Rookery Road, Knowle

"Since moving into Rookery Road we have welcomed two children and it’s been a great place to start our family. Knowle is still close to the centre with great bus links from Wells Road and pleasant cycles into town, but it immediately felt peaceful from the moment we moved in. Sitting in the tranquil garden with big trees behind doesn’t feel urban at all and the view over Bristol to the suspension bridge lets you soak up the city without the noise and stress."

The house is situated on Rookery Road, just beyond the top left corner of the brilliant Perretts Park, allowing it fantastic panoramic views of Bristol from the front. Rookery Road has a range of substantial and attractive family homes. The house is just minutes from Wells Road with the popular Fox and West Deli, Acapella and Southside Bar, with its indoor and outdoor seating and serving local craft beers. Knowle is an extremely popular family area, with a brilliant combination of large houses, good schools and a choice of great parks. HillCrest Primary is just a short walk away and very well-regarded and Know Park Primary is close by which can be accessed via the park. Rookery Road is also close to Arnos Vale Cemetery, Perretts Park and Victoria Park, all offering a great escape from the city and open green spaces. For commuters, the area is very well placed, with Temple Meads and the several major employers around Temple Quay just around fifteen minutes away on foot, even close by bike or Voi. Bristol’s scenic harbourside and city centre are also within walking distance, along with the independent shops, bars and cafes of North Street in Bedminster, whilst also being a short drive from the beautiful Mendips and Chew Valley to the south.
