St. James Street, Mangotsfield

"We have loved the feeling of space while being within reach of the city centre. Eating with friends in the garden while the sun goes down in summer and cosy winter nights by the fire in winter. Walks and talks to unwind after work on the common and cycling into the countryside on the cycle path. Living here has been the perfect balance."
