Somerset Street, Kingsdown BS2

"Somerset Street and Kingsdown is a hidden gem; the old, cobbled streets and multicoloured houses have been an absolute joy to live amongst. Within walking distance of all that city has to offer, our first Bristol home is going to be hard to beat. Coming home to a view overlooking the skyline always takes our breath away, it's a unique privilege to call this place home."

Somerset Street is a beautiful cobbled street that runs along the brow of Kingsdown’s hill, giving panoramic views across the city and the Avon valley towards Bath and to the hills of Landsdowne to the east and Dundry to the west. This house is one of the many original Georgian houses built here by Bristol merchants in the early 18th century, to be close to the city centre but above its noise and bustle. Kingsdown has, over the intervening years, become a harmonious blend of Georgian, Victorian and later, newer builds and is also home to much of the University and its hospitals. To the south is the whole of the City Centre, a fifteen minute walk away; to the east is the Gloucester Road with all its independent shops and eateries; or, walking north through Cotham and Redland, you can reach Clifton and the huge expanse of The Downs. Somerset Street has small parks at each end and is surrounded by tree-lined streets and avenues as well as other green spaces such as those at Redland Church and the university gardens on St Michael’s Hill. The local pubs are all thriving, including The Kingsdown Wine Vaults, The Hare on the Hill, The Hillgrove Porter Stores, the Cotham Porter Stores and The Green Man and the Michelin starred restaurant, the Bulrush, is just round the corner. Caper and Cure, at the bottom of Nine Tree Hill, is another excellent restaurant and there are any number of bars, restaurants and shops on Cotham Hill, Stokes Croft, Gloucester Road, St Michael’s Hill and Whiteladies Road, all within walking distance.
