New Homes in Bristol

Found in the South West of England close to the country’s border with South Wales, Bristol is a vibrant city and also the smallest yet most populated non-metropolitan county in the UK. Extending out to the Bristol Channel and Severn Estuary, houses in Bristol are just over 10 miles from Bath, while you can drive up to Gloucester in around 40 minutes.

From cultural draws like museums, galleries and historical landmarks like the city’s cathedral, to natural attractions such as Avon Gorge, Leigh Woods and Chew Valley Lake, there’s also a vibrant harbor to take in. Whether you want to live in the city centre or a commuter town like Yate, don’t miss our new homes in Bristol below.
