Constitution Hill | Clifton Village
For Sale
A most attractive and intriguing, 5 bedroom, early Georgian period Grade II listed townhouse, in a convenient location for Clifton Village and Bristol's harbourside, having 2 reception rooms and separate kitchen/breakfast room plus south facing town garden.
Having been built circa 1726, the house is steeped in history and exudes character including multi-paned sash windows with working shutters, period fireplaces and ornate moulded plasterwork. The house is now to be sold for the first time since 1994, with the seller having lovingly maintained the property, it being full of charm and character more akin to a comfortable country farmhouse. Now to be sold with no onward chain.
The property is ideally located on the Clifton and Cliftonwood borders, making it highly convenient for access to all central areas including Park Street and the harbourside, whilst also being a short walk of Clifton Village and excellent schools including Bristol Grammar, QEH and Bristol Cathedral.
