2 bedroom flat for sale

The Cloisters is a handsome Victorian building of impressive scale, set back behind beautifully kept, mature communal gardens. The front elevation is particularly striking, with a grand bay and some truly impressive sash windows, and it is clear the building has been carefully maintained over time.

Approached via a smart communal entrance and well-presented stairwell, the communal areas feel clean, characterful and in excellent order.

Flat 11 provides beautifully balanced, light-filled accommodation with excellent flow.

The apartment opens into a spacious entrance hall. Directly opposite is the family bathroom, finished with a full-size bath with shower over, Burlington basin, Savoy toilet and a high-spec heated towel rail (plumbed into the mains).

Adjacent sits a discreet yet practical utility cupboard housing the hot water tank, electric central heating boiler and immersion heaters, with space for a washing machine.

To the right of the entrance hall is the second bedroom, a well-proportioned double with large built-in wardrobes, tall ceilings with simple cornicing and an oversized sash window that fills the room with natural light. There is ample floor space for a desk, making it an excellent guest room or home office.

Next is the smart galley kitchen, beautifully executed with stone worktops and excellent storage. Integrated appliances include a fridge/freezer, Hotpoint full-size dishwasher, wine chiller and a Beko cooker with five-burner hob and multiple ovens. A large sash window brings in plenty of daylight, making it a bright and enjoyable space in which to cook.

Turning left from the entrance hall, a short flight of stairs leads up to a very useful large box / storage room – a rare asset in an apartment – complete with attractive cornicing and superb capacity for suitcases, seasonal items and general household storage. Back on the main level, a further walk-in wardrobe provides yet more practicality, with space for coats and shoes and provision for a tumble dryer.

The principal suite is a generous bedroom; comfortably accommodating a king-size bed, bedside tables and a dressing area. Tall ceilings, fine cornicing and a chandelier rose add to the period charm, whilst large sash windows provide excellent light and enjoy a south-westerly outlook towards the rear communal garden. The en-suite is finished to a high standard with a walk-in shower with sliding doors, Savoy w.c, vanity basin, heated towel rail and a powerful extractor fan.

Completing the accommodation is the exceptional main reception room – a truly elegant space with exquisite ceiling detailing, a wide sash bay that floods the room with light and a striking feature fireplace. The outlook is superb: across the front communal gardens and towards Clifton College playing fields beyond, with College Road itself remaining pleasantly quiet. It is an aspect and a room that are difficult to capture fully in words, and simply must be seen to be appreciated.

Outside

The building is set behind mature communal gardens to the front, creating a wonderfully green approach and excellent privacy. To the rear is a peaceful south-west facing communal garden with mature trees and planting, alongside an enclosed residents' parking area. Flat 11 benefits from an allocated off-street parking space, accessed via a quiet rear lane.

Overall, Flat 11 is a rare Clifton apartment combining impressive period proportions with modern comfort. With two generous bedrooms, two elegant bath / shower rooms, wonderful natural light and exceptional storage, it will appeal equally to downsizers, professionals and young families looking for something genuinely special.
