Stafford Road, St Werburghs

"We love St Werburghs for it's community feel and access to green open spaces. It’s a village oasis in the middle of the city. We love being close to the City Farm, allotments & organic grocery shops, our favourite local restaurants; Namak for Indian or Napolita for amazing pizza. There are so many cosy pubs with great beer gardens for summer. At home we love waking up to the views from our loft bedroom, breakfast on the patio, hosting BBQs in the summer, or cosy nights in with the log burner."
