Vendors comments: "We have loved living in this beautiful house. It is full of light, and catches the sun whenever it is out - it floods into the back rooms in the morning and fills the front rooms in the evening. The garden is secluded and sunny and peaceful - we have apples, plums, greengage, apricot and figs, agapanthus and lots of roses - and children can walk to nearby Cotham Gardens or Redland Green parks. Somerset Street is at the heart of Kingsdown - there are so many community activities, including a book group, brunches on the square and Santa on the roof of the Kingsdown Vaults for the children on Christmas Eve. We can walk down to the centre of town in 15m and within 5m we’re in the buzz of Stokes Croft, Gloucester Road and Picton Street. But best of all is the view from the sitting room and top floor, where we see balloons drifting across the horizon in the summer, and invite friends round to watch the fireworks on New Year’s Eve."
