2 bed terraced house for sale

Ambra Terrace, Cliftonwood BS8

"The light that floods in through the large double-glazed sash windows and the striking full-height Crittall door, in the winter, it’s wonderfully cosy with the log burner crackling away. It's my favourite spot to curl up with a good book. The patio garden has been my peaceful escape, perfect for alfresco dinners and slow weekend mornings. Being just a stone’s throw from both Clifton Village and the Harbourside has made this one of the most special places to live in Bristol."

The Home

Tucked away on one of Cliftonwood’s most characterful streets, this beautifully restored two-bedroom Victorian terrace perfectly balances period charm with refined, contemporary design.

The space flows effortlessly onto the garden, creating an easy connection between indoors and out perfect for everyday living or entertaining friends on summer evenings.

The living space is anchored by original Victorian wooden floors, lovingly restored to their former beauty.

A custom-built, hidden bike shed offers secure storage while keeping the design clean and considered, perfectly complementing the home’s thoughtful balance of style and function.
