"This impressive penthouse apartment, spanning around 2,000 sq. ft, occupies the entire second floor of a grand, late Georgian mansion. Tucked away in the sought after yet tranquil Leigh Woods, it offers breath taking views across Bristol, fabulous open plan living spaces and three sizeable double bedrooms.

Summary The heart of this home lies in its fabulous, open plan living spaces, bathed in natural light from multiple windows and skylights. These areas seamlessly blend attractive original features with high quality modern fittings.

The drawing room is truly tremendous. Its dual aspect nature and vaulted ceilings, commissioned by the owners and complemented by large skylights, create a bright, spacious, and character filled room that also offers a view to the suspension bridge. Exposed beams are a feature throughout the living areas, artfully dividing the rooms whilst maintaining a seamless flow. A built in bookcase provides a stunning focal point alongside a recently fitted wood burner and hearth. To the far end is a space that the owners have used as a home office cum music room, which in turn opens into the dining area.

The Wren Infinity Plus kitchen, fitted in 2022, and adjacent dining areas are cleverly separated from the drawing room by attractive open exposed beams and woodwork. The dining area with its far reaching views frequently enhanced by balloons offers a charming space for meals with friends and family, and dovetails in nicely with larger social events . The kitchen boasts a range of matching base and wall mounted units, quartz worktops, and integrated appliances including a fridge, freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, wine fridge, and a free standing AGA Rangemaster cooker. Both the kitchen and dining areas are fitted with underfloor heating.

The spacious master bedroom is a real treat, featuring a large sash window that not only floods the room with light but also offers magnificent vistas, including the world famous Clifton Suspension Bridge. It benefits from both an en suite shower room and a walk in wardrobe. The two additional well proportioned double bedrooms are equally impressive. Bedroom two includes a walk in wardrobe and an en suite with a walk in shower, WC, and basin. Bedroom three offers a charming view of nearby gardens from the rear elevation and features built in wardrobes. Completing this level is a characterful family bathroom featuring a stylish free standing roll top bath, WC, and basin, along with a built in storage cupboard, all accessed from a smart hallway.

Ascending to the roof terrace maintenance deck, you will discover what are likely some of Bristol s best 360 degree views making it an excellent vantage point for enjoying the annual Bristol Balloon Fiesta.. Notable landmarks include the Clifton Suspension Bridge, the harbourside, and the rolling hills near Dundry on the horizon.

Further enhancing this property is the convenience of off street parking located at the front of the building. Permit parking is also available on what is a quiet road.

Vendor s Comments "We were first struck by the beautiful views from the property. The layout has been fantastic particularly for family friends coming over, everybody who comes in seems to love it also. The roof terrace has been fantastic for watching balloons and fireworks, and doing pizza parties through the summer.

The area is very well connected, most days if we re off we walk over the bridge into Clifton village or walk through Leigh Woods. Ashton court is also lovely to have on our doorstep, and being able to get to Ashton Gate and Bedminster easily is useful. "
