Filton Avenue, Horfield

"So much love has gone into making this a special family home these past fifteen years. We have enjoyed the brilliant, versatile space Filton Avenue has offered us for our various creative pursuits indoors and outside. With far reaching views over Purdown, watching the sun rising over the city is a beautiful way to start the day; the house perfectly positioned, bathed in morning light throughout the open plan kitchen/dining room, and bringing the cosy living room to life in the late afternoon."

Filton Avenue sits adjacent to Gloucester Road, near The Wellington pub and a stones throw from Muller Recreational Grounds. Venues such as FED, the Grace, and Per & Kor are a fantastic range of eateries for people to enjoy, as well as a number of other independents including Gloucester Road Books, Rambling Rose, and Fancy Plants in the local vicinity to name a select few. Surrounded by green spaces, St Andrews Park is a leafy Victorian public park with children's play area and paddling pool, as well as Horfield Common, which is perfect for dog walkers, runners and those who are wanting to socialise. For sports fans, Gloucestershire County Cricket Club play regularly in summer months just to the other side of Gloucester Road and Bristol Rovers' Memorial Stadium are within a short walk. The area is very well positioned for commuters, with the city centre within walking or cycling distance and regular buses running, the M32 nearby, with links to the M4 and M5. The area is incredibly popular with families, due to the sought after 'Fairfield High School' and a number of well regarded local primaries, such as 'Brunel Fields'.
