Ambrose Road | Cliftonwood
For Sale
Enjoying spectacular southerly views over Bristol’s harbour and many skyline features; a most appealing, mid-terraced Victorian period town house offering spacious 2 double bedroom, 2 bath/shower room accommodation with balcony and sunny south facing rear garden.
Ambrose Road forms part of a distinctive terrace of early Victorian houses, offering flexible accommodation arranged over four floors.
Without question the most salient feature which separates this from surrounding properties is the remarkable panoramic view to the rear elevation, very special at New Year’s Eve/Guy Fawkes’ night and Bristol’s International Balloon Fiesta.

The architecture is varied and striking with 400 acres of open space found on the Downs just under a mile away. There are also a number of excellent nurseries, primaries and secondary schools in the vicinity making it a popular area for family buyers. The city centre/harbourside is easily accessible by foot. The nearby Lion Pub is popular and there are two play parks within walking distance.
