2 bed terraced house for sale

Rene Road, Easton BS5

"The house has been a wonderful home- spacious, bright & airy. We’ve loved the social open-plan kitchen & dining room - or ‘everything room’, as we call it. Cool in the summer with the patio doors opening to the back garden, but super cosy in the winter with the wood-burner. We loved waking up with sun streaming in the master bedroom & then catching it at the end of the day in the garden. The street itself is quiet of traffic & full of lovely neighbours. There’s a real community feel."

The house

This charming two-bedroom Victorian terrace in Easton offers a lovely blend of period character and everyday practicality, thoughtfully finished throughout with a keen eye for quality and sustainability.

The living room sits at the front of the house, with a bay window drawing in plenty of natural light and full-height fitted bookshelves lining one wall - a cosy, characterful spot for relaxing or reading. Wood flooring runs through much of the ground adding to the homely feel underfoot.
To the rear, the kitchen/dining room is a real highlight. A part-glazed roof floods the space with light, while the walls have been finished in a deep matt natural clay paint for a soft, breathable finish. Practical walnut shelving with steel-rod supports offers sturdy, creating characterful storage. Further character is added to the room with beautiful, porcelain wall lights and an original aga wood burner, creating a cosy atmosphere in the winter. A large central table makes it just as good for cooking as it is for hosting, and the glazed doors opening straight out onto the garden blurs the line between inside and out. A handy pantry off the hallway adds further storage.

Upstairs, both bedrooms are well-proportioned doubles - the larger to the front benefiting from a walk-in wardrobe & underfoot draught-proofing for extra comfort in winter, and the second offering a comfortable double with room to spare for a desk or wardrobes.

Chain-free property.

The outside space

The garden is a real suntrap of a spot - a paved and gravelled courtyard, sheltered by brick and stone walls, softened with established climbing greenery. It has a private, tucked-away feel, with room for outdoor seating and everyday planting, making it an easy space to enjoy without demanding much upkeep.
