St. Dunstans Road, Bedminster

"We’ve loved calling St Dunstans Road home for the last nine years. A friendly and quiet road tucked away from the bustle of Bedminster, it’s just a short walk from everything we’ve needed. We’ve really valued being so close to North Street for independent shops, cafes and pubs, as well as Wapping Wharf and the harbourside with all it has to offer. More recently, having a playground across the main road, and Victoria Park and Windmill Hill City Farm so close has been great entertainment for our toddler. One of our favourite parts of our home has been the suntrap garden which has been great for entertaining throughout the summers, especially when the shrubbery out the back comes to life full of greenery and small birds! It’s hard to leave, but we’re looking forward to a new chapter moving closer to family (with very regular visits back to Bedminster)!"
