Set in a desirable road in the coveted area of Sneyd Park, the apartment is a few hundred yards from the Downs with green open space and an approximate 500 metre walk to Café Retreat – popular for a weekend coffee.

The Apartment
South-Facing Sitting Room (16' 1'' x 14' 3'' (4.90m x 4.34m))
The sitting room is an elegant and wonderfully light principal reception room.
A pair of south-facing casement windows with multi-paned overlights draws in an abundance of natural light, while the ornately carved stone mantelpiece and hearth provide a handsome focal point.
Moulded skirtings, picture rail, cornicing and an ornate ceiling rose complete a room that combines impressive proportions with the architectural detail expected of a property of this period.
Kitchen/Breakfast Room (14' 11'' x 12' 8'' (4.54m x 3.86m))
The kitchen/breakfast room is another particularly generous room, with ample space for both cooking and informal dining.
It is comprehensively fitted with Shaker-style base and eye-level units, drawers and glazed display cabinetry, complemented by granite-effect work surfaces.
Integrated appliances include a double oven, 4-ring induction hob, extractor hood, dishwasher and washing machine, with space for an American-style fridge/freezer and tumbler dryer. A pair of sash windows overlooks the rear elevation, while a concealed Vaillant gas-fired combination boiler completes the practical specification.
Two Excellent Double Bedrooms (15' 5'' x 12' 2'' + 14' 11'' x 9' 10'' (4.70m x 3.71m + 4.55m x 3.00m))
The impressive proportions continue into both bedrooms.
Bedroom 1 (15’5” x 12’2”) (4.70m x 3.70m) is a particularly generous principal bedroom with a pair of south-facing casement windows and overlights. The chimney breast, recessed areas with floating bookshelves, moulded skirtings and simple cornicing add character while retaining an excellent sense of space.
Bedroom 2 (14’11” x 9’10”) (4.55m x 3.00m) is another genuine double bedroom, with a pair of sash windows overlooking the rear elevation.
The accommodation is completed by the family bathroom/WC, fitted with a panelled bath with shower screen, wall-mounted shower and handheld attachment, WC and pedestal wash handbasin. Porcelanosa wood-effect tiled flooring and tiled walls complete the room.
Exceptional Cellar Storage
A particularly valuable feature of this apartment is the amount of additional storage available at basement level.
Accessed from the communal reception hall, the basement includes a substantial communal reception hall (15’8” x 15’5”) (4.78m x 4.70m), shared between the three apartment owners.
The apartment then benefits from two private storage rooms:
Private Storage Room 1: (9’8” x 5’6”) (3.01m x 1.72m)
Private Storage Room 2: (15’3” x 14’6”) (4.65m x 4.47m)
For an apartment, this level of dedicated ancillary storage is an unusually useful asset, providing space for everything from bicycles and sporting equipment to luggage, wine or household items.
Tandem Double Garage (26' 5'' x 9' 7'' (8.05m x 2.92m))
The property further benefits from a tandem double garage, a significant advantage in this sought-after location.
Garage in Block: Situated within the garage block to the rear, the garage has a metal up-and-over door with both light and power connected.
Communal Gardens
The beautifully maintained communal gardens provide an attractive and surprisingly private green setting.
A broad, level lawn extends across the front of numbers 21 and 23 Downleaze and serves the six apartments within the two buildings. Set behind a high hedge, the garden enjoys a pleasing degree of privacy, with deep established borders containing an array of flowering plants and shrubs together with mature wisteria.
More than simply an attractive outlook, the garden has become a sociable space for residents and contributes to the appealing sense of community within the buildings.
To the rear are two further sitting-out areas, offering pleasant spots for a morning coffee or late-afternoon drink.
Downleaze & Sneyd Park
The location is one of the apartment’s greatest attractions.
Downleaze is a particularly desirable address within Sneyd Park, characterised by handsome period architecture, mature greenery and exceptional proximity to the open spaces of the Downs.
From the property, the Downs are just a few hundred yards away, placing one of Bristol’s finest expanses of green open space virtually on the doorstep. Café Retreat is approximately 500 metres away, providing a popular destination for a weekend coffee.
The result is a rare combination: The elegance and proportions of a substantial Victorian property, the convenience of apartment living and an enviable setting in one of Bristol’s most established residential areas.
With circa 985 sq.ft. Of accommodation, 2 excellent double bedrooms, a superb south-facing sitting room, spacious kitchen/breakfast room, extensive private cellar storage, tandem double garage and communal gardens, this is an unusually complete apartment in a prime Sneyd Park location.
