Mayors Buildings, Fishponds

"We love spending relaxed weekend mornings at Vassalls Park, where our dog can run freely and enjoy the open space. Afterward, we often head out for brunch at FED or The Crafty Egg."

The home

A stylish and neutrally decorated two bedroom terraced home on Mayors Buildings in Fishponds, in between Downend and Staple Hill Road. Entrance is into a hallway, with the living room on your right, boasting a fireplace and chimney breast. Continuing through the ground floor you find the dining room, with an opening through to the galley kitchen. The rooms flow well together, feeling like an open plan space, benefitting from good natural light, patio doors to the garden and floorboards underfoot. The kitchen offers a gas hob and plenty of worktop & cupboard space. Heading to the first floor, the primary bedroom sits at the front of the property. The floor is then completed by a rustic bathroom suite, second double bedroom, and study/office area on the landing.

The outside space

The garden begins with a pebbled area, with patio slabs leading to the main garden, which has been astro-turfed. The garden faces mainly east, capturing great sunlight in the morning and throughout the day. At the back of the plot is a decking area, ideal for alfresco dining and a wooden storage shed.
