8 bedroom semi-detached house

15 Mortimer Road is a handsome 8-bedroom Victorian townhouse, arranged over three floors of well-proportioned living accommodation with an accessible cellar floor below.

For sale for the first time in over 30 years, the house has been much loved by the current owners, who most recently have completely refurbished the majority of the front sash windows and overhauled the hot water and heating system.

The house is very much laid out to its original plan; which local history suggests was (like much of the road) designed for a doctors surgery with family accommodation above; with two elegant front reception rooms, a large rear dining room and a good size kitchen / breakfast room also to the rear. Accessed from the kitchen is a single-skin extension, currently housing the utility room, a separate cloakroom and a larder store.

Throughout the house there is an enviable feeling of space, with a beautifully proportioned entrance hall (accessed via double doors), a wide staircase and generous upper floor landings.

Over the upper floors lie some 8 bedrooms, with three bedrooms each over the first and second floors and a bedroom accessed from each of the two half-landings.

The bedrooms are served by a family bathroom and a separate cloakroom on the first floor, and a separate shower room on the second floor.

The whole, some 4,300 sq. ft presents a unique opportunity to refurbish and reconfigure (subject to the usual consents) and create a bespoke Clifton townhouse, much configured internally to suit a new owners needs.

There are of course numerous permutations; with the chance to "open up the back" and bring in to play the enclosed rear garden, as well as create fewer bedrooms over the upper floors but incorporate additional bath / shower rooms creating several bedroom suites and family play rooms in the process.

In the cellar are two accessible basement rooms which provide future scope, both of which are currently used for general storage.

Outside:

The garden is a delightful feature of the house, being walled to three sides and accessible directly from the front of the house via the useful side entrance porch. The garden is mostly paved, with an older, now disused pond to the far corner and plenty of space for dining and entertaining.

The whole however lends itself to some sensible landscaping and could create a fabulous city garden space, perfect for families of all size and ages to enjoy. Mortimer Road is a sought-after residential road running between Lansdown Road and Clifton village, with Victoria Square just to the south. The location is excellent for local schooling; with Christchurch primary school literally at the end of the road and Clifton College, Clifton High School, BGS and QEH all within a mile's walk.

Clifton village is well known for its range of independent traders, cafés, restaurants and numerous boutique shops; whilst to the west is The Triangle, with a Waitrose express and access to Park Street with further well-known national and independent shops, bars and restaurants.

Bristol itself is widely regarded as the "gateway to the West" and the M5 is just over 5 miles away, with the M32 2 miles to the east. Regular trains leave Bristol Temple Meads to London (1hr 20) which is 2.7 miles away, and there is access to Europe and the rest of the UK from Bristol Airport just 7.6 miles to the south.
