Located in Leigh Woods, Burwall House or Burwalls is a Grade II-listed Jacobean building that stands next to the Clifton Suspension Bridge on Bridge Road.
The closest residence to the Suspension Bridge, the penthouse is arguably the most impressive home within it and occupies the entire top floor and with dramatic views over the Bridge and across the Avon Gorge.
The three-bedroom penthouse apartment measures approximately 2,526 sq ft and enjoys far-reaching views south of the city and towards Lansdown.
The apartment is approached via an impressive and elegant communal hall with stairs and passenger lift providing access to the Penthouse.
Upon entry, a generous entrance hall provides an immediate sense of space. Engineered wood flooring runs underfoot, which is a feature throughout most of the apartment. The open-plan sitting/dining room is bathed in light due to the sunny south-westerly orientation.
There are exposed wooden beams, cast-iron radiators and a gas fireplace. An opening leads through to the kitchen with a range of wall and base units and integrated Siemens appliances including fridge/freezer, dishwasher, five ring induction hob with extractor above, oven, microwave and warming tray below. There is plenty of space for a dining table and doors open out to a south-facing terrace with views towards Dundry, Lansdown and beyond.
The principal bedroom is dual-aspect with show-stopping views of the iconic Clifton Suspension bridge and towards Avon Gorge. A beautiful fireplace sits centrally.
There are a range of fitted wardrobes and this bedroom is served by a four piece en-suite with a freestanding roll top bath, separate shower, WC and basin. Bedroom two is adjacent, enjoying similar views of the Suspension bridge and benefitting from ample fitted storage. The third bedroom enjoys a westerly orientation and is of good size.
The family bathroom is accessed from the entrance hall with stylish marble tiles, bath, separate shower, WC and basin. There is also a generous terrace with plenty of space for outdoor seating and al fresco dining.
Burwalls House is surrounded by private and tranquil communal gardens, predominantly laid to lawn with a number of mature trees. There is allocated off-road parking for two vehicles.
This spectacular apartment is on the market with Savills with a guide price of £1,995,000
Troy Budd from Savills residential office in Clifton, Bristol, said: “This is an incredibly rare opportunity to buy a home just metres from Bristol’s world famous landmark, with show-stopping views, not only of the bridge but over the Avon Gorge. The Grade II listed building is somewhat of a landmark in itself, built just eight years after the Clifton Suspension Bridge in 1872. Steeped in history and rich in Jacobean character, it was converted into apartments a decade ago.
“The penthouse occupies the entire top floor and is nothing short of spectacular. Boasting over 2,500 square feet of beautifully presented accommodation, plus a generous terrace, it is hard to think of a more exciting apartment on the market right now."
