Talk to local people on Sandy Park Road and the C-word crops up a lot. That’s ‘C’ for community because the bustling Brislington street is very much the hub of this corner of BS4.
It’s also one of Bristol’s new property hotspots according to housing website Rightmove. Recent research found that Brislington was number two in a national list of locations with the highest increase in the average asking price of a house.
According to Rightmove, the average house price in Brislington leapt from £166,192 back in 2012 to £338,800 now. That’s an increase of 104 per cent.
