Oak Road, Horfield

“From quiet mornings as a couple to the buzz of family life, it’s a space that has always felt calm and welcoming. We’ve really enjoyed putting our own stamp on the property over the years, thoughtfully decorating each space and adding the garden office pod to create a practical and inspiring work-from-home setup. It’s a home that has adapted with us, and the place where we’ve welcomed our children. The house has been perfect for entertaining where the outdoor beer fridge has really come into its own. We love this area of Bristol, which is close to the greenery and community spirit of Horfield Common and also near many of Bristol’s best independent shops, pubs and bars. It’s a short stroll to the cricket ground, a number of Pilates studios and gyms."
