In addition, the house offers a south facing landscaped garden to the rear, self-contained guest flat, cellars and the rare commodity of two secure car parking spaces.

Offered for sale for the first time in eighteen years, this handsome Clifton residence has been lovingly maintained. Countless original features include intricate ceiling mouldings, beautiful fireplaces, working shutters to large sash windows and a wonderful, cantilevered stone stairwell to name but a few. A breathtaking first floor drawing room offers a dual aspect with three, floor to ceiling sash windows that open to a balcony offering a pleasing outlook over the central gardens of the terrace. These cherished central gardens offer an exclusive green space to the residents and often form the scene for private social occasions.

The property has been the subject of a continuous and meticulous program of regular maintenance under the current ownership to ensure painstaking upkeep to the fabric of the building as well as the services. Furthermore, the house offers a consistently high standard of presentation that is complimentary to the classical features throughout. A point that will doubtlessly appeal to those seeking a “turnkey” Clifton residence with the added advantage of this sale offering no onward chain.

Location - Vyvyan Terrace is an address held in extremely high regard owing to the uniquely convenient proximity to Clifton Village and the breathtaking example of Victorian and Georgian architecture that forms one of the city’s most prized and widely admired terraces. The variety of shops, boutiques and restaurants in Clifton Village are quite literally at the end of the road as well as several bus routes providing easy city centre access. Indeed, Bristol’s City Centre itself 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 Clifton’s Downs can be accessed across Christchurch Green (again, at the end of the road) as can the historic landmark of Isambard Kingdom Brunel’s world-famous suspension bridge spanning the Avon Gorge (in itself, a designated area of outstanding natural beauty). The area is particularly well served for schooling in both state and private sectors with Clifton College, Clifton High and Christchurch Primary schools being within only quarter of a mile of the subject property.
