Stoke Gifford is in the northern suburbs of Bristol. It's home to Bristol Parkway station, on the London-South Wales railway line, and the Bristol offices of Friends Life, Hewlett Packard and The University of the West of England.
It neighbours Harry Stoke, Little Stoke, Stoke Park and the new Cheswick Village. Filton is nearby on the Gloucester Road, which takes you south towards the city. The area expanded hugely in the 1980s. What were then just small villages grew into large housing estates, merging with Bradley Stoke to the north.
The majority of property is modern build, ranging from starter homes to large detached houses with garages and driveways. New builds are still available.
The area has excellent travel links. Bristol Parkway station has mainline and local trains. There’s a metro bus service, and new bus and cycle lanes are being created. The M32 is moments away and the Almondsbury Interchange linking the M5 and M4 can be joined via the A38 at Filton or Patchway.
