Miles Road, Clifton, Bristol, BS8

2 Miles Road is a handsome semi-detached Victorian townhouse that has been much loved and cared for by its current owners since 1978. The property now presents a rare opportunity for a new owner to sympathetically refurbish and modernise throughout and put their stamp on this beautiful period home.

Accessed via original stone steps leading to the raised ground floor level, a handsome entrance portico leads to a useful entrance lobby with a stunning floor-to-ceiling curved leaded glass window. Partly glazed doors open into a grand and welcoming hallway, featuring ornate cornicing, a ceiling rose, intricate period detailing, and original tiled flooring, all of which set an elegant tone for the home.

The front of the house hosts a beautifully proportioned reception room with triple bay sash windows, a wealth of original features, and a marble-surround open fireplace. Opposite, an equally elegant dining room overlooks the rear garden; with high ceilings, a marble-surround fireplace, and exquisite period detailing.

Adjacent to the dining room is a dual-aspect morning room / second study offering views of the rear garden. A front-facing study, with its floor-to-ceiling sash window framed by original wooden shutters, enjoys views over the southwest-facing front garden. The raised ground floor also features a guest cloakroom, accessed conveniently from the main hallway.

The lower ground floor offers a flexible family living space and enjoys generous ceiling heights and plenty of natural light. This level has the added benefit of independent access via a side door leading into an informal entrance hall. This practical space is perfect for coats, boots, while a utility room provides valuable additional storage, a sink, and space for washing and drying machines, as well as housing a recently installed Worcester boiler.

The kitchen is a delightful, light-filled space with a south-westerly aspect, enhanced by triple bay sash windows overlooking the front garden. At its heart is a striking 'Coalbrookdale' stove range, serving as a captivating focal point, beautifully paired with an original wall-to-wall pine dresser—both offering a charming nod to the rich history of this wonderful home. A central island, freestanding gas cooker, and dishwasher effortlessly blend character with modern convenience.

Opposite the kitchen, a spacious family room overlooks the rear garden, featuring two sash windows with original shutters and an open fireplace. A breakfast room is located at the front of this floor, offering additional versatility. The lower ground floor also includes a WC, an old coal store offering valuable extra storage space (and with conversion potential), and a coat cupboard.

The original wooden staircase, complete with an elegant balustrade and cast-iron spindles, leads gracefully from the entrance hall to the first floor, where a useful airing cupboard is located on the half landing.

The dual-aspect principal bedroom is an impressive retreat, boasting access to an en-suite bathroom. The first floor also features three additional spacious bedrooms, each with a distinctive fireplace and sink. There is also a large and useful cupboard, currently utilised as additional storage for clothing.

The landing level between the first and second floors features a bathroom complete with a bath, overhead shower, sink, WC, and a large sash window. The second floor provides three additional bedrooms, including two generously sized doubles with original fireplaces and a charming single room, perfect as a child's bedroom or study.

Outside:

The southwest-facing front garden creates a delightful first impression, with stone pathways bordered by mature planting and a mature wisteria.

The rear garden, designed for privacy and low maintenance, features flagstone pathways, decorative chippings, and a central water feature, creating an ideal space for relaxation or entertaining. Gated off-street parking enhances the practicality of this exceptional family home.
