About
This exceptional penthouse apartment offers stunning views from every window, an incredible rooftop terrace, and spacious accommodation arranged over two floors.
Complete with one allocated parking space, this is a truly impressive home that must be viewed.
Overview One of only seven penthouse apartments in Phase 3 of Paintworks, this exceptional home benefits from a large roof terrace and is arguably one of just three apartments with this highly sought-after aspect and breathtaking view — one of its standout selling points.
While the apartment itself is beautifully presented, the panoramic outlook is truly awe-inspiring.
Set across the top two floors, the property features an upside-down layout designed to maximise the living space and views.
Entry is on the fifth floor, opening into a superb open-plan living, kitchen and dining area with parquet flooring, floor-to-ceiling windows, a fully integrated kitchen, and doors leading from the main bedroom directly onto the roof terrace.
A central staircase connects the two levels.
On the lower floor are two generous double bedrooms, including a spacious principal bedroom with a fitted wardrobe, storage cupboard, and an en-suite shower room.
Also on this level is the main bathroom, along with a second entrance/exit onto the fourth-floor landing.
Outside There is a huge 37m² rooftop terrace located on the fifth floor, accessed directly from the main bedroom.
With a west-facing aspect and open on three sides, this terrace is a sun trap, perfectly positioned to enjoy spectacular sunsets over Bristol.
Finished with decking and glass balustrades, the space is low maintenance and, most strikingly, offers one of the finest views in the city, incorporating the iconic Bristol skyline, Arnos Vale Cemetery woodlands, and the River Avon.
Outside the apartment, there is a communal outdoor space, perfect for socialising with neighbours.
This penthouse also benefits from one allocated parking space and access to a bike store located within the secure fob-accessible underground car park, which extends beneath the development.
Location Paintworks is one of Bristol’s creative hubs, just a short walk or cycle from the city centre.
Known for its traffic-free streets that weave throughout the development, it offers a peaceful setting with a vibrant community atmosphere.
Independent businesses are dotted among the residential buildings, alongside the Royal Photographic Society gallery and popular spots to eat and drink such as Miro Lounge and Coffee Club.
The nearby footbridge to Sparke Evans Park (currently closed for repair - opening soon) provides access to Avonmeads Retail Park, home to a Lidl and Marks & Spencer Foodhall, as well as the riverside path forming part of the National Cycle Network.
Within the woodland surroundings of Arnos Vale Cemetery, residents can enjoy scenic walks and the much-loved café, making it a favourite local retreat.
For commuters, Bristol Temple Meads railway station is approximately 0.9 miles away along Bath Road, while popular central destinations such as Wapping Wharf (1.7 miles), St Nicholas Market (1.6 miles), and Finzels Reach (1.5 miles) are all easily accessible.
We think... Wow.. That view, what more do we need to say.
