Chessel Street, Bedminster

"We love the light, character, and breathtaking views offered from the flat. From hot air balloons over the city to sunset dinners with the suspension bridge lights beyond."

The home

This beautifully presented two-bedroom penthouse in the Chessel Heights development is filled with natural light throughout. A well-appointed fitted kitchen opens through to the living/dining area, which in turn leads onto a private balcony with sweeping views across Bristol. Both bedrooms benefit from impressive outlooks, with one offering direct access to a second balcony. The bathroom is finished with a contemporary white suite, complete with a shower over the bath and sleek tiled splashbacks. Set on the top floor, this apartment nicely combines both character and comfort with truly breathtaking panoramic views.

The outside

A real standout feature of the apartment is the two private balconies. One extends from the main living space and the other from a bedroom, each are perfectly positioned to take in the city’s skyline and far-reaching views.
