Set within a converted Grade II listed former hospital, this split-level 2-bedroom apartment blends high ceilings and original character with contemporary fittings. The open-plan lower level has a bespoke kitchen and large windows that flood the living space with light. A mezzanine principal bedroom overlooks the living area and includes an en suite; a second double bedroom and shower room sit on the lower floor. The sale includes an allocated off-street parking space and access to a private residents’ garden.
The building provides on-site amenities—24-hour concierge, members’ gym and communal garden—making it convenient for city living and attractive for professionals who value services and security. The apartment occupies an 800 sq ft footprint, benefits from a long lease (165 years remaining) and fast broadband, and is a short walk to Temple Meads and the harbourside cultural attractions.
Buyers should note material considerations: the property is Grade II listed, which can restrict alterations and complicate consent for changes; the development’s service charge is high (£3,418.50 pcm stated as £4,098 pa) and there is an annual ground rent (£250). The area records very high crime levels, which may concern some purchasers. Overall this is a characterful central apartment with strong convenience and amenity value but with ongoing costs and listed-status constraints to factor into any decision.
