Repton Road, Brislington

"It's a Saturday morning, we've popped over the road to the deli for a nice coffee and a cake, and now we're out on the decking in our own little peaceful oasis. It's the garden we fell in love with, and the garden we love the most today. It's such a sun trap, and feels like you're in the middle of a forest as opposed to a city."

The home

A beautifully renovated two bedroom house on Repton Road. Downstairs is an open plan kitchen/dining room with stripped wooden floors throughout. The sitting room at the front has a log burner, bay window to the street and fitted alcove storage and dining room has a large glass door to the rear garden and fitted bookcases. The kitchen is at the rear and has wooden panelling, open shelving and a small breakfast bar next to a picture window over looking the garden. The first floor has two double bedrooms and a large modern bathroom with freestanding bath and the loft has been converted and would make a great spare room/study.

The outside

The garden is a great size for the area, with a decked area for outside seating, a gravelled path and some mature shrubs and trees. The current owners have built some storage for bikes at the rear with an outdoor cooking area which has great woodland views.
