Nestled in a prestigious and prized location within the heart of Clifton, an exquisite and substantial (circa 3,350 sq. ft.) six-bedroom Victorian town house which has been entirely transformed and comprehensively refurbished by the current owners to the highest of standards throughout. Spread over four floors, this exceptional family home benefits from a well-stocked and southerly facing rear garden (45ft x 25ft) alongside a separate self-contained one bedroom flat which currently generates £1,000 pcm. To be offered to the market with no onward chain.

A fine Clifton home which exudes period charm, this striking building is a perfect demonstration of the change from the classical Georgian style architecture to the more ornate style of the Victorian era. Trinity House (formally named 'First House') was designed by CF Rumley back in July 1868, a renowned Bristol architect who is responsible for many of Bristol's most notable buildings & finest period homes. This unique home blends the classical style of the 1840's terrace it is situated along with the more ornate style of its own period, subsequently in recent years the current owners have sympathetically & painstakingly renovated the property throughout which in turn gives it a contemporary and unique character which maximises the original features of the property.

This beautiful home retains an abundance of period features throughout including high ceilings, ornate moulded plasterwork, multi-paned sash windows with working shutters, exposed wooden floorboards and period features such as multiple ceiling roses as well as beautiful ceiling cornicing throughout. These blend seamlessly with many high-quality additions including a bespoke kitchen/dining space which is flooded with natural light due to the sublime glass extension undergone by the current owners.

Situated on the doorstep of Victoria Square. the house is ideally situated within easy reach of the best that Bristol has to offer. Within a short level walk is Clifton Village with its vast array of local boutique shops, restaurants and cafes, whilst also being close to the Clifton Suspension Bridge and the Downs. Park Street, The Triangle and Whiteladies Road are all within a few hundred metres with a diverse range of shops, bars, restaurants, museums, art galleries and music venues. The Bristol Beacon, St George's Concert Hall, The Hippodrome, the Harbourside and the medical and academic districts are all within 1km. A little further afield are the expansive green open spaces of Leigh Woods and Ashton Court, alongside being within easy reach of some of the city's best private schools.

Trinity house has undergone an entire refurbishment from the current owners and subsequently benefits from being finished to simply the highest of standards throughout, including a stunning kitchen extension designed by Paul Archer architects which presents a sublime space for cooking, dining and entertaining. The room has been fitted with a Bulthaup kitchen with a large island and a variety of Gaggenau appliances, high level glazing has been used alongside a skylight window to flood the space with natural light.

Internally the property offers a substantial & versatile accommodation of 3,350 sq.ft. spread over four floors, with six well-proportioned bedrooms (including annexe), four reception rooms & three bathrooms (including master with ensuite). Externally the property benefits from a well-proportioned & southerly 45ft x 25ft rear garden which enjoys most of the days sun.

Benefits from a self-contained one bedroom flat which generates currently £1,000 pcm. This versatile space is directly accessed from the front elevation via its own private entrance, and alongside being an ideal additional income stream is also perfect for teenagers, lodger or dependent relative. Alternatively, subject to the necessary planning consents and dependent upon one's needs, this could be opened up entirely and the footprint subsequently incorporated into the main house.To be offered to the market with no onward chain, enabling a prompt move for a potential purchaser. Properties finished to this standard are rarely seen to market, an early viewing is unhesitatingly recommended.
