinetry, wooden worktops, a gas hob and open shelving, and leads through to a useful utility room, with French doors opening straight out to the garden.<br/>Upstairs, the first floor offers two double bedrooms and the family bathroom. The main bedroom sits to the front, a generous and light filled room with twin windows, wooden floorboards and fitted wardrobe storage. The second bedroom, to the rear, is a cheerful space with an original cast iron fireplace, fitted shelving in the alcove and a built in cupboard, currently styled as a child's room. The bathroom is fitted with a bath with shower over, pedestal basin and WC, with a window bringing in natural light.<br/>A staircase rises to the second floor, where the loft room offers a bright and characterful additional space, with sloped ceilings, Velux skylights and useful eaves storage. It makes a brilliant home office, hobby room or guest space, with room for a desk area alongside.<br/>The outside space<br/>To the rear, the garden has been cleverly arranged over levels, with steps rising from the utility room to a raised timber deck, framed by wooden balustrades. It's a lovely spot for a bistro table and chairs, catching the sun with open views across the neighbouring rooftops. Raised beds spill over with flowering planting and established shrubs, softening the space and giving it a relaxed, green feel.<br/>Living in St George<br/>Hedwick Avenue is a residential road close to the ever-popular Church Road, an area with so much to offer. Nearby St George's Park is one of the city's most popular parks, providing a kids play area, tennis courts, a cafe, a skate park and a lake. The area has many exciting independent shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants, like the very popular Native Vine, Red Church and The Bristol Loaf.<br/>The shops and cafes of Easton are also easily accessible via the Bristol to Bath cycle path, including Staple Bakery, Garden of Easton and Bristol Sweet Mart. There are several well-regarded schools in the area, meaning this is a popular spot with families. For commuters, it's a short journey into Bristol city centre by bus, bike or car, whilst also being just a short drive from Bath and the motorway networks. From this side of the city centre, Bristol Temple Meads is just a short journey away.<br/><br/>
