Dowry Square, Hotwells BS8

"This has been a great first home for us; from working by the window, looking out over the garden to relaxing in a deep bath on a winter’s night. The square has a warm community feel with neighbors hosting parties and events such as the Clifton and Hotwells open gardens. We have had many walks along the Harbourside, frequently visit the shops and cafes at Clifton Village and are spoilt for choice for local pubs, from the cosy vibes at the Merchants to open mic nights at the Grain Barge."

The home.

Formerly a historical medical institution founded in 1799, this grand building situated on the East side of Dowry Square is a striking example of the eras architecture. The flat is located on the hall floor and features the high ceilings and huge windows you'd expect of what were once the receptions. Some conversions manage to perfectly balance contemporary with character whilst maintaining a homely vibe and this is one of them. The Georgian detailing is beautiful, with imposing fireplaces and original carpentry throughout, whilst the engineered Oak flooring and stylish kitchen and bathroom more than match the buildings grand aesthetic. A stunning flat in an ever popular North Bristol location.
