The General, Bristol Harbourside

"The General is set in a stunning, historic building in an unbeatable location. The apartment itself feels bright, airy, and generously proportioned throughout. With the added benefit of a 24-hour concierge, the development offers a real sense of security and peace of mind, making it a truly comfortable and welcoming place to call home."

The General has quickly become one of the most desirable developments in the whole of Bristol to live in. Originally built in 1892, this grade two listed building has managed to retain much of its characteristic grandeur whilst incorporating top of the range materials to accentuate the true meaning of modern living. The General is a quiet oasis in the bustling heart of Bristol which houses Michelin Star restaurant Paco Tapas as well as being within easy reach of the increasingly popular Wapping Wharf. This area around Gaol Ferry Steps is now home to several stylish homes, trendy bars and boutique shops within both Cargo One and Cargo Two, which came as two phases of retail and restaurant space, largely occupied for local independent businesses. The area was built on Bristol’s harbourside area, across the water from the busier city centre on the area known as Spike Island. 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, including Lloyds Bank and Hargreaves Lansdown who are based on 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 from this area is also straightforward with buses running frequently along the adjacent Cumberland Road to Bristol Airport and the nearby A4 and M32 providing access to the M5 and M4 respectively. One of the key selling points for The General is that it is only a short 15 minute walk to Temple Meads which is ideal for those looking to commute out of the City or escape for a weekend away. For those looking for quiet walks, there are pleasant routes around the Harbourside but the nearby Ashton Court and Victoria Park also provide expansive green space for running, dog walking and off-road cycling.

Beautifully positioned within one of Bristol’s finest developments, this impressive apartment offers beautiful views onto the harbourside and a high-quality finish throughout. The property features two spacious double bedrooms, with the principal bedroom benefiting from a generous walk-in wardrobe or potential study space. The open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area provides a welcoming and versatile space—perfect for entertaining. The kitchen comes complete with sleek built in appliances and cabinetry, while the oak engineered flooring and wool carpets in the bedrooms add a touch of luxury throughout. A well-appointed family bathroom completes the internal layout, finished to a high specification with contemporary fittings. Residents benefit from an on-site concierge and development management team, who help maintain the building to an exceptional standard and offer parcel collection. This apartment is a fantastic opportunity to enjoy Harbourside living at its very best.
