City & Country’s Historic Conversion & New Build Apartments in Bedminster stand out from the crowd

Located in the vibrant Bedminster district of Bristol, City & Country’s award-winning Factory No.1 development has proved popular since it launched in September 2019 and there is now a brand-new show home for prospective buyers to view.

Once the site of Imperial Tobacco Company’s headquarters, a new chapter has started on East Street with homes being meticulously crafted from the former factory’s historic buildings, alongside five new apartment buildings.

Originally designed by Sir Frank Wills, the Edwardian-Baroque style of the restored buildings is one of the most distinctive in Bristol. There are currently a range of one and two bedroom apartments available at Factory No.1, set around beautiful courtyard gardens –offering a private oasis for residents in the heart of the city.

The Directors’ Wing, set within Regent House, has recently launched a stunning 1600 square foot show home (plot R207) which boasts an abundance of restored heritage features including ornate Jacobean-style ceiling, French polished oak panelling and feature fireplaces with original carved timber mantelpieces.

Offering a fabulous introduction to the painstaking restoration of period detail that is the hallmark of City & Country developments, the show home is emblematic of the superior finish throughout Factory No.1, offering a careful synthesis of industrial homage, traditional architecture and the very best in contemporary living.

Simon Vernon-Harcourt, Design and Planning Director for City & Country, comments: “The Directors’ Wing was once the director’s opulent boardrooms and grand offices so we’ve striven to retain the distinct personality of the boardroom while creating a fabulous space in which to live, and the grand opulence of the show home is why it is one of my favourite homes at Factory No.1.”

For those who prefer a contemporary new build home, apartments in the Cutting Room have been released ahead of schedule due to incredible demand, comprising 42 stylish homes across nine storeys with a show home opening in the coming month.

Exclusivity is key at this gated development, where residents enjoy access to private landscaped terraces and an on-site concierge service. The homes benefit from ultrafast broadband and a high specification, including smart thermostats as well as integrated SMEG appliances in the kitchen.

Jennifer Rhodes-Finch, Head of Marketing for City & Country, said: “The restoration of this awe-inspiring landmark is having such a positive impact on the street scene. Around 100 of the 284 homes at Factory No.1 are newly completed and occupied. Almost all of our purchasers are owner-occupiers, so there is a brilliant community emerging within the development.”

“Factory No.1 is a truly unique offering, presenting a seamless blend of lovingly restored conversion apartments that pay homage to the former Imperial Tobacco Building, alongside our contemporary new build homes that complement the landmark development. Our diverse product range means there is something to appeal to all buyers who are looking to live within such an historic location.”

A total of 284 converted and newly built apartments are available at this landmark building which feature the sensitively restored, elegant facades of Consort and Regent House. Just a five-minute walk from Bedminster train station, the development fits well into Bedminster’s rich cultural setting, and North Street’s array of independent bars, shops and restaurants.

Factory No.1 won WhatHouse? 2022 Gold Award – Best Starter Home Scheme and UK Property Awards 2020 – Best Residential Renovation / Redevelopment Bristol Winner.
