Live at Wapping Wharf and have the city on your doorstep
Bristol’s much-loved harbourside neighbourhood is growing meaning there’s now the chance to snap up your own home in this burgeoning part of the city. But what would life be like living in this unique community? It’s known for its fantastic array of independent shops, restaurants, cafes and more – but, if that isn’t enough, just a short walk in either direction reveals a range of activities to be enjoyed both night and day.
- A stroll west along the harbour, water sports enthusiasts and beginners alike can enjoy paddle boarding, canoeing and kayaking, whilst you can learn about the harbour’s history at the Underfall Yard museum.
- Ten minutes’ walk* in a north-easterly direction takes you to the 18th century elegance of Queens Square, famous for its role in the Bristol Riots of 1831.
- Around the corner from Queens Square is Britain’s oldest theatre, Bristol Old Vic. With a newly refurbished front of house space, the theatre offers an ever-changing programme of the best contemporary theatre. The Bristol Hippodrome is also nearby, regularly staging touring West End shows.
- Music lovers can revel in the eclectic range of sounds on offer every night of the week at city centre venues. The Old Duke in King Street is a jazz venue that has hosted many legendary musicians, whilst the Thekla is an indy-rock hot spot.
- Art aficionados can take in the latest exhibitions at the myriad of galleries all in walking distance. From internationally-renowned art spaces, Arnolfini and Spike Island to quirky galleries that champion up-and-coming artists such as Centrespace, Bristol is a thriving centre of art.
- Wapping Wharf itself is set in the historic harbour next to Bristol’s M Shed museum, but history buffs can also climb aboard Brunel’s famous SS Great Britain moored at the Great Western dockyard.
- If quiet contemplation is needed after so much intellectual stimulation, then the Pure Yoga studio and Loop Massage at CARGO will both help to re-charge the batteries.
With so much to do on the doorstep it is no wonder that Wapping Wharf is so popular with residents and visitors alike. In keeping with the historic dockside location, the next phase of over 250 homes is currently being built. Many of the one, two and three-bedroom apartments have balconies overlooking the new street scenes or internal garden courtyards. Airy vaulted ceilings and terraces feature in many of the top floor apartments.
