2 bedroom apartment for sale

An opulent & exceedingly spacious apartment occupying the hall floor of a striking period building situated along one of Clifton’s most coveted roads.

Description

The Cloisters is a substantial Victorian residence of considerable presence, positioned discreetly behind well-tended, mature communal gardens. Its handsome façade is immediately eye-catching, with an impressive bay frontage and large sash windows.

Entry is via a smart communal doorway and a neatly presented stairwell, both of which set a positive tone — the shared spaces are clean, well looked after and full of period character.

A welcoming entrance hall sits at the heart of the apartment. Directly ahead is the main bathroom, fitted with a full-sized bath and shower above, a Burlington wash basin, Savoy WC and a mains-connected heated towel rail, all finished to a high standard.

Beside this is a cleverly designed utility cupboard, neatly concealing the hot water cylinder, electric boiler and immersion heaters, with room and plumbing for a washing machine.

To the right of the hallway is the second bedroom, a comfortable double with excellent proportions. High ceilings with understated cornicing, extensive built-in wardrobes and a large sash window create a bright and airy feel. There is plenty of additional space for a desk, making it equally suitable as a guest bedroom or study.

The separate kitchen is both stylish and highly practical, finished with stone work surfaces and ample cabinetry. Integrated appliances include a fridge/freezer, full-size Hotpoint dishwasher, wine cooler and a Beko range-style cooker with five-ring hob and multiple ovens. A generous sash window ensures the room benefits from strong natural light.

From the left-hand side of the entrance hall, a short staircase leads to an unusually spacious box room an excellent storage solution rarely found in apartments. With decorative cornicing and significant capacity for larger household items, it is a particularly valuable addition. On the main level, a further walk-in wardrobe provides even more storage, with space for coats and footwear and provision for a tumble dryer.

The principal bedroom is a generous and elegant space, comfortably accommodating a king-sized bed alongside additional furniture. Period detailing including cornicing and a ceiling rose enhance its character, while tall sash windows frame a pleasant south-westerly outlook across the rear communal gardens. The en suite shower room is attractively finished with a walk-in shower enclosure, Savoy WC, vanity basin, heated towel rail and efficient extraction.

The standout room is the impressive main reception space. With detailed ceiling mouldings, a wide bay window and an eye-catching fireplace, it offers both charm and scale. Natural light pours in, and the outlook across the front gardens towards the playing fields of Clifton College is particularly appealing, with College Road itself remaining relatively quiet. It is a room that makes a lasting impression.

Outside, the property enjoys attractive communal gardens to the front, providing privacy and greenery. To the rear is a south-west facing shared garden with established trees and planting, together with a secure residents’ parking area. Flat 11 includes an allocated off-street parking space, accessed via a quiet lane at the rear.

Location

The Cloisters offers superb access to respected schools, excellent transport links, abundant green spaces and quality leisure facilities. The neighbourhood is home to several prominent independent schools, including Clifton College and Clifton High School, both located within the wider Clifton area and easily reached from College Road. Transport connections are strong, with frequent local bus services running through Clifton and College Road, linking the area directly to Bristol city centre and surrounding districts. The nearest rail station, Clifton Down, lies approximately 1.4 miles away from the property. For air travel, Bristol Airport sits just 6.5 miles from Clifton, providing fast and regular bus and taxi routes into the city and surrounding areas.

The area is especially well served by parks and green spaces, with The Downs (Clifton Down and Durdham Down) forming one of Bristol’s largest and most cherished open parklands, stretching across the northern edge of Clifton and offering miles of walking routes, open grassland and views over the Avon Gorge. Leisure amenities are equally impressive, with the celebrated Clifton Lido featuring an outdoor heated pool, spa and restaurant—quietly tucked away within the residential streets of Clifton and offering a year round urban retreat for relaxation and well being.
