Vendor's Comments - "This has been an exceptional family home for us, in a safe area amongst many other families. There is easy access to good schools, numerous bus routes and, of course, the Henleaze and North View high streets, which boast two butchers, a fishmonger, a Waitrose, a pub, two chemists, a bookshop, three gyms, a cinema, and a library.
