Clifton is a particularly attractive and the most affluent suburb of Bristol which contains a large number of Grade II and Grade II* Listed buildings. The area is famous for its Georgian and Victorian architecture including the stately buildings facing the Promenade on Clifton Down, the majestic Royal York Crescent and Clifton College. The suburb is a tourist destination in its own right whether overseas visitor or the returning University parent. Clifton comprises public gardens, residential squares and 440 acres of open downs land to the north (Durdham Down and Clifton Down), the Observatory, Bird Cage Walk, the spectacular Avon Gorge and the iconic Clifton Suspension Bridge.

The Grade II Listed property fronts Boyce’s Avenue, a pedestrianised street, which offers vibrancy with a number of traders spilling their activities onto the street; such as Primrose Café’s seating and the long standing Reg the Veg greengrocer and his produce.
