Contemporary apartment living in Bristol

A new-look show apartment in north Bristol (opening June 12th) perfectly captures the contemporary architecture and high specification interiors featured in the latest phase of properties at Tallsticks, near Filton.
Part of the hugely popular Cheswick urban village, Redrow’s new phase features 136 properties, including one and two-bedroom apartments and two, three and four-bedroom homes.
They are close to an area of the village that has been earmarked for shops and other amenities and also within easy reach of Bristol city centre.
The existing two-bedroom show apartment has been completely overhauled, with new specification details and a design scheme to complement.
The open plan living space blends effortlessly with the contemporary fitted kitchen and features a large breakfast / dining area that comfortably sits four for dinner. The base of the colour palette is ivory and black, with a strong ‘Cadburys’ purple accent colour in scatter cushions and artwork to give it a fresh feel.
New tiles, exclusive to Redrow, have been chosen for the bathroom and en-suite, while bedroom one is a glamorous, smart room with a black glass console. It’s a look that should appeal equally to downsizers, first time buyers and professionals.
Hayley Zaple, area sales manager for Redrow Homes (South West), said: “The beauty of a development like Cheswick is that we can offer a variety of homes to suit all types of buyer, whatever their tastes or budget. Our recently launched New Heritage Collection is providing traditional looking family homes at The Bowery and Aurora Spring, whilst Tallsticks caters for those wanting something more modern in its approach but still built to the same high quality standards.
“The latest homes at Tallsticks are ideal for first time buyers, young families and investors, with prices from as little as £141,995 for a two-bedroom ‘Pensford’ apartment. There are also family homes, including the four-bedroom ‘Routledge’ from £294,995 and the four-bedroom ‘Caxton’ townhouse from £304,995.”
The homes are being built to Level 3 of the Code for Sustainable Homes, which means they include special features designed to keep water and energy usage to a minimum; this will hopefully translate into lower bills for home owners.
Tallsticks and its more traditional neighbours, The Bowery and Aurora Spring, are three of the individual ‘hamlets’ that make up the new urban village of Cheswick, north of Bristol. Just a few miles from the city centre, close to Parkway train station and within easy reach of the M4 and M5 motorways, it’s a great location for commuters.
Buy-to-let investors also benefit from a large number of major employers on the doorstep – including the MoD, Airbus and Rolls Royce – plus the University of West of England’s Frenchay campus.
