Electricity House is a stunning Art Deco building in the heart
of Bristol city centre, constructed of Portland Stone and designed
by renowned architect Sir Giles Gilbert Scott best known for his
iconic red telephone boxes and Battersea Power Station, to name but
a few.
In 2014 the property was acquired by Crest Nicholson and
converted into 85 luxury apartments, winning the Best Refurbishment
of the Year award at the 2016 Housebuilding Awards.
The location is perfect for access to the BRI 0.2 miles ,
Bristol Temple Meads 1 mile and the M32 1.1 miles with Clifton
village a little over a mile away and access to Bristol‘s famous
floating harbour just a short walk across the city centre.
Extensive shopping is available at Cabot Circus just over half a
mile away; with Harvey Nichols, Marks and Spencer‘s and Vue Cinema
along with numerous independent bars, restaurants and shops all
located nearby.
The first impressions of Electricity House are dramatic; the
beautiful architecture is sensitively restored and approached via
the pedestrianised entrance opposite Bristol‘s Cenotaph.
Double doors open automatically, and the beautiful communal
entrance hall has been refurbished to reveal its Art Deco splendour
with a central desk for the 7 day a week concierge and private post
boxes for each apartment.
The option of two lifts or the stairs takes you up to the fifth
floor, with 578 accessed from the communal hall looking down into
the dramatic full height central atrium below.
The property enjoys air conditioning across each floor for the
very hot days to add to the apartment‘s long list of creature
comforts.
On the fifth floor lie three double bedrooms, including a
principal bedroom with ensuite shower room and fitted
wardrobes.
The shared bathroom is fully tiled with a three piece suite
comprising a panelled bath with a thermostatic shower above, w.c
and wash basin as well as heated towel rail and vanity mirror.
Accessed from the communal hallway is a useful private and
secure storage pod. Perfect for suitcase holiday equipment, sports
kit long term filing etc.
Situated on the lower ground floor are two privately allocated
off street parking spaces with lift access to the floors above.
A striking oak and glass staircase leads to the sixth floor and
opens up into a spectacular light filled sitting room, with a full
width wall of windows overlooking the cityscape. This room too
benefits from its own independent air conditioning along with an
oversized sliding glazed door opening that really brings the
outside in, and protects from the inside with a glazed safety
screen.
Like the rest of the apartment, the room benefits from
underfloor heating and a tiled floor, with access to a fully fitted
utility cupboard also housing the heating and hot water
controls.
A peninsular island separates the sitting room from the kitchen
whilst also providing a breakfast bar and casual dining space. The
kitchen itself is fully fitted with an expanse of stone
worksurfaces and fitted floor and wall mounted storage.
Integrated appliances include a fridge and freezer, Bosch
dishwasher, Bosch ceramic hob and wall mounted AEG separate oven
and grill.
