A former care home is described as having the potential to be the "finest family home in Bristol", with eight bedrooms and five reception rooms, ample parking and one of the largest gardens in Clifton Village.

The property, in Bristol, is set well back from the road in its own grounds ( circa 0.60 Acres ) with a semi-circular drive providing access to the huge front door and exceptionally elegant entrance Hall.

The exterior elevations and the roof have been extensively renovated leaving the purchaser to renovate the 9,800 sq foot interior to their own style and taste.

Originally constructed in 1820 the property has a wealth of period features including some fine fireplaces and elegant and spacious rooms exuding the ambiance of a wealthy “Gentleman’s Residence” typical of this period of building. There are excellent size gardens to the front and rear of the property with the opportunity for further landscaping.

There is also potential for conversion of the mansion house into six luxury, lateral apartments, subject to the necessary planning and listed building consents.

A spokesman from Hollis Morgan told the Bristol Post although the interior of the care home "requires work", there was huge potential for the property.

The Clifton mansion is close to many attractions in the city, including the suspension bridge, the Downs and the city centre. There are also great views of the Avon Gorge.

Schools within walking distance include Clifton High School and Clifton College.
