Hope Square, Bristol, BS8

The present owners purchased the property in 1998 and over the years have upgraded the house including replacing the bathrooms and shower rooms. The house is well maintained and period features include fireplaces, ornate and simple ceiling cornices, archways, window shutters, panelled doors and moulded skirting boards and architraves.

The elegant interior has a warm and friendly atmosphere with comfortable ceiling heights. The accommodation is arranged over five floors. The first, second and third floors in particular, have superb views across to Dundry Hill and the Ashton Court Estate. On the ground floor, the well equipped kitchen is fitted with a gas fire Aga and has folding doors in a wide archway, opening into the dining room connecting both rooms. Similarly on the first floor, the sitting room connects with the drawing room. The drawing room is a fine room with ornate ceiling cornice, dado rails, and a marble period fireplace with wooden mantelpiece is fitted with a cast iron grate and coal effect gas fire. On the second floor, the principal bedroom with lovely views, has an en suite dressing area and bathroom. There is a further bedroom currently used as a study. The third floor has three bedrooms, a bathroom and a contemporary staircase with glazed balustrade rises to the roof terrace from which are stunning 360 degree views of the city and across to Dundry Hill.

The lower ground floor could be converted into a one bedroom self-contained apartment with access from the exterior, subject to any planning consent. This floor comprises a bedroom, utility room and shower/cloakroom with access from outside over stone steps leading up to ground level at the front of the house.
