4 bedroom terraced house for sale

"We've lived in Bristol for many, many years and it's been a privilege to live on Leighton Road. If we were not relocating this was going to be our forever home and we have loved and restored it as if it were. It's a very special house. I love sitting in the the sun filled lounge or cosying up in the in the back reception room listening to records. We often do a 25 minute morning walk of dropping the kids to school in minutes, going onto Marks Bread for coffee, onto the harbourside and back home over Vauxhall bridge. Equally a morning coffee in the garden sunshine is amazing! A wonderful start to the day, what's not to love! The street has a wonderful community feel, with caring neighbours. It feels very safe and family friendly. Halloween and Christmas are particularly special with the window decorations. The city and countryside are both on our doorstep with Cycle lanes leading to Leigh Woods and Ashton Court."

Leighton Road is a desirable and attractive residential road in Southville, one of the most sought after neighbourhoods in South Bristol. Close by there are two footbridges across the river to reach the Harbourside area of the city and further onto Wapping Wharf, an area which has fast become one of Bristol's most iconic and desirable settings for living, eating and socialising. The area around Gaol Ferry Steps is now home to several stylish homes, trendy bars and boutique shops within both Cargo One and Cargo Two, which came as two phases of retail and restaurant space, largely occupied for local independent businesses. Southville itself has long been one of the most popular parts of Bristol to live in. North Street is very nearby and is home to a number of bars and eateries such as The Tobacco factory, the popular Souk Kitchen, Cor as well as highly regarded cafes such as Sweven and Marks Bread. Crossing the river from Southville, you are just minutes from all Bristol City Centre has to offer. For those who work in the city, the commute by foot or bike is short and painless, whilst the journey home after an evening in a city is also straightforward and advantageous on foot rather than negotiating city centre traffic. For young families, this house on Leighton Road is within easy reach of two of South Bristol's most sought after Primary Schools: Ashton Gate (OFSTED rated Outstanding) and Southville Primary (OFSTED rated Good).
