"We love taking a stroll to St Marks Road, browsing the amazing variety of independent shops and getting a coffee at the Garden of Easton. On days like these we often end up walking to Greenbank Cemetery, a beautiful space with diverse trees and grassy spots to picnic on. We often walk on to Eastville Park, where we pick wild garlic in the Spring, and walk along the river to Snuff Mills until meandering back along the same route."
The flat
A charming two-bed garden flat in a converted Victorian house in Easton. As you enter, the bay-windowed living room immediately sets the tone — a generous, light-filled space with a beautiful original fireplace and plenty of period character. The kitchen runs along the side of the flat and has been updated with sage green shaker-style units, with room for a dining table, making it a warm and practical everyday space. Both bedrooms are well-proportioned, and the bathroom has a full-sized bath with shower over. The flat has real character throughout and has been loved by its current owners. There is scope for a buyer to update and personalise, but it is perfectly comfortable as it stands.
Criss-cross lease
The outside space
The rear garden is one of this flat's best features. Walled on both sides and unusually generous for a property of this type, it has clearly been looked after - with established fruit trees, raised beds and wildflowers, it feels more like a cottage garden than an urban plot.
