Vendors Comments: "88 Oak Road is incredibly versatile and has seen us through various ebbs and flows of life.
When we first moved in it was perfect for socialising, with spare rooms for guests and a big downstairs for parties, dinners and barbeques.

As life has evolved, and we’ve had two children, it has been perfect, with space for them both to have their own rooms, and close proximity to amazing nurseries, schools and green spaces. Lastly, with home working coming into our lives, the extra loft space has been a little sanctuary away from the hubbub of family life with lots of light and views over the city.

One of my favourite aspects is how the sun streams into the front bedroom in the morning, which is great for morning coffee or yoga. The garden gets the evening sun in the summer and is a private oasis of trees and shrubs. In winter, the cosy front room, with the gas fire and a good movie is the perfect retreat.

Oak Road is a quiet street with a real sense of community, we know our neighbours and people are always happy to help each other out. At the same time, you have Gloucester Road just seconds away, full of delicious food options and places to get a coffee, pint or cocktail. We frequently walk to town, the Downs, St Andrews Park and, of course, Horfield Common with its lovely café that does pizza and drinks on summer weekend evenings. I often go to London for work and can get the bus to either train station easily. The new train station at Ashley Down will only make the connections to the rest of the city and beyond easier."
