Glendale, Clifton, Bristol, BS8

An idyllic retreat with sweeping open views.

Description

This versatile, mid-terraced townhouse spans three floors and has been thoughtfully enhanced by its long-standing owners. Brimming with original character and charm, the property enjoys elevated views over the gardens of the Polygon and the city beyond.

Tucked away in a peaceful backwater, one of only three homes in this niche setting, it offers a rare sense of tranquillity. The adaptable layout suits a wide range of lifestyles, currently arranged as three reception rooms and three bedrooms, but easily reinstated to four bedrooms and two receptions.
On arrival, a welcoming vestibule opens into the reception hall, featuring a bespoke stained and leaded glass door. The intimate sitting room boasts a bay window, intricate ceiling detail, and a Jotul wood-burning stove. Folding glass doors lead to the dining room, where a bookcase adds character.
The kitchen is a social hub complete with an Aga, timber work surfaces, and space for an American-style fridge. Velux skylights flood the space with natural light, while double doors open to the lower courtyard and steps to the sun-drenched terrace.

Upstairs, four bedrooms are served by a family bathroom and a separate shower room. The front bedroom, currently styled as a drawing room, offers a vista over the Polygon gardens and there are elevated roof top views across the city.
Outside, the two-tiered garden is a private haven, featuring mature specimens including Magnolia and Wisteria. A pedestrian gate leads to the road and a single garage with up-and-over door and storage.
