"OFFERS INVITED BETWEEN ?1,250,000 & ?1,350,000.A fine Grade II* listed Victorian house (c.1845), forming part of this famous and most handsome terrace with an elegant Bath stone facade styled by Richard Shackleton Pope. The property has well-presented, character filled accommodation over five floors, an above average size and well-tended 75 south facing garden to the rear and the rare commodity of two garages. The house is presently configured as two separate dwellings; a three floor maisonette - basement, ground floor and first floor and a two floor maisonette on the upper floors each with its own central heating system and utilities supplies. This arrangement offers an incoming purchaser true flexibility, whether seeking to accommodate a dependant relative, to take advantage of some useful rental income or to convert the house back into a single dwelling - care has been taken with the conversion to facilitate this and outline planning permission has been approved.

Some stunning original features include intricate ceiling mouldings, beautiful fireplaces, working shutters to large sash windows and a wonderful central stairwell. A predominant attribute to this special house is the first floor drawing room being adjoined to the dining room via folding doors. Three grand sash windows with juliet balconies provide a beautiful outlook to the front over the mature Vyvyan Terrace Gardens that offer a wonderful amenity to the residents of the terrace. In summary, this house represents a truly rare opportunity for those that require a classic town residence adorned with carefully retained features from this much celebrated period of fine architecture.

SUMMARY OF ACCOMMODATION The three floor maisonette comprises: Ground Floor - reception hallway via entrance porch, two bedrooms, bathroom and separate shower room and stairs leading to a mezzanine level kitchen. First Floor - drawing room connected to the dining room and landing storage cupboard (accommodating intact, disused staircase to upper maisonette). Basement - entrance lobby, reception room, galley kitchen, two bedrooms, shower room and separate WC (planning to convert to separate living accommodation may be required).

The two floor upper maisonette comprises:
Floor 1 - accessed by an external staircase from the rear garden, entrance lobby and reception hallway, two reception rooms, kitchen and understairs utility room, and stairs leading to floor 2.
Floor 2 - landing and three bedrooms, bathroom, shower room and separate WC.

Externally there is a front courtyard providing access to the basement accommodation, a store room with one CH boiler and three vaulted stores beneath the Vyvyan Terrace pavement and a rear courtyard providing another access to the basement accommodation. The rear garden measuring 75 feet (23m) has pedestrian rear access to Vyvyan Road and gives access to the external staircase to the upper maisonette. There are two double length garages facing onto Vyvyan Road (see site and floor plan opposite). LOCATION Vyvyan Terrace is an address held in extremely high regard. This is owed to the uniquely convenient proximity to Clifton Village and the breathtaking example of Victorian and Georgian architecture that forms one of the citys most prized and widely admired terraces. The variety of shops, boutiques and restaurants in Clifton Village are quite literally at the end of the road as well as several bus routes providing easy city centre access. Indeed, Bristols City Centre itself is within only one and a half miles allowing access to the national motorway network via the M32 and rail links to London Paddington from Temple Meads mainline station. The vast expanse of Cliftons Downs can be accessed across Christchurch Green (at the end of the road) as can the historic landmark of Isambard Kingdom Brunels world famous suspension bridge spanning the Avon Gorge (in itself, a designated area of outstanding natural beauty). The area is particularly well served for schooling in both state and private sectors with Clifton College, Clifton High and Christchurch Primary schools being within quarter of a mile of the subject property (see location map opposite).
