An exceptionally special, detached family townhouse situated in undoubtedly one of Cliftons most respected and sought after residential roads. Built circa 1880 and retaining many of its original features, this magnificent Victorian Property fronts college fields and enjoys unbroken views over Clifton College playing fields otherwise known as New Field. The tastefully presented accommodation (circa 4640 sq ft,) is arranged over three floors, the lower ground floor offering the flexibility of a self-contained 3 bedroomed flat or as additional accommodation to the main house.

The spacious and flexible family accommodation is accessed off a side entrance portico which in turn opens into a central entrance hall with original staircase leading to the first floor landing. A door beneath the staircase leads to the lower ground floor accommodation. The entrance hall includes a side cloakroom with WC off as well as a large walk in cloakroom/store cupboard to the rear, ideal for storage of boots, golf clubs etc.

The principle reception/drawing room has a deep shuttered sash bay window to one end enjoying a south westerly facing aspect with views over the front garden and New Field. The drawing room has the original ceiling cornice as well as an impressive open marble fireplace. One of the propertys most notable and favoured features is the fabulous open plan kitchen/family room which runs the full depth of the house and is linked by a large central wall opening. Separate door openings off the reception hall allow these two rooms to be made separate if preferred. The kitchen/ family room enjoys unbroken views over both the rear garden as well as neighbouring New Field. The kitchen includes a magnificent range of hand built units with granite work surfaces, fitted gas fired aga, separate SMEG oven and hob. There is ample room for a dining table and chairs. To the rear of the entrance hall is an additional third reception/ study which also overlooks the rear garden. Attractive oak flooring runs throughout the reception hall, kitchen and study giving a light and airy feeling throughout.

The first floor landing is reached via the original staircase with cast iron balusters, and has two full height windows on the half landing, providing good natural daylight throughout the stairwell and landing. A door opens off the half landing into a mezzanine bedroom 4 which enjoys views over the rear garden.

The first floor accommodation comprises three large double bedrooms with bedroom 5/ study reached off the landing via a short flight of stairs. The master bedroom enjoys fabulous south westerly facing views over New Field and has an ensuite shower room off. Bedroom 2 is a large double bedroom which overlooks neighbouring New Field and has a link door to a dressing room with a comprehensive range of fitted wardrobes. The dressing room can also be reached off the landing thereby providing for an additional bedroom if required. There is a family bathroom accessed off the landing.

The lower ground floor accommodation is linked to the entrance hall of the house via a short flight of stairs, however it could provide for self-contained accommodation i.e. For a dependant relative, au pair or alternatively for rental income. A central hallway with ceramic tiled floor throughout provides access to all rooms and has an external door to one end opening onto the rear garden. A large walk in store room provides ideal conditions for a wine cellar. There is also a separate laundry room which has plumbing for washing machine and an external exhaust for a tumble drier. In addition there are spacious reception rooms, one of which is used as a cinema room and one benefitting from an ensuite shower room.

Externally, the house has a delightful private garden to the rear (circa 84 0 length x 52 0) which is bounded by natural stone walls and has a wrought iron pedestrian gate opening onto the side driveway. The garden is predominantly laid to level lawn with flagstone path to one side leading to a large ornamental fish pond.

Location

College Fields is a residential road held in high regard. This is owed to the unique setting and the fact that these very special family homes have unrestricted views over neighbouring Clifton College playing fields. The prized location coupled with the fact that the property is surrounded by an attractive mix of Victorian and Georgian architecture as well as being well placed for local amenities make it a widely admired address. The variety of shops, boutiques and restaurants in Clifton Village are within half a mile as well as the choice of further amenities on nearby Whiteladies Road. Indeed, Bristols City Centre is within only one and a half miles allowing access to the national motorway network via the M32 and rail links to London Paddington from Temple Meads mainline station. The vast expanse of Cliftons Downs can be accessed within a quarter of a mile, as can the historic landmark of Isambard Kingdom Brunels world famous suspension bridge spanning the Avon Gorge (in itself, a designated area of Special Scientific Interest). The area is particularly well served for schooling in both state and private sectors with Clifton College being situated within 200 yards and Clifton High School for Girls within two minutes walking distance.
