The Bristol Property Market

Bristol is one of England's largest cities and one of the most active property markets in the South West, with a wide range of pricing from accessible south Bristol suburbs to premium north Bristol.

Bristol (BS1) is a city and ceremonial county in South West England, situated on the River Avon approximately 120 miles west of London. The Clifton Suspension Bridge, designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel and completed in 1864 after his death, spans the Avon Gorge at Clifton at a height of 75 metres and a span of 214 metres. It is a Grade I listed structure and one of the most photographed landmarks in England. The SS Great Britain, Brunel's 1843 iron-hulled ocean-going steamship and the world's first large ocean-going ship with a screw propeller and iron hull, is preserved in a dry dock at Bristol's Harbourside and is one of the most significant surviving industrial heritage vessels in the world.

Bristol Temple Meads, the city's principal railway terminus, is a Grade I listed building incorporating Brunel's original 1840 train shed alongside the later Victorian Gothic station building.
