Raleigh Road, Southville

"Everything you need is on the doorstep. I like the Tobacco Factory market on a Sunday which is right outside. I like the view of the suspension bridge. All of the restaurants on North Street take two minutes to walk to and having Aldi right opposite saves a lot of money and time. It is also very easy to walk into Ashton Court and Whapping Wharf."

A landmark building dating back to the early 1900s, The Cigar Factory is an example of Bristol’s tobacco industry heritage, now transformed into 19 apartments in 2016. The property is tucked just off the vibrant North Street on Raleigh Road, right in the heart of Southville. Close by there are two footbridges across the river to reach the Harbourside area of the city and further onto Wapping Wharf, an area which has fast become one of Bristol’s most iconic and desirable settings for living, eating and socialising. The 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. Southville itself has long been one of the most popular parts of Bristol to live in. North Street is home to a number of popular bars and eateries such as The Tobacco factory, The Spotted Cow, the popular Souk Kitchen, Cor as well as highly regarded cafes such as Tincan and Marks Bread. Crossing the river from Southville, you are just minutes from all Bristol City Centre has to offer. For those who work in the city, the commute by foot or bike is short and painless, whilst the journey home after an evening in a city is also straightforward and advantageous on foot rather than negotiating city centre traffic.

Apartment 2 is a stylish duplex set across the first and second floors of the Cigar Factory. The lower level features a welcoming entrance hall and a bright, open-plan kitchen, living, and dining space. Upstairs, a spacious bedroom and contemporary shower room are accessed from a central landing. The apartment is modern, well-presented, and filled with natural light throughout.
