Richmond Park Road, Clifton, Bristol, BS8

A Grade II listed villa of wonderful proportions, where elegant Georgian heritage meets contemporary design in a beautifully curated interior.

Description

A distinguished Grade II listed townhouse, rich in character and architectural integrity, presenting four floors of beautifully arranged accommodation. Traditional Georgian proportions blend effortlessly with thoughtfully designed contemporary living spaces, including a spectacular open plan lower ground floor that forms the vibrant heart of the home. Constructed from warm Bath stone elevations and featuring classic sash windows—many complete with original working shutters, the property offers two floors of gracious formal living and two upper floors of well appointed bedroom accommodation.

Natural light cascades through the house, aided by the central lantern light, illuminating the elegant circulation spaces and enhancing the home’s sense of openness. The welcoming reception hall, with its rising staircase and mahogany hand turned handrail, sets a refined tone for the entire property.

The sitting room, featuring a full height bay window with working shutters and a period fireplace housing a modern gas living frame fire, is a beautifully balanced space. Beyond lies a versatile reception room currently used as a home office and an intimate study, both enjoying tranquil views over the landscaped rear garden. A cloakroom and boot cupboard are conveniently located on the half landing.

The lower ground floor is a triumph of modern design: an expansive, open plan space with poured resin flooring and underfloor heating, arranged into dedicated zones for cooking, dining and relaxing. The Ben Argent designed kitchen, a true social hub, boasts a generous central island, breakfast bar, excellent preparation surfaces and exceptional appliances from Gaggenau, Barazza and Miele.

The dual aspect layout includes a spacious dining area framed by the original range, and a serene garden nook with Crittall style windows and doors overlooking the sunken patio, perfect for quiet reading or morning coffee. A utility room, cloakroom and a highly practical vaulted store complete this level.

Across the first and top floors lie five generous bedrooms, four of which have original cupboards. These include the principal bedroom and an impressive top floor second bedroom with exposed beams and elevated rooftop views. A family bathroom, additional shower room and separate W/C serve the accommodation.

Outside
A rare luxury in Clifton, this property offers off street parking for 2 vehicles behind gated entry, an exceptional feature often lost to similar period homes. Mature planting ensures privacy at the front, while a side pathway leads to the beautifully landscaped rear garden. This outdoor sanctuary features a discreet sunken patio ideal for alfresco dining directly from the kitchen, well stocked flower borders, established climbers and a generous strip of lawn. A secluded seating terrace at the far end of the garden provides a peaceful retreat attracting morning sun. Notable planting includes Magnolia, Jasmine, Wisteria, ferns, Cordylines, bamboo screening and mature apple trees.
