4 Bed Detached House For Sale

"We had no idea when buying the house nearly forty years ago that it would become such a happy family home. Redesigning the downstairs of the property has been a real labour of love and everyone that comes over falls in love with its warm, yet contemporary feel. It’s only a five-minute drive to The Mall, and twenty-five minutes to the city centre with Westbury-on-Trym close by. It has a real country-living vibe and we’ll miss having our neighbours over for a glass of fizz on Christmas morning. It’s been a wonderful place to live and grow up, we hope the next owners are as happy here as we have been."
