CITY & COUNTRY LAUNCHES NEW DIRECTOR’S SUITE SHOW HOME AT AWARD-WINNING BEDMINSTER DEVELOPMENT

City & Country will be unveiling its first show home in the Director’s Wing set within the converted Regent House at its award-winning Factory No.1 development on East Street, Bedminster on Saturday 25th March.

Previously the former tobacco headquarters of W.D and H.O Wills, and originally designed by Sir Frank Wills, the Edwardian-Baroque style of the restored buildings is one of the most distinctive in Bristol.

The Director’s Wing is an exclusive collection of 19 homes in Regent House, set around beautiful courtyard gardens – offering a private oasis for residents in the heart of the city. Included within this selection are the Director’s Suite apartments – Factory No.1’s largest and most unique two bedroom homes, each of which offers over 1,600 sq. ft of living space.

This exclusive collection includes the original offices of the Directors who worked in the factory, and the name of the Director’s Wing not only reflects this but indicates the more opulent design of the homes. The apartments reflect the superior specification and attention to detail City & Country is renowned for, setting the trend in urban living with a look and feel that will last for years to come. A selection of the apartments also include beautifully restored French polished wood panelling, intricate ornate ceilings and feature fireplaces from the original building.

Jennifer Rhodes-Finch, Head of Marketing at City & Country, said: “The restoration of this awe-inspiring landmark has been a challenging but exciting undertaking, and we are proud to be launching our new show home in the Director’s Wing. The wonderfully restored wood panelling and grand fireplaces which feature in our new show home are testament to our expert team on site and the care and consideration they have taken in the restoration. Our design team have worked incredibly hard to ensure our premium specification complements the historic building whilst giving a nod to the rich, artistic Bristolian culture.”

The homes benefit from ultrafast broadband and a high specification, with integrated SMEG appliances in the kitchen – including the oven, induction hob, fridge/freezer as well as stone worktops and units with burnished brass handles. The homes also feature luxury Amtico flooring to most living areas and 100% wool carpet fitted in the bedrooms, brushed gold and chrome brassware in the bathrooms as well as porcelain wall and floor tiles. Heating systems and appliances by leading manufacturers have been incorporated to ensure the new homes are energy-efficient, complete with a SALUS Quantum smart thermostat.

Exclusivity is key at this gated development, where residents enjoy access to private landscaped terraces and an on-site concierge service. Residents will also benefit from the latest technology offering maximum control and security features with CCTV covering the gated development and video activated door entry to communal areas.

Only a five-minute walk from Bedminster train station and 15 minutes from Bristol Temple Meads station, the development is perfectly placed and fits well into Bedminster’s rich cultural setting, with North Street’s array of independent bars, shops, and restaurants just a short walk away.
