Henbury is an ancient village with roots as an Iron Age settlement and later mentioned in the Doomsday Book. Eventually incorporated into Bristol in the 1930s, Henbury retains much of its village character, with an excellent local pub, the 650 acres Grade II Blaise Castle Estate opposite the property, and the National Trust Blaise hamlet literally around the corner. Whilst enjoying a semi-rural feel, the location is not remote, offering convenient links both into and out of the city. Several local schools are within walking distance, with independent schools such as Redmaids and Badminton being a short drive.

The house is set back from the road with high level fence and drive pull in to the front. An electric gate provides access into the landscaped front garden area, which provides off street parking for a number of cars.
