Cornwallis House, Cornwallis Grove, Bristol, BS8

Nestled on Cornwallis Grove, Cornwallis House is moments from the heart of Clifton Village, renowned for its array of independent boutique shops, bars, coffee shops, and renowned restaurants such as The Ivy Clifton, Cote Brasserie, and The Hotel Du Vin at The Avon Gorge.

Originally built in 1794, Cornwallis House boasts mid-Georgian architectural elements, including limestone ashlar and stucco construction. Extended around 1820, the property has undergone several transformations before its conversion into luxury flats approximately 40 years ago. Both the building and surrounding gardens are historically significant and were once part of the 'La Retraite' private school for girls.

Bristol is celebrated for its independent schools and two world-class universities. Clifton College is just under a mile away, while Bristol Airport is 8 miles away and Bristol Temple Meads Train Station is 2.5 miles away, offering convenient access to London and mainland Europe.

Flat 8 at Cornwallis House offers independent access directly opposite its allocated parking space. The entrance hall, adorned with period detailing, sets a tone of grandeur that continues throughout the property.

Positioned centrally within the building, the flat features principal rooms including the reception room, kitchen, and principal bedroom, all enjoying a southerly aspect with floor-to-ceiling sash windows. These windows flood the space with light and offer stunning views over the communal gardens and towards the rolling hills of Dundry.

The spacious reception room accommodates multiple sofas, armchairs, and a large dining table. Ornate cornices, double-height ceilings, and two ceiling roses enhance the historical charm. This room also boasts glass-fronted wooden integrated arched cupboards and a feature fireplace with a marble surround.

The well-appointed kitchen, accessible from both the main hallway and the reception room, features a range of floor and wall-mounted cupboards and storage drawers. Integrated, mainly 'Neff' appliances include a washing machine, dishwasher, electric oven and microwave, fridge/freezer, and a gas hob with extraction. A rear door leads to the south-facing balcony, with steps down to the extensive manicured communal gardens.

The flat comprises two spacious double bedrooms. The front bedroom currently serves as a guest bedroom but is ideal for a home study or additional reception/dining room. The principal bedroom at the rear features impressive proportions and a fully tiled en-suite shower room. A further bathroom off the main hall includes a bath with an overhead shower, heated towel rail, sink, and W.C.

Additional storage is provided by several useful cupboards within the flat, as well as access to a large, shared basement storage vault.

Flat 8 at Cornwallis House boasts exclusive access to a private south-facing balcony, accessible from a rear door in the kitchen. This delightful space is perfect for al fresco dining or enjoying an evening sundowner, with ample room for a small dining table and chairs.
