3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Hottom Gardens, Horfield BS7

"The house has been my home for fifty years and has been a wonderful sanctuary for children and now grandchildren. My sons were age five and seven when we moved in and it’s always been a good family home. We had a snooker table and dart board the garage which provided hours of entertainment. I spend a great deal of time in the garden when weather permits, relaxing and reading. Another favourite is having family and friends round for a barbecue."

The home

Lovingly maintained over the last fifty years by the same family, a fine three bedroom semi detached home with off street parking and garaging.

The kitchen runs across the rear of the house with a lovely outlook over the garden, there's loads of storage including a separate larder as well as access to a downstairs loo.
