Captains Garden, Fishponds

"We always wanted to live somewhere full of character, so when we first saw all the original features at Captain's House, we were instantly blown away. We knew straight away that it was somewhere we'd love to call home. There has been so much to love about living here. In just a five-minute walk, you can be on Fishponds High Street or walking through the woods at Snuff Mills. We love being able to step outside our front door and be enjoying brunch, meeting friends for coffee."

The Home

Occupying a peaceful position within the sought-after Captains House development, this beautifully refurbished two-bedroom apartment offers over 1,075 sq. ft. of thoughtfully designed living space, combining contemporary finishes with generous proportions and an abundance of natural light.

The apartment immediately impresses with its wide entrance hall, setting the tone for the sense of space found throughout. A rare triple-aspect orientation allows light to pour in from three elevations, while high ceilings enhance the bright, airy feel.

At the heart of the apartment is an exceptional open-plan kitchen, dining and living space. Large windows frame open views across the surrounding greenery, while the dual-aspect reception enjoys sunshine throughout the day, creating a wonderfully sociable space for both everyday living and entertaining. The contemporary kitchen is fitted with integrated appliances, extensive cabinetry and ample worktop space, offering a practical yet elegant finish.

The two bedrooms are thoughtfully positioned away from the main living space. The principal bedroom is particularly generous in size and benefits from its own beautifully appointed en-suite bathroom, while the second double bedroom enjoys fitted storage and sits adjacent to the equally well-finished family bathroom. This versatile layout is equally suited to guests, those working from home or anyone seeking comfortable day-to-day living.

Finished to an exceptional standard throughout, the apartment has been meticulously maintained by the current owners and offers a wonderful balance of style and practicality. With allocated parking, two bathrooms and an enviable position in one of South Gloucestershire's most desirable developments, this is a home that stands apart for both its quality and sense of space.
