Cornwallis Crescent, Bristol, BS8

The Property
At the top of a Grade II* listed Georgian terrace, this two-bedroom apartment makes the most of its elevation. Light pours in from above, and the uninterrupted views stretch south across the city to the countryside beyond.

The living room is the heart of the apartment. It is a generous, sunny room at the rear of the building, with a period fireplace, exposed beams and original brickwork. Daylight comes in through a vaulted ceiling and Velux skylight, and from the south-facing windows the view reaches over the Harbourside and the rooftops of South Bristol to Dundry Hill. In summer, hot air balloons regularly drift past, with a front-row seat during the Balloon Fiesta. On winter evenings, you can watch the lights come on across Bristol.

The spacious main bedroom has its own vaulted ceiling and skylight, so you wake up to natural light. The second bedroom is also a comfortable double, which suits a guest room, a nursery or a home office.

The separate kitchen is fitted with shaker-style units, composite granite worktops, an induction hob, an oven, and an integrated dishwasher, integrated washing machine and fridge/freezer. A modern bathroom and two hallway storage cupboards complete the accommodation. In all there is around 748 sq ft, with good head height throughout, which is unusual for a top-floor flat in a period building.

The Location:
Cornwallis Crescent is one of Clifton’s most admired Georgian terraces, with a real sense of community. Behind it, residents share around 1.5 acres of private gardens with lawns and mature trees. The gardens are often wonderfully quiet, so most days they feel like your own
private park. There is a communal barbecue, which makes the gardens a favourite spot for
summer evenings with friends.

Clifton Village is a few minutes’ walk away, with its independent shops, cafés, restaurants and
bars. The Suspension Bridge, the Observatory and the Downs are close by, and the
Harbourside and city centre are a short walk downhill.

The crescent is in the CH residents’ parking scheme, and there is usually space right outside.
Residents also have bike storage.
