Bristol Living

Bristol, the city in the South West that has it all – great history and great modern culture, it’s well connected, diverse and interesting. In recent years, more and more people have chosen to relocate from larger cities to the South West, particularly Bristol, and given that Bristol is known for its independent spirit, employment opportunities, and vibrant world class street art; with the likes of Banksy cropping up in weird and wonderful places all over the city, it’s not hard to see why it has become such a popular choice.

When it comes to trendy communities and dynamic neighbourhoods, the area of St. Werburghs is the place to be. Home to our previous scheme Brooks Dye Works, here you will find urban green space offering a peaceful escape and community led initiatives promoting sustainability. One of the most iconic features is no doubt the street art, decorating the area with its unique character gaining international recognition.

On the west side of Bristol lies Clifton, one of the most beautiful areas of the city with streets lined with majestic Georgian architecture and featuring one of the most recognisable landmarks in Bristol; The Clifton Suspension Bridge. Sauntering through Clifton you will find picturesque streets, galleries and an abundance of cafes and independent boutiques.

Positioned in the heart of Bristol, is an enchanting location; the harbourside – an attractive, modern dockside district filled with restaurants, bars and hotels, and home to Brandon Yard – a completed Acorn development, offering an exclusive collection of fifty-eight 1,2- & 3-bedroom homes.

A short walk from Brandon Yard you will find Wapping Wharf on Spike Island – a flourishing neighbourhood in the heart of the harbourside where people can live, shop, eat and relax by the city’s glistening waterfront. Featuring numerous fantastic food spots, weather whether you fancy Spanish Tapas in a converted cargo container from Gambas or tacos inspired by Mexico City from Cargo Cantina, there are options to satisfy all tastebuds. Also on Spike Island is the location of our new homes located in this area - Cumberland Road, which will feature a bespoke collection of twenty-two 1 & 2 bedroom apartments and duplexes, perfect for the urban lifestyle.

Also in the heart of Bristol you will find Alliance House – an Acorn development completed in 2022 – a mixed-use development comprising forty-four studio and 1 bedroom apartments with commercial units on the ground and basement floors – the perfect starter homes for Bristol’s many young professionals.

Bristol is known to have one of the most exciting food scenes in the UK right now – there is abundance of charming little restaurants with big reputations, including Little French in Westbury Park, serving classic French dishes with a modern twist, or a new addition to the Michelin guide is Cor - a vibrant and stylish restaurant located in the heart of Bedminster. With an eclectic ‘casual fine dining’ menu and scandi-style décor, Cor has quickly become a go-to destination for foodies and locals alike.

Bristol offers everything you’d expect from a big city yet is only a stone’s throw from the South West’s beautiful coastline and green countryside. If you like cities that are forward-thinking with a relaxed, liberal feel to them then Bristol is definitely for you.
