Property description

1 Richmond Hill Avenue is a true Clifton gem; Grade II Listed, rich in period detail and arranged over four floors of elegantly proportioned accommodation. Sitting centrally within its deep plot, it also offers the rare combination of generous off-street parking and a lovely south south-west facing garden – the whole positioned behind discreet electric gates. Situated in a convenient position with easy access to Clifton village shopping (0.4 miles), Whiteladies Road (0.2 miles) and The Triangle (0.2 miles), the house also affords excellent access to the city centre, harbour side, the BBC and the BRI. Bristol is renowned for its high quality of schooling, and 1 Richmond Hill Avenue is within 0.3 miles of Christchurch Primary school, as well as within 0.5 miles of Clifton College and under a half mile to Clifton High School. Nearby is also Bristol Grammar School (0.3 miles), QEH (0.4 miles) and Badminton School for Girls (2.0 miles).Over the years the current owners have lovingly refurbished the property which is replete with period features; from barrelled brick ceilings in the lower ground floor, to rich ceiling cornice work and shuttered sash windows over the floors above. The accommodation too is incredibly adaptable – with the lower ground floor flat fully open to the house (providing a fifth bedroom suite and family room / dependent relative or au pair accommodation), or as separate one bedroom apartment to provide a useful monthly income. Over the floors above, the ground floor provides a stunning modern kitchen with access to a generous utility room, whilst across the limestone floor of the entrance hall is the full width dining room. Above, the full width drawing room gives access via French doors to a delightful canopied balcony – as well as an elegant open fire with marble surround. The master bedroom is situated to the rear, and is served by an exquisite shower room, complete with an exceptional walk-in shower, the base of which is a single slab of solid stone. Above lie three further bedrooms along with a family bathroom complete with a corner shower cubicle. The upper landing and stairwell are lit by a magnificent light well, rounding off an already impressive home of some 3440 sq. ft. Outside the house comes into its own; with three dedicated off-street parking spaces and room for several more vehicles if needed on the driveway. The Listed canopied veranda to the side of the house provides a lovely covered area for al-fresco dining, whilst to the rear the sunny garden is laid mostly to lawn complete with rear access to Frederic Place (and a short hop to Waitrose) and is incredibly private.In addition, there is the advantage of a detached brick built garage – some 23’ deep – with exposed pitched roof timbers and an ideal garage / workshop / extra storage. This too is accessed off Frederic Place, with direct access from a side door into the garden. Overall, this is an exquisite home of beautiful proportions which offers an expanse of flexible family accommodation, all situated in a convenient and central Clifton location.
