4 bed semi-detached house for sale

Oakley Road, Horfield BS7

"We've loved renovating this thirties house into a home, including having two children since living here! The living space is perfect for hosting (Christmas, birthday parties, summer parties) and there's plenty of space for people to stay, I think the record is eleven including two in a camper on the drive. There is a beautiful magnolia tree in the front garden, every year when it flowers it marks the start of spring, that's what i'll miss the most."
