Symington Road, Fishponds

"We love how private our plot is, despite us being in a city. There is a lovely flow to the house and the garden feels like a small peaceful escape from the world. There is a great community feel on Symington Road and surrounding area. We were spoilt for choice with good schools for the kids."
