10 is a remarkable grade II* listed late Georgian town house, set within a beautiful concave terrace circa 1792 – 1827, perched on the southern slope of Clifton with a sunny orientation overlooking the city and harbour to the hills in the distance.

It has easy access to the heart of Clifton Village some 300 metres away, not least to the restaurants, cafes, boutique shops and independent traders.

It is also easy to get to the city centre from here, with its theatres, museums, art galleries and train station. Ten minutes down the hill on foot are the harbour and the ferries to town.

Inside This wonderful 7 to 8 bedroom house is ideal for an evolving family.

It is set over five floors, with the principal 3 floors currently used as a generous 4 double bedroom home, the 3rd floor as a 2-bedroom attic 'flat' and the lower ground floor as a spacious 2-bed apartment.

The entrance vestibule opens into a reception hall and so to the spacious kitchen/dining room with its ornate ceiling cornice, 13ft ceiling height, featuring an ornate arch and gas fired stove set in the chimney breast.

At the back three tall Georgian windows flood the room with southerly light. From here you reach the terrace, above the gardens, via a glazed door.

The kitchen has shaker-style units and generous dining area.

The high ceilings and tall sash windows are replicated at the front of the house with a study/sitting room that benefits from an en-suite shower room. Also on the ground floor is a wc.

A fine flowing staircase rises from the hall with polished wooden handrail and natural light from sash windows to the front.

At first floor level, an open arch connects two spacious and elegant reception rooms with high corniced ceilings, sash windows and working shutters.

The semi open-plan nature allows for light to flow from front to back, creating a beautiful living and entertaining space.

The south-facing reception room has views across the communal gardens, through the trees and over the city to the hills in the distance.

There is an impressive period fireplace, wooden flooring and a good range of built-in shelving.

From this reception room one can step out onto a full-width sitting out balcony with decorative railings and canopy - a serene spot from which to enjoy the afternoon sun high above it all.

The second-floor features 3 double bedrooms, a shower room and a utility room. Attic Floor This is a generous 2-bedroom ‘flat’ with its own kitchen, sitting room, 2 double bedrooms and bathroom.

The views, both to the front and to the back, are magnificent.

Lower Ground Floor Flat This is reached separately from the front of the house via a stone staircase which leads down to a courtyard, two big storage vaults and the front door to a large 2-bedroom flat.

The vestibule and inner hallway leads to a double and a single bedroom, a bathroom and an open-plan kitchen/living room.

A door opens out to a rear enclosed courtyard which in turn provides level access to the gorgeous communal gardens. At this level there are also vaulted storage cellars, beneath the terrace walk.

This apartment is in need of modernisation. Heating Two gas boilers serve the lower ground floor and the main part of the house.

Outside The ground floor kitchen/dining room opens onto a large flagstone terrace.

This is a fine place for entertaining and enjoying the sun, decorated all its length with potted shrubs and flowering plants.

This terrace walk with stone balustrade looks down on the most impressive communal gardens which combine level lawns, mature trees and established shrubbery to provide a rare paradise for the lucky residents.
