Upper Sandhurst Road, Brislington

" We love our home! It’s been perfect for family life, from bringing home our first baby to hosting friends in the open-plan kitchen. Bi-fold doors lead to a private garden where we’ve enjoyed many homemade pizzas and cherries from the tree. Inside, morning light fills the front room, and our little one loves his animal wallpaper. We’re lucky to have great cafés nearby such as Kin and Sandy Park Deli for Saturday croissants, lovely neighbours, and a welcoming community in a fantastic location. "

The home

A wonderful refurbished and extended two bedroom mid terrace home. Downstairs has been opened up to create an open plan living room that leads to the dining room and kitchen. Wooden parquet flooring runs throughout the downstairs of the home and there is a cosy log burner in the living room at the front. The generous kitchen diner at the rear has been beautifully designed with a mixture of concrete and wooden worktops and plenty of ply units for storage. Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a modern family bathroom.

The outside

The decked rear garden is accessed through bifold doors from the kitchen and has a beautiful cherry tree for all year round interest.
