Although home to lush green spaces, the bustling harbour and tranquil riversides, one thing Bristol is admittedly missing compared to other West Country destinations is the seaside. For beach lovers hoping to stay close enough to the action, the North Somerset coast is starting to lure some house-hunters away from the city.
Last year a property agent spoke of how Bristol residents were rushing to buy in Weston-super-Mare thanks to the slightly lower prices and investment in the area, and now it seems it could be the turn of a neighbouring town. This year Kirstie Allsopp, who co-presents Channel 4 property show Location, Location, Location, spoke of the "super friendly" community in Clevedon and how it could be a great alternative for Bristol buyers.
During the Bristol episode of the series, which aired in late May, she admitted to "taking a gamble" in showing house-hunters Sue and Samira a property in Clevedon despite their search being centred in the city. They were looking to relocate from London after 30 years and were firm on £280,000 as their absolute maximum budget.
