Barratt Street, Easton

"As an architect and builder, we have worked hard fully renovating the house to create a family home. With an open plan ground floor and south-facing garden, the light-filled living space is somewhere we enjoy spending a great deal of our time. From summer days, hosting dinner parties around our large dining table and spilling out into the garden, to winter evenings cosying up in front of the log burner."
