Outside, the pretty cottage style gardens afford considerable privacy, are well stocked and are found along two sides of the house. They also include a useful outhouse which has excellent potential for conversion into a home office. There is also parking for at least two cars making this a very appealing property and well worth viewing.

SITUATION

Staple Hill primary school is also conveniently located in nearby Page Road as well as the Fishponds Church of England Academy on the Fishponds Road.
