Raleigh Road, Southville

" Our location here in vibrant, creative South Bristol is simply brilliant - it’s a vibe and it has been a very special place for our family to call home! You have everything you need locally on North Street. Favourite spots include Sweven & Peggys for coffee, Burra for brunch, Souk Kitchen for dinner and for extra special nights out, drinks at Kask followed by the most delicious plates at Cor. We specifically chose our home & area not just for its vibes but also its outstanding local schooling. Our children have thrived at our local nursery and primary school - both easy walks around the corner. They would have continued on to our local secondary if we were staying. We will really miss this warm & friendly community in which we have felt very much at home. It makes our move bittersweet - though we are relocating to be close to the support of Family we will dearly miss the wonderful friendships we were lucky to establish here. "

The house

A beautifully presented three bedroom extended home in Southville. Downstairs is a reception room to the front with bay window and high ceilings. There is a second reception room in the middle of the house which makes a perfect snug/playroom. The rear of the house has been extended to create a light and bright kitchen/diner with bifold doors on to the rear garden. The kitchen has plenty of modern units, a breakfast bar and space for both a small sofa and dining. Up to the first floor are two double bedrooms, a family bathroom and a utility room. The loft has been converted into a gorgeous master bedroom, with ensuite shower room and a dressing room/study.

The outside

A private and secluded rear garden with wonderful mature shrubs and trees make a peaceful retreat in the summer.
