“It goes without saying: harbourside living is great. You’re a short stroll from the best coffee and croissants (Mokoko & Little Victories) – and the harbour loop is ideal for an early-morning jog or getting your steps in after work. The flat itself super calm, peaceful and practical with a generous main living space that’s made it really nice to both work from home and have people round. I’ve also enjoyed upgrading the apartment since moving in to make it feel that bit more considered.”
This home
This stylish second-floor apartment, built less than two years ago, has been beautifully upgraded with a number of luxury touches throughout. Prime oak flooring runs through the home, complemented by a bespoke fitted wardrobe, solid wall panelling and newly installed radiators, giving the space a high-quality, finished feel. The open-plan living area is airy and inviting, with a sleek, modern kitchen and plenty of room to relax or entertain. Large French doors open out onto a private balcony, perfect for seating and enjoying some fresh air. Off the hallway, there are two ample double bedrooms, practical utility cupboard with room for a separate washer and dryer, and a contemporary bathroom finished in a clean, modern style.
Overall, it’s a well-designed, low-maintenance home that feels unique to similar flats in this development due to the extensive upgrades.
Living in the Harbourside
The property is located in a quiet community focused development with excellent access to all that Bristol offers, while being surround by some of Bristol’s most historic sites. Arguably the most famous attraction in the city, the S.S Great Britain, is harboured next to the Bristol Marina, which is in addition to a variety of art exhibitions and museums nearby, including the iconic M Shed. Just a short walk away is Wapping Wharf, one of Bristol’s most popular spots for eating and drinking with favourites such as Seven Lucky Gods, Root and RAGU. The area was built on Bristol’s harbourside area, across the water from the busier city centre. Across the river to the south of the City Centre is the Southville and Bedminster area, which offers a range of popular eateries, bars and shops.
For commuters, the area is ideal with several major employers just on the doorstep at the Harbourside along with several major law firms around Redcliffe and Temple Quay and other industries around the centre of Bristol and up into Clifton.
Access out of the city is also straightforward, with buses running frequently along Cumberland Road to Bristol Airport and the nearby A4 and M32 providing access to the M5 and M4 respectively.
For those looking for quiet walks, there are easy routes around the Harbourside, but the nearby Ashton Court and Greville Smyth Park also provide expansive green space for running or dog walking.
