"If you like your food and drink, you'll really enjoy all the local restaurants and bars on Gloucester Road. There are plenty within a few minutes walk. FED is an excellent spot for a morning coffee. We would also would highly recommend the wine bar, Cave, where we have spent many happy evenings. Our garden is South East facing and is great for eating outside in the summer. Horfield Common is a lovely green space within 5 minutes. If you work at home, perfect for a lunchtime walk."
The home
A pretty Victorian double bay fronted house with a lovely homely vibe and loads of character. The property has everything you want to see in a home of this vintage, beautiful fireplaces, gorgeous stripped floors and lots of the detailing that makes this era so desirable. Both receptions are beautiful, the bay fronted lounge is perfect for chilled evenings and the stylish dining room ideal for hosting. The two principle bedrooms are excellent doubles with an ingenious snug alcove transforming the third into a genuine feature, all rounded off with a pretty and chic bathroom. A great home for a young family in a fab area of North Bristol.
The outside
A super low maintenance rear courtyard with a South Easterly aspect, the perfect sun trap for chilling out or hosting friends.
