Situated at the end of the secluded and sought-after Cote House Lane, positioned just off Durdham Downs with walkable access to Henleaze High Street and Waitrose.

Large double garaging which is notable for its height allowing parking of larger than normal vehicles in tandem.

Separate Studio Annexe to the side of the property.
