York Road, Montpelier

"We've loved calling this place home for five years. For us, it’s been about socialising and entertaining. The open-plan living space is ideal for hosting, and the central location has been perfect for friends and family to visit. When people ask what we love about living in Bristol, we always say it’s the convenience of having amazing food, and live music on our doorstep. We’ve made the most of all of this by regular visits to The Crafty Egg for brunch, The Canteen for drinks and music, and Artist Residence across the road."
