Exchanged in 6 weeks
Set within a handsome late Victorian / Edwardian period townhouse with high ceilings and a wide bay window bringing in lots of natural light - particularly for a garden flat - and enjoys a simple and pared back style with a hand built kitchen.
The flat is very generously proportioned (circa 700 sq.ft.) with a large sitting room and sociable, semi open plan kitchen and dining areas providing a slightly more civilised separation between living and dining and a potential work from home space as well.
The double bedroom is large with double glazed doors opening onto the back garden. The bathroom is also spacious with bath / shower, w/c, wash hand basin, boiler cupboard and space for the washing machine - the Europeans have their washing machines in the bathroom and we're slowly cottoning on!
Outside is a sizeable and southerly facing patio garden - low maintenance in the winter but perfect for outdoor entertaining in the warmer months before heading out to the bars and restaurants on offer up and down Whiteladies Road. There is handy rear pedestrian access - vital for bikes and muddy boots.
It is a quite simply superb location close to the best that Clifton and Bristol have to offer and so much of it within walking distance.
Whiteladies Road is 300 metres away and offers an array of amenities both practical and for pleasure;
Services - Post office, supermarket, bus stops, train link to Temple Meads;
An exceptional range of restaurants - Bravas, Pazzo, Bosco, Muino, Condesa to name a few;
Cafes - The newly opened Gail's is on the corner, Bakesmiths, Fed, 404 Bakes and the Budapest Cafe;
Provisions - Papadeli, Ruby and White Butchers, M&S foodhall, Spiny Lobster fishmonger, organic food shops and a Farmers' Market every Saturday with fantastic bread and local produce.
