Duchess Road, Clifton

“From cosy wintery evenings and crisp Downs walks, to summer mornings with the French windows open, birdsong, and a coffee in hand - inside and out, it’s a truly special place to call home.”

The Home

This two-bedroom lower ground floor garden flat has been thoughtfully transformed by its current owners, with meaningful improvements carried out throughout.

The stained glass front door makes a wonderful first impression, setting the tone for what lies within. It opens into a spacious and well-presented entrance hall, finished with engineered wood flooring and an elegant two-tone colour scheme that carries a sense of warmth and cohesion through the home.

The front bedroom is generously proportioned, with built-in wardrobes positioned either side of the chimney breast, a smart addition that is as practical as it is aesthetically pleasing. A storage bench nestled into the bay window adds further charm and functionality. The shower room has been updated to a high standard and presents well.

To the rear, the second bedroom is beautifully decorated and offers real versatility, serving equally well as a guest room or a dedicated home office.

The true standout, however, is the main living and kitchen space. A rear kitchen extension has created a wonderfully open and free-flowing room, with large doors and Velux windows drawing in an abundance of natural light. The result is a bright, airy space that feels far larger than its footprint might suggest.

The Garden

The large doors from the kitchen extension open directly onto the private garden, which has been entirely transformed by the current owners. The addition of beautiful stone tiles has created a stylish and versatile outdoor space, perfect for entertaining or simply enjoying a moment of calm. The garden’s woodland backdrop creates an exceptionally peaceful and calming feel.

Living in Clifton

Duchess Road is a highly desirable residential street, renowned locally for its peaceful setting. The road is perfectly situated between Pembroke Road and Whiteladies Road and is home to the Clifton Lawn Tennis Club.

A short walk will find you in Clifton Village one of Bristol's most established and desirable neighbourhoods with its highly-regarded restaurants and independent shops. Newer destinations such as Chandos, Kibou, Coppa, Foliage Café and a Gails Bakery strike a pleasant contrast to the well-established Coronation Tap, Portcullis Pub, The Albion and Avon Gorge Hotel.

This property is also within easy reach of the ever-popular Whiteladies Road, which has long been regarded as one of the premier shopping areas of Bristol and features beautiful Georgian buildings, a range of independent shops, The Everyman Cinema and a multitude of cafes, bars, pubs and restaurants. Known for everything from up-market furniture shops to delis, galleries and gift shops, Whiteladies Road has something to offer everyone. The Whiteladies Road Market is also a community favourite and a place to buy seasonal produce from local food and drink traders every Saturday. At the top of Whiteladies Road is Clifton Downs, 400 acres of green space offering the perfect spot to walk on a sunny day and to enjoy a rural atmosphere whilst being easily accessible from the centre of town.

Just off Whiteladies Road lies Cotham Hill, home to some fantastic spots including the tapas favourite Bravas, the much-loved Panunzio's ice-cream parlour, Muino, and more besides. A short stroll also brings you to The Alma Vale Tavern, a tucked-away, cosy pub with a charming small theatre on the upper floor. For something altogether more indulgent, the iconic Bristol Lido is close at hand, offering a beautiful pool, spa, and excellent food in a truly relaxed setting.
