Vendor's Comments

"We were first struck by the beautiful views from the property. The layout has been fantastic particularly for family/friends coming over, everybody who comes in seems to love it also. The roof terrace has been fantastic for watching balloons and fireworks, and doing pizza parties through the summer.

The area is very well connected, most days if we’re off we walk over the bridge into Clifton village or walk through Leigh Woods. Ashton court is also lovely to have on our doorstep, and being able to get to Ashton Gate and Bedminster easily is useful. "
