Clifford Road, Fishponds

"We love living here - this has been our first family home and there are so many happy memories and milestones tied up with this house including our toddler's first steps in the back lane. We love breakfasts sitting in the peaceful garden in the morning and the dining room has been the perfect hosting spot for family and friends. Watching the Bristol balloons and firework displays from the loft windows have been real highlights!"

The Home

A beautifully presented and deceptively spacious Victorian home, measuring approximately 1,438 sq ft. The home is arranged over three floors, with three bedrooms, two reception rooms, a refreshed kitchen and a thoughtfully designed garden.

There is a wonderful sense of space throughout, with generous room proportions, high ceilings and plenty of original character. The ground floor is arranged around two separate reception rooms, giving the house a lovely sense of flexibility. The front living room is a warm and comfortable space, while the dining room to the rear is ideal for family meals, entertaining or simply gathering at the end of the day.

The kitchen has been thoughtfully refreshed by DreamDoors in early 2025, with new cupboard doors, worktops, sink, oven, hob and extractor. The result is a practical and smart space that works beautifully alongside the more characterful reception rooms.

Upstairs, there are two generous bedrooms and the family bathroom. The principal bedroom has excellent proportions, high ceilings and plenty of storage, while the second bedroom is currently arranged as a child's bedroom but could equally work as a home office or guest room.

The loft conversion provides a fantastic third bedroom and ensuite, with an impressive amount of floor space and useful eaves storage. At approximately 18'1" x 16'8", this is far more than just an occasional loft room and offers genuine flexibility for a principal bedroom, guest suite or additional living space.

The Outside

The garden has been completely transformed by the current owners, having been professionally designed and relandscaped from what was previously a simple square patch of lawn.

It now provides a much more considered outdoor space, with a combination of lawn, planting and patio areas that make it feel like a natural extension of the house. There's space for children to play, somewhere to sit in the sun and plenty of scope for outdoor dining and entertaining.

A particularly useful feature is the shared access lane to the rear, which feels like an extension of the garden and is especially handy for families. It's an ideal place for little ones to learn to ride a bike or simply have a little more freedom to play outside.
