Location - Canynge Square was built between 1842 and 1853 and is held in high regard as a place to live: the area is already rich in tree lined streets and Georgian or early Victorian architecture. It is a remarkably quiet yet central location with a reputation for a strong community spirit. As a point of interest, it has an active residents association that raises a small annual subscription to manage the central gardens and organises four social events a year. These include an annual dinner, picnic breakfast, bonfire night and Christmas carols. Clifton Village, with its shops, boutiques and restaurants, is a short walk across Christchurch Green. Convenient bus routes provide easy access to the city centre which is only one and a half miles away as is the M32 and Bristol Temple Meads railway station. Also nearby, are the open spaces of Clifton Downs, and the Suspension Bridge, which spans the Avon Gorge. The area is particularly well served by schools in both state and private sectors: Clifton College, Clifton High School and Christchurch Primary School all within easy walking distance. BGS and QEH are also within walking distance of the property. Badminton, Redmaids and The Downs School are within a short drive, although the latter two schools do provide a bus service leaving from nearby Christchurch Green in the mornings.

Bristol has a popular cultural and music scene, catering for all tastes and genres and is famed for its green, open spaces such as the aforementioned Durdham Downs and Ashton Court Estate, across the famous suspension bridge which includes mountain bike trails and bridle paths. There are a plethora of other sporting options in the vicinity including, golf, real tennis, tennis, sailing and surfing.

For the commuter, the A4 has a direct link to the city centre, and indeed the M5 and M4 motorways. Bristol Temple Meads train station provides an extensive service to many cities nationwide, and the city’s international airport connects to many European Cities.
