Flat for sale in Colston Avenue, Bristol BS1

A beautifully presented, contemporary one-bedroom luxury apartment, situated in this landmark art deco Electricity House in the very centre of the city. Offered to the market with no onward chain.

Property Details

Electricity House, an exquisite Art Deco building in the heart of Bristol's city centre, was designed by the acclaimed architect Sir Giles Gilbert Scott—famed for his iconic red telephone boxes and Battersea Power Station. Constructed from Portland Stone, this architectural gem stands as a testament to Scott's distinguished legacy.

In 2014, Crest Nicholson acquired the property and transformed it into 85 luxury apartments, a conversion that earned the “Best Refurbishment of the Year” award at the 2016 Housebuilding Awards.

The entrance to Electricity House makes a striking first impression. Approached via a pedestrianised path opposite Bristol's Cenotaph, the building’s beautifully restored architecture immediately captivates. Automated double doors lead into the elegantly refurbished communal entrance hall, which showcases its Art Deco grandeur. Inside, residents are greeted by a central desk staffed by a 7-day-a-week concierge and private post boxes for each apartment.

Entering the apartment, the quality of the conversion remains evident throughout - with good quality fixtures and fittings complemented by neutral décor, large windows and high ceilings featuring in the living space. The hallway provides access to the bedroom, featuring built-in wardrobes; three-piece shower room fitted with WC, hand wash basin, walk-in shower enclosure, and heated towel rail. Further to the living space - an expansive open plan room with modern kitchen featuring integrated appliances and benefitting from an aspect providing plentiful natural light through much of the afternoon.

An exquisite offering, offered to the market with no onward chain.
