The Home

Tucked away in the heart of Cliftonwood, one of Bristol’s most cherished neighbourhoods, this beautifully presented three-bedroom home offers a thoughtful blend of character, warmth and contemporary living. Behind its attractive façade lies a house that has been carefully updated to create spaces that feel both stylish and effortlessly liveable.

The ground floor centres around a wonderfully sociable open-plan living and dining space, where natural light moves easily through the home and a working fireplace provides a focal point during the cooler months. Equally suited to quiet evenings as it is to hosting friends and family, this is a space that feels immediately welcoming. To the rear, the kitchen sits comfortably as part of the flow of the house, creating a practical and connected heart to daily life while maintaining a sense of intimacy and character.

Upstairs, the sense of light and proportion continues. The principal bedroom is particularly generous, enjoying an airy feel that reflects the home's wider character, while two further bedrooms provide flexibility for family life, guests or home working. The family bathroom is a standout space in its own right, with high ceilings, excellent natural light and a well-considered layout incorporating both a separate bath and shower. Throughout, there is a pleasing balance between period features and contemporary touches, resulting in a home that feels both elegant and comfortable.

Outside

The rear garden has been thoughtfully arranged to make the most of its setting, creating a series of outdoor spaces that feel both practical and inviting. Immediately outside the house, a patio area provides the perfect spot for morning coffee or outdoor dining, while also incorporating a useful utility space.

Steps rise to a raised terrace above, a wonderfully secluded spot that enjoys excellent levels of natural light and offers a peaceful place to unwind at the end of the day. The tiered design adds both interest and versatility, allowing the garden to function as an extension of the living space throughout the seasons.
