Lakeshore Drive, Bishopsworth

"The best thing about living here has been the access to the green space around the flat. Sunny afternoons spent with friends enjoying the patio and surrounding green space, being able to move from the kitchen to outside so easily. Or spending the evenings with the doors open, listening to the birds gives a sense of calm that's hard to find in Bristol."

The home

Set in a listed industrial building this duplex apartment really sets itself apart and comes with the added benefit of two allocated parking spaces. Striking and unique in nature, it provides a fantastic setting for potential buyers. Based on the ground floor and on the corner of the building, the flat benefits from wide ranging windows and hugely tall ceilings. Its original concrete features date back to the time the building was used as a Tobacco Factory and adds to the aesthetics of the home. The open plan living, and kitchen space is a stunning centrepiece of the flat letting light shine through and creates the ideal modern and social space to spend the majority of your time. The ground floor is then completed by two fantastically sized double bedrooms, with one boasting its own ensuite. Additionally, there is another bathroom accessed via the entrance hallway. On a mezzanine level there is an additional space which adds to the quirk and charm of the apartment. Set above one bedroom, it provides a snug hideaway ideally for cosy evenings watching movies or to have a little down time. Previous owners have cleverly incorporated a vast storage space that is tucked away and accessed from here too.
