Flour House, City Centre

"Living at The General has been really special. It’s close to the harbourside but away from the noise, with the Ostrich next door and Wapping Wharf’s great mix of restaurants just a short walk away."

The home

This beautifully presented two-bedroom apartment is set on the lower ground floor and measures approximately 950 sq. ft., offering a generous sense of space throughout. Finished to a high standard, the home opens into a welcoming hallway laid with engineered oak floorboards that continue through to the heart of the home—a wonderfully spacious open-plan kitchen, living, and dining area. French doors lead directly to a private terrace, creating an ideal setting for relaxing or entertaining. The entrance hall is welcoming and has two large storage cupboards, one of which houses the washer dryer and ventilation system. Upon entrance to the right, the principal bedroom has woolen carpets for comfort and benefits from its own en suite shower room and two built-in storage cupboards. Further along the hall, also to the right, lies the family bathroom, fully tiled in a modern style, together with the second double bedroom, which is also carpeted. The kitchen is fitted with a combination of sleek white gloss wall and base units, complemented by granite worktops. The apartment features integrated appliances, extensive lighting, and wooden flooring that bring a sense of style throughout. The property further benefits from its own underground parking space—a rare and valuable feature in the heart of Bristol, an alarm system and on-site concierge.

The outisde

The large South West facing L shaped private terrace, laid with stone, offers space for multiple seating areas and creates a seamless connection between indoors and out.

The location

Flour house is on the site of the old General Hospital, a contemporary residential development, completed just five years ago. The luxury apartments were built by City and Country, a well respected developer building high quality homes whilst restoring architectural heritage. The area has quickly become one of the most desirable developments in the whole of Bristol to live in. Flour House is a quiet oasis in the bustling heart of Bristol and is 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 development 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.
