This generous ground-floor apartment occupies circa 1,000 sq ft within a Grade II listed Georgian building in Clifton Village. The principal reception is impressive—bay-fronted and over 25ft—providing versatile living and dining space, while two double bedrooms and a separate kitchen complete a classical, well-laid-out home.
A notable asset is the private south-easterly rear garden (approximately 33ft x 27ft), a rare feature for a centrally located Clifton apartment and offering scope for landscaping or personalising. The flat was professionally renovated in 2017 with a new kitchen, bath/shower room, re-plastering and new carpeting, so it is largely move-in ready.
Practicalities to note: the property is leasehold (long lease remaining of c. 963 years) with an average service charge of £1,440 and sits within the Clifton Village residents’ parking scheme. As a Grade II listed property, external and internal alterations may be restricted and will require listed-building consent, which can complicate refurbishment plans.
Location strengths include immediate access to Clifton Village’s boutiques, cafés and restaurants, good primary and independent schools nearby, and easy access to green space such as Victoria Square and the Downs. Buyers seeking a characterful, substantial apartment with a private garden in a prime Bristol address will find strong appeal here, while those requiring unrestricted renovation or lower service costs should factor the listed status and charges into their plans.
