Thinking of buying a new home in Bristol?

Located in the south west of England, Bristol is England’s seventh biggest city in terms of population size – with 459,300 people calling it home. Bristol has fantastic transport links, renowned cultural and educational institutions, and retail and entertainment options to rival other UK cities. 

As the city that gave us Banksy, it should come as no surprise that Bristol has a thriving arts and music scene. Having won a number of awards over the years, Bristol is a great place to consider one of our beautiful new build homes.
