Summary - 5, VYVYAN TERRACE, BRISTOL BS8 3DF
7 bed 4 bath Terraced
Rare four-storey home with separate let and private mews garage.
Grade II* listed Georgian townhouse with original period features
Set on one of Clifton’s most prestigious terraces, this Grade II* listed townhouse spans four principal storeys plus a self-contained lower-ground flat. The main house offers six bedrooms and a sequence of elegant reception rooms that retain original Georgian detail: tall sash windows, high ceilings, cornicing and fireplaces. A one-bedroom lower-ground apartment, with private access and courtyard, is currently let, providing immediate rental income and separate living options.
The property is well maintained in key areas: a new rear flat roof was completed in 2024 and the boiler was replaced in 2021. Outside, a double garage styled as a mews house opens to a private courtyard garden; residents also have access to the communal front gardens. At approx. 4,418 sq ft (including garage), the layout suits a large family or a purchaser seeking versatile space with investment potential.
Important practical points: the house is listed, which will restrict alterations and could complicate modernisation. The original stone walls are likely uninsulated, so upgrading thermal performance would be a material project. Council tax is expensive and local recorded crime levels are high; buyers should factor these realities into long-term running costs and security considerations.
Positioned moments from Clifton Village, the Downs and top independent schools, this is a rare opportunity to secure a substantial, characterful townhouse in a highly desirable Bristol address. The combination of preserved period features, significant floor area and an income-producing lower flat will appeal to families who value space and provenance, or buyers seeking a signature central property with future potential.
