Frenchay Park Road, Frenchay

"We’ve been so lucky to live here for the past 20 years. The community here is great, the house itself is an amazing and versatile family home and the location couldn’t have been better for us. We’re surrounded by greenbelt in every direction and yet so close to Bristol City centre. With Stoke park estate opposite, Snuff Mills and Oldbury Court estate behind, Begbrook park (with social club, bowling green, tennis courts, swing park and so on) and Frenchay Common to the right – all just a few minutes walk away - and if you fancy a longer walk, you can take a left and stroll along the river Frome to Eastville park. Our home is directly opposite Grow Wilder, a great community food growing hub associated with Avon Wildlife Trust, and we have an allotment just behind that. If we were staying I’d be tempted to convert the loft, as it’s huge and will have the most amazing views over Stoke park."

Frenchay Park Road is situated between Stapleton and Frenchay. This is a hugely desirable leafy suburb in North East Bristol and boasts easy access to some of Bristol’s most popular nature walks. The Frome Valley WalkWay runs north along the river towards Snuff Mills, the beautiful Oldbury Court Estate and then on to Frenchay. Purdown is just the other side of the M32 and also offers direct access onto the Stoke Park Estate. Stapleton is ideally located for easy access into Central Bristol for major employers around Temple Quay and Bristol Harbourside whilst the M32 will also take you further out of Bristol towards other major employers such as Airbus, Aviva and the Ministry of Defence and the University of the West of England, whilst Aztec West is also within easy reach. Stapleton is also a fantastic spot for young families being located close to desirable schools such as Fairfield High School and Collegiate College. Whilst Stapleton has a lovely quaint feel to it, the easy access to the hustle and bustle of the city means that you benefit from the best of both worlds.
