FALL IN LOVE IN BEDMINSTER AT FACTORY NO. 1

More than just a place to live, Bedminster is a vibrant neighbourhood with expansive green space, a thriving nightlife and cultural scene and quick transport links that offers an exciting lifestyle for first time buyers. City & Country’s latest collection of homes in the area – Factory No.1 – provides an unmissable opportunity to step onto the property ladder.

Located off East Street, Factory No.1 is a stylish mix of one and two-bedroom converted and new build apartments. Once the site of Imperial Tobacco Company’s headquarters, the development is intertwined into Bedminster’s rich cultural setting, with North Street’s charming shops and restaurants just around the corner. Additionally, Wapping Wharf, Bristol’s much-loved harbourside quarter, home to an eclectic mix of independent shops, restaurants and cafes is only 13 minutes away by foot.

For those keen to enjoy a combination of the fast-paced city with an urban oasis, Factory No.1’s communal gardens provides the perfect place to relax. Residents will also find two fantastic parks; Victoria Park and Windmill Hill City Farm a short distance away.

Travelling around Bristol and beyond is easy; Bedminster station is five minutes away on foot, while Bristol Temple Mead Station is 20 minute walk away and provides quick links into London.

In recent years Bedminster has created a name for itself as a hub of creativity for artists, developing its own distinctive character. Factory No.1 blends characterful Grade II-listed Edwardian Baroque restored building with contemporary new buildings to reflect the area’s rich diversity.

All 284 luxury apartments, many of which feature private balconies or terraces, have high-specification interiors, including a contemporary linear kitchen in a choice of three colours, with an integrated SMEG oven, induction hob, dishwasher and fridge- freezer, and stylish stone worktops. Flooring is a mixture of Amtico, 100% wool carpets and tiling, and fitted wardrobes are provided in the main bedrooms. Technology includes smart thermostats and ultrafast broadband.

The gated development has an on-site concierge, cycle storage for 400 bikes, underground parking for selected apartments and electric vehicle charging points.

One resident who fell in love with Factory No.1 not once, but twice, is Dan Cramphorn. Originally purchasing a two-bedroom apartment in the iconic Consort House building, and then moving to a three-bedroom apartment in Regent House, Dan was keen to move into central Bristol, to experience city life to its fullest. Having spent a long time looking around the city, everywhere from the harbour area to Clifton hill, he was struggling to find a property that he liked and that would cater for
his family’s needs.

“The moment I walked through the gates into Factory No.1, I could see that this development was different. The communal courtyard and garden at its centre immediately transport you away from the hustle and bustle of Bristol into an urban oasis of calm. It feels like your miles away from the hubbub of neighbouring East Street, but it is still so easily accessible.”

For buyers looking to take advantage of Bedminster’s rich culture, community, and attractive price points, City & Country’s Factory No.1 development is the perfect place to fall in love with.
