Queensdown Gardens, Brislington

"We love the view over Bristol from the front of the house. Watching balloons pass over in Summer, fireworks across the city on New Year's Eve, or just the evening light catching the rooftops. Its a special view that we often get comments on, people don't realise we're here - its a bit of a hidden gem."

Adjacent to the dining room table are large French doors opening directly onto the garden giving this room a lovely connection to the outside and making it the natural hub of the home.

Upstairs are three bedrooms including two comfortable double bedroom with the principle suite at the front of the home and a smaller third bedroom which would work well as a child’s room, nursery or home office.
