Bloomfield Road, Brislington

"As my first home it's been my pride and joy to make it my own. I've done so much growing up while here, from starting a 'proper job' in the city far away from friends and family. Many cinema trips, deli hauls and cemetery strolls later, my favourite times here have been inviting friends to stay and hearing from them how safe and cosy this place makes them feel, a little escape so close to the city. They always want to come back (the home bar at the end of the garden might be a reason too!)"

The home

A great two bedroom ground floor flat with a good sized rear garden and the added addition of a garden room. The property has a large double bedroom to the front and the living room is placed in the middle of the property open plan to the kitchen which has a breakfast bar with stools. The second bedroom makes a good guest bedroom/study and there is a Jack and Jill bathroom between the two bedrooms.

The outside

The patio garden is a great size with a pergola and the perfect spot for a summer BBQ. The current owner has converted the out building into a very usable garden room with electric.
