Number 3 is a handsome Georgian terraced house forming part of this iconic and highly sought-after Clifton square. The house has been cherished and well-maintained by the same family for over 40 years, with many original features preserved and the essential services, including the heating system and windows, kept in good order.

Upon entering the property, the tall ceilings and welcoming hallway immediately convey the home's grand proportions. The hallway runs the full length of the house, providing an elegant sense of flow and scale.

To the left is a lovely dining room, lit by large sash windows with original working shutters. The ceiling is adorned with attractive period cornicing and the room benefits from generous natural light, lending warmth and brightness throughout. This room connects to the kitchen through a useful and versatile space which was originally the butler's pantry and still contains the original units.

The kitchen is bright and well laid out with wraparound bespoke handmade teak units and work surfaces creating a practical and sociable cooking environment. Fitted with a hob and oven, ample cupboard storage and space for both a fridge and dishwasher, the room is both functional and inviting. An oversized sash window looks out onto the rear courtyard, bringing in plenty of light. A corridor from the kitchen leads to a well-proportioned downstairs WC and the rear door, which opens out onto a sunny, south-facing private courtyard—walled for privacy and bathed in sunlight throughout the day.

The elegant staircase rises to the first floor where on the right at the front of the house is a light-filled reception room featuring tall ceilings, sash windows with original shutters, an original fireplace and access to a charming balcony—perfect for morning coffee or evening drinks.

A walk-through library connects this room to a further reception room at the rear. With bespoke built-in bookshelves, an original feature fireplace and decorative cornicing, this room offers a perfect space to unwind or offers potential for conversion into a further bedroom. As with the rest of the house, light pours in through large sash windows and period detail has been carefully preserved.

The upper staircase is illuminated by a Velux window, bringing additional light into the centre of the house. On this level are two further bedrooms and the family bathroom. The principal bedroom is a spacious double with views over the garden square and built-in wardrobes. The second bedroom, also a generous double, features a lovely miniature feature fireplace and another walk-in wardrobe.

The family bathroom is well-proportioned, featuring a bath, heated towel rail and large sash window. The combination of light and space creates a serene and functional family space. A large linen cupboard atop the staircase provides excellent storage and completes this floor.

The lower ground floor offers fantastic versatility. It could serve as a separate self-contained apartment, guest accommodation, or additional family living space.

This level includes a well-appointed kitchen with hob and oven, space and plumbing for a washing machine and a sash window with original shutters and an opening to a small outdoor area. A separate bathroom, a generously proportioned reception/ bedroom and a walk-through storage hallway add to the floor's practicality.

A unique feature is the external wine cellar, offering storage for up to 552 bottles, while another room at the rear provides additional storage for paint, tools and household items.

The house benefits from a private, walled rear courtyard which is south facing and wonderfully bright. At the front, the house features a lovely garden perfect for outdoor dining and relaxation. On the upper floors the house looks out onto the communal gardens of Canynge Square—one of the most beautiful and prestigious in Bristol, offering a green and peaceful escape in the heart of Clifton.
