House For Sale £1,450,000
We bought Duchess Road in 1997 and have absolutely loved living here. This is where we brought up our family and we have so many happy memories of friendly get-togethers with the other children and families in the road over the years. There is a lovely sense of community here, maybe because most of the houses in the road are family homes rather than flats.
What initially attracted us to this area was the feeling of almost being in the countryside, as Duchess Road is particularly quiet, even though we are five minutes away from so many attractions. Five minutes to Whiteladies Road, with all the shopping and dining possibilities, not to mention the cinema; five minutes’ walk from the Downs, which we have particularly appreciated during this lockdown period; five minutes from my children’s schools; five minutes from the doctors' surgery, two minutes’ walk from Clifton Down railway station.
Clifton Lawn Tennis Club 100 metres up the road as well as the Alma Tavern just around the corner, where you can often see theatre productions in their small theatre.
We considered ourselves particularly lucky as we have a long view from both front and rear of the house, so we really don't feel overlooked. The garden is of a good size for Clifton, and we have taken full advantage of it to have barbecues in the Summer. It is a real pleasure just to sit and read a book with a cup of coffee (or a glass of wine) in the peace and tranquillity of the garden. We get the sun in the morning at the house end so often have breakfast outside on the patio. We tend to use the patio at the other end of the garden in the afternoons and early evening, as there is where you can catch the last rays of sunshine.
The house has a self-contained basement flat which we have let out and which has provided us with a healthy income over the years. We have had some really lovely tenants and, because the walls of the house are so thick, we hear nothing from below.
We shall be very sad to leave Duchess Road as we have a lifetime of happy memories here, but, now that our children have flown the next, it is really too big for us and we feel it is time to downsize to something more manageable.
I am sure that any prospective buyer would be very happy to live here in such a convenient and friendly spot.<br /><br />
