2 bed flat for sale

Beckspool Road, Frenchay, Bristol BS16

Riverwood House, Frenchay, once the private residence of the celebrated chocolate and confectionery manufacturer Joseph Fry, offers a rare opportunity to enjoy refined Georgian living within one of the area’s most historic and picturesque settings.

Positioned beside Frenchay Common and overlooking the Frome Valley, this elegant Grade II listed ground floor residence combines heritage, tranquillity, and understated luxury.

Approached via its own private entrance, the property delivers an immediate sense of independence and calm, with the feel of a traditional home rather than an apartment.

Inside, approximately 80 sq m of beautifully proportioned accommodation is enhanced by tall ceilings and period detailing, creating light-filled rooms that feel both grand and inviting, ideal for relaxed day-to-day living and effortless entertaining alike.

The layout flows from a welcoming porch and hallway into a charming kitchen with adjoining garden room, where mornings can be spent enjoying views across the private garden. A generous lounge/dining room, centred around a wood-burning stove, provides an atmospheric setting for evenings in or hosting guests. Two elegant double bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom complete the accommodation, offering comfort, versatility, and a sense of retreat.

Outside, the landscaped private garden offers a secluded space for alfresco dining, quiet reflection, or summer gatherings. A substantial outhouse provides excellent additional storage or the potential to create a perfect home office or studio, subject to fitting electricity. The proximity of Frenchay Common and the Frome Valley invites leisurely walks, outdoor pursuits, and a connection to nature just moments from the door. An allocated parking space and ownership of half of the front grounds further enhance the appeal.

Altogether, Riverwood House presents a distinctive lifestyle opportunity, a home where historic character, modern comfort, and an exceptional setting combine to create a truly special place to live.
