Property Description

Worlds End House is believed to be one of the oldest houses in Bristol and is thought to have originally been a 17th century merchants garden house and later a farm house and is Grade ll listed as a tribute to this history and period charm.
This house occupies an incredibly discrete position nestled amongst the colourful slopes of Cliftonwood. It has surprisingly large accommodation at just over 3000 sq. Feet and is predominantly arranged over three floors. It occupies a stunning yet tranquil position and has a true 'country feel' with much of its outlook over greenery or the Bristol harbour. These incredible harbour views include highlights such as the ss Great Britain, Bristol dockyards, Dundry Hill and Lansdown Hill in the distance.
The current owners have thoughtfully enhanced this historic property. It has well proportioned rooms with the principal areas enjoying the southerly aspect and spectacular views through the house's many large sash windows.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of units with wooden worktops and space for a large range cooker and fridge. This is supplemented by larder and a rear utility room. The adjacent drawing room is triple aspect equipped with central fireplace and stunning Georgian cabinetry. The main dining room is very atmospheric with spectacular floors and ceilings as well as a warming fireplace. A utility room, wetroom and access to the cellar conclude this floor.
The first floor has a flexible layout and currently contains a second reception room, which enjoys a further elevated harbour view and is again triple aspect. There is also a master suite with triple sash windows and large adjacent en suite bathroom. There is a further guest room to this floor.
The second floor is predominantly used as two bedrooms and would make an ideal teenage floor, with two double bedrooms, sitting room with kitchenette and family bathroom.
