Ambra Terrace, Cliftonwood

"The light that floods in through the large double-glazed sash windows and the striking full-height Crittall door, in the winter, it’s wonderfully cosy with the log burner crackling away. It's my favourite spot to curl up with a good book. The patio garden has been my peaceful escape, perfect for alfresco dinners and slow weekend mornings. Being just a stone’s throw from both Clifton Village and the Harbourside has made this one of the most special places to live in Bristol."

The Home

Tucked away on one of Cliftonwood’s most characterful streets, this beautifully restored two-bedroom Victorian terrace perfectly balances period charm with refined, contemporary design. Light floods the home through large double-glazed sash windows and a striking full-height Crittall door, accentuating the generous proportions and elegant detailing throughout. The space flows effortlessly onto the garden, creating an easy connection between indoors and out perfect for everyday living or entertaining friends on summer evenings.

The living space is anchored by original Victorian wooden floors, lovingly restored to their former beauty. A stunning marble fireplace surround perfectly frames a large wood-burning stove, making the room instantly warm and inviting. Delicate cornicing and an intricate ceiling rose showcase the home’s heritage, while the soft, contemporary palette brings a sense of calm. At the rear, the kitchen is a real statement, tiled in Mandarin Stone and finished with bespoke brass cabinetry that feels both timeless and bold.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom at the front is bright and airy, with south-facing light and inbuilt full-height wardrobes providing generous storage. The second bedroom is spacious and is currently a study, with views of the garden and additional inbuilt storage. The family bathroom is both calm and indulgent, flooded with natural light, featuring a freestanding bath and a large walk-in shower. Every finish has been considered, with natural materials and subtle tones working in harmony to create a sense of understated luxury.

The Garden

The garden is private and beautifully matured, framed by a climbing rose and clematis that bring colour and life through the seasons. It’s a peaceful retreat that feels both green and secluded, ideal for slow mornings or relaxed evenings outdoors. A custom-built, hidden bike shed offers secure storage while keeping the design clean and considered, perfectly complementing the home’s thoughtful balance of style and function.
