Vendor Comments

We have lived here for over 25 years and loved it so much. Our children grew up in this house and we extended and adapted it at different stages to suit our evolving family needs. We have appreciated the rural outlook and private garden yet being so close to Bristol.

Our children went to school in Westbury-on-Trym which is just 2 miles away. Some children in the village attend schools in South Glos as we understand that the village is in the catchment area for these schools.
