Vendor's Comments

"One of the things we’ve loved most about our home is the location; it’s ideally positioned just a short walk from the vibrant mix of independent shops, cafés, and restaurants that Gloucester Road has to offer. Horfield Sports Centre is a 2 minute walk away, it was recently refurbished and is now one of Bristol’s best leisure facilities – complete with two swimming pools, squash courts, football pitches and an indoor soft play. For families there is also a lovely green space right across the road including a children’s park, with the remainder of Horfield Common, and The Ardagh Community Centre nearby.

The house runs along Bayswater Road, which has a strong sense of community. We’ve been part of the local street WhatsApp group, which really adds to the neighbourhood feel.

Off-street parking is another major advantage and a rare convenience in this area, making day-to-day living much easier.

The end of terrace position of the house allows the South-facing garden all day light exposure. In the summer months it has been perfect for hosting friends, and it has been a pleasure to grow ornamental plants, herbs and vegetables in throughout the year.

Inside, the house is wonderfully bright, with natural light flowing through from front to back throughout the day. For a terraced home, the property feels especially spacious, with a wide, welcoming hallways and generously sized bedrooms. The brightness and openness of the master bedroom and the living room are a particular joy.

Overall, this is a bright, spacious home in a highly convenient location, perfectly placed for green spaces, leisure facilities, and the lively Gloucester Road community. The house has been perfect for our young family, and we look forward to passing it on to be loved again."
