Full Description: The property is an exceptional semi-detached Victorian home which has been meticulously renovated by the current owners. Original character has been carefully preserved and enhanced, resulting in a home that balances impressive period proportions with contemporary craftsmanship and design.<br /><br />On the ground floor an impressive bay-fronted drawing room overlooks the front driveway, creating the perfect to entertain or relax featuring a log burner with impressive stone surround, gorgeous Victorian proportions, elaborate plaster work to the ceilings and solid wood flooring.<br /><br />Off the entrance hall is a guest WC and cleverly designed understairs storage.<br /><br />To the rear, a dramatic double-height bay forms the architectural focal point of the house, designed to maximise the south-easterly aspect. The dining room and kitchen/family room below are all flooded with natural light and creates a strong connection between the rooms. <br /><br />Occupying the lower ground floor, the impressive open-plan kitchen and family room has been comprehensively remodelled to create the heart of the home. Crafted by renowned Bristol joinery specialists Young & Norgate, the kitchen features bespoke timber cabinetry, a substantial central island and striking marble worktops and splashbacks. Microcement flooring with underfloor heating runs throughout, while a well-appointed pantry incorporates an integrated American-style fridge freezer, additional preparation space and a separate wine store. A large pivoting glazed door opens directly onto the landscaped garden.<br /><br />Positioned at the front of the lower ground floor is a further reception area, currently arranged as a snug. Characterful exposed beams, a wood-burning stove and a three-sash bay window create a cozy space. A separate utility room and separate plant cupboard complete this floor.<br /><br />Positioned on the half landing, a bespoke home office enjoys a south-facing aspect and has been thoughtfully fitted with integrated cabinetry, shelving and desk space. <br /><br />The first floor is occupied by two impressive bedroom suites, each spanning the full width of the house. The principal suite overlooks the front elevation and features a luxurious en suite shower room alongside a substantial walk-in wardrobe, whilst the guest suite enjoys a outlook over the rear garden and benefits from a cleverly designed en suite shower room. <br />The generous landings on both the first and second floors further enhance the sense of space, with one currently arranged as an additional study area. <br /><br />The second floor provides two further double bedrooms, each with decorative fireplaces and sash windows overlooking the rear garden, complemented by a beautifully appointed family bathroom featuring a bath, separate shower and double vanity unit. A flexible additional room, currently used as a children's den, could readily serve as a fifth bedroom if required, whilst a dedicated gym and access to a fully boarded loft complete the accommodation.<br /><br />The rear garden is south east facing with a gorgeous stone wall keeping it private and enclosed. The space has been landscaped into: a paved patio extending from the kitchen; a good sized level lawn with planting around the exterior; a raised area with wood fired hot tub, sweet greenhouse and two al fresco dining areas. There is side access from the front of the property with a secure gate.<p><br />Located on one of Clifton's most desirable residential roads, Apsley Road offers the perfect balance of peaceful surroundings and city living. Whiteladies Road, The Downs and Clifton Village are all within easy walking distance, providing an exceptional range of shops, cafés, restaurants, green spaces and transport links.</p>
