This substantial Victorian mid-terrace on College Road offers around 4,000 sq ft of well-presented family accommodation across lower ground to second floor levels. The house has been carefully renovated with triple-glazed sash windows, underfloor heating in the open-plan family area and a beautifully fitted kitchen with integrated appliances. The principal first-floor suite occupies the full width of that level and there are five further double bedrooms and multiple high-quality bath/shower rooms—ideal for a large or growing family.
A self-contained lower-ground studio annex provides flexible use as an au pair/guest suite or as income-producing accommodation. The lower ground also contains a gym/cinema and generous storage; the annex can be opened into the main house or reconfigured (subject to consents) to create additional living space. The thoughtful layout and abundant reception rooms suit both family life and entertaining.
Outside, the rear plot is compact but well landscaped and south-facing, laid out for low-maintenance indoor–outdoor living with paved terraces, raised planted beds and mature topiary. The property sits moments from Clifton College and other top schools, with excellent local amenities and fast broadband—a strong choice for families prioritising schooling and central Clifton living.
Important practical points: the house is a period build (pre-1900) with stone walls and assumed limited wall insulation; plot and forecourt are small relative to the house; council tax is described as quite expensive. While the property is newly renovated, buyers wanting further thermal improvements or larger outdoor space should factor in potential works or extension planning.
