The search continues . We have been looking around North Bristol for 6 months now and can't seem to settle on an area that ticks all the boxes: good schools, roomy houses, lively high street (we're londoners), diverse, affordable and near to Filton where DH and I both work. We had been looking at Downend, and almost bought a house in Bromley Heath but it was far too quiet and DH said I'd go spare in a matter of weeks. By chance we stumbled upon Downend/Staple hill borders and wondered if anyone could tell me what Staple Hill is like. Is there anywhere we should avoid looking etc?
In terms of schools, we'd prefer to send DS to a Catholic School (although not ruling out non-RC schools) - we know that St Augustines in Downend is good, but if anyone can tell me about St Joseph's in Fishponds which is the next nearest, I'd be grateful.
Many thanks.
