Granby Hill, Clifton

“Location, within 500 metres of the apartment you have Clifton village, the Clifton Suspension Bridge, the Harbourside and Leigh Woods! Also one of very few properties in Bristol that has an uninterrupted view of the river Avon, and beyond all the way to Dundry. Sitting on the sofa and watching the sunset over the river with occasional cows grazing in Leigh Woods always makes me feel lucky to have such a unique view in a city centre property."

Granby Hill is just before the Clifton Suspension Bridge and features many beautiful Georgian listed buildings. A short walk up the hill is Clifton Village, with its highly-regarded restaurants, and independent shops. New restaurants and cafe's such as Kibou and Foliage Cafe strike a pleasant contrast to the well established and ever popular Coronation Tap, The Ivy, and beautiful views from the Avon Gorge Hotel terrace. Hotwells, name derives from the hot springs which bubble up through the rocks of the Avon Gorge, is also conveniently located close to Bristol City Centre and the rapidly expanding Bristol Harbourside which has attracted a number of large employers. For those looking for a day out South of the river, Ashton Court and North Street is a 20 minute walk across the impressive Greville Smyth Park and offers many independent bars and restaurants and is well known for its wealth of Street Art.

Originally built in 1840, the property has such a rich history and played a vital role in the early days of Bristol Shipping. The property even featured a stable for horse and cart, which has now become a picturesque courtyard garden. More recently the building has been converted into two bespoke apartments. The entrance is located on Granby Hill and you enter the property via a striking entrance hall, only shared with one other property, which has been impressively decorated by the current owner. As you step into the apartment off the hallway you have the first of four double bedrooms, this space could also work well as an office / nursery / second lounge. Further along we have the contemporary U-shaped kitchen with integrated appliances. Next there is the entrance to the private balcony space which has plenty of room for a table and chairs – this is a great space to relax with friends and loved ones. At the rear we have the living space which overlooks the river Avon, adjacent to this is the second double bedroom and there is also a modern three-piece bathroom suite on this floor. Heading up the stairs we have the final two bedrooms including the principal suite and an upstairs shower room. Overall this is an impressive apartment which has been immaculately decorated and looked after – this is a versatile home and rich piece of Bristol history, which would suit a family looking for easy access to Clifton, City Centre or South Bristol, a group of friends looking to buy a home together, a couple looking to get on the property ladder in a premium location or an investor who could look to rent each room out.
