Springfield Avenue, Ashley Down

"Springfield avenue is a community. We know all our neighbours and after 12 years we will miss the many friendships we have made. Everything you need is within just a few minutes walk; whether it's lazy Sunday mornings with croissants from Guild of Dough, a lunchtime mezza and beer at the Lazy dog or an evening at probably the tastiest Thai in Bristol. We have loved having Gloucester road on our doorstep. So much love and care has gone into the house over the years. We love entertaining and so many happy winter evenings have been spent with the woodburner blazing. When the sun is shining the doors open, and life spills out into the garden."

Springfield Avenue is one of Ashley Down's finest roads, being tucked away and picturesque, whilst being well-positioned with easy access to Gloucester Road, and the city centre. Gloucester Road is one of the longest roads for independent shops, cafes & restaurants in the UK, including a diversity of options such as The Gallimaufry, Joe's Bakery, the highly regarded Fed 303, Better Food and numerous independent butchers, grocers and shops. Ashley Down has a great community feel attracting a variety of different buyers and has recently been particularly desirable with young families due to the popular local Ashley Down School. For those in want of green spaces, Purdown is but a 5-minute walk away, as well as the beautiful St Andrews Park. Buses run every five minutes from Gloucester Road and are also very regular on Ashley Down Road to the City Centre, alongside cycle paths for both cyclists and electric scooter users. If you are in need of great commuter links, the M32 is a short drive away that links to the City Centre, as well as out towards the M4 and M5. The property is also within easy reach of the soon to be opened Ashley Down train station, conveniently connecting the area to Temple Meads, Bristol Parkway and beyond. Springfield Avenue has also recently been shut to through traffic so the road is now primarily used by residents.
