Arlington Villas, Clifton

"Our favourite thing about the flat is the sense of light and space throughout. Having breakfast in the morning sunshine with the great view you get so high up is very special indeed."

The Home

A charming one bedroom second floor apartment forming part of an beautiful Victorian townhouse, situated in a highly desirable area of Clifton. The apartment has a wonderful character to it, with well-proportioned rooms, high ceilings and a lovely natural light throughout, all of which has been beautifully enhanced by the thoughtful decorative touches the current owners have made.

The living room is a fantastic space and an immediate highlight, featuring original style Victorian floor tiles, designed and installed by the sellers themselves, a really special detail that sets the tone for the rest of the apartment. The room flows naturally and openly into the kitchen breakfast room, which is a generous and bright space, with the large sash windows flooding it with light and making it feel wonderfully airy. The bathroom has been redesigned and updated by the sellers to a high standard and the apartment offers good storage. The double bedroom is a good size and positioned at the rear of the building, offering a lovely outlook up Oakfield Grove. The bespoke built-in wardrobes were crafted by a local carpenter, who also refurbished all of the sash windows in 2023, and the carpet was replaced in 2025, meaning the room is ready to move straight into.

The Outside

The apartment also benefits from access to a communal garden, completing what is a really well balanced and beautifully presented home.

Living in Clifton

Located on Arlington Villas, this property is 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.

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.
