Vendors Comments
"We have lived in this house for nearly 34 years and have absolutely loved it. It has been the perfect family home for us, close to excellent primary and secondary schools, good local buses, great open space on Horfield Common with its lovely cafe, accessible in minutes via a convenient lane with a rural feel. It's an easy walk to our two excellent high streets on Gloucester Road and Henleaze Road. Waitrose and Tesco are within walking distance as is our great local cinema and library. We are proud of the modernisation and two solar installations (PV and thermal) we have carried out on the house while retaining original features, which are important to us. We are avid gardeners and have created large well stocked gardens front and back, including productive fruit trees and bushes. The upper patio is in full sun all summer and the lower one gets the winter sun. Having a rear lane and usable garage with electric door and electric gate access is also a real boon. We will be really sad to leave, but it's time to downsize now."
