Summary - 5202 Watkins House, Factory Number One, East Street, Bedminster, BS3 BS3 4HH
2 bed 2 bath Apartment
Second-floor two-bed with modern kitchen and en-suite, minutes from North Street.
Private balcony overlooking communal rooftop garden terraces
This second-floor two-bedroom sits within Factory No.1, a gated new-build development offering light-filled rooms and a private balcony overlooking landscaped communal terraces. The principal bedroom includes a fitted wardrobe and a hotel-style en-suite; the open-plan living space features a contemporary kitchen with stone worktops and integrated appliances. At 712 sq ft, the layout suits first-time buyers seeking modern, low-maintenance city living with on-site bike storage and concierge services.
Practical advantages include a long lease (about 169 years remaining), pet-friendly policy, and direct access to local amenities on North Street plus good transport links to Bristol Temple Meads (London Paddington approx. 1h 34m). Incentives may be available subject to terms and conditions—ask for details if you’re considering purchase costs and affordability.
Material drawbacks are clear and should be considered: the property is in a postcode area with very high crime levels and very high flood risk. The surrounding neighbourhood scores high for deprivation; buyers should factor insurance and personal security measures into ongoing costs. This is a leasehold flat, so service charges and building management arrangements will apply.
Overall, this apartment presents a modern, well-specified home for a buyer prioritising proximity to city life and transport, strong communal landscaping, and a turnkey interior. Those sensitive to local safety, flood exposure or seeking a freehold will need to weigh these significant issues before proceeding.
