Property description
New Retort House is ideally located between Lime Kiln Road and the floating harbour, just a short stroll or water taxi ride from Wapping Wharf’s award winning Cargo development, M Shed, and the historic Underfall Boatyard. Clifton Village, Park Street, and Bristol’s leading cultural venues, including St. George’s, the Old Vic, and Colston Hall, are all close at hand. Cabot Circus and the M32 are within two miles, with Bristol Temple Meads Station just over a mile on foot, and Bristol Airport only 7.4 miles away.
Set atop this sought after modern development, the penthouse offers a rare combination of uninterrupted west facing harbour views, refined contemporary design, and the ultimate in lateral city living. The apartment spans circa 1,000 sq. ft. and includes a full width private terrace that captures panoramic views across the water and the iconic SS Great Britain.
Purchased new by the current owner and further upgraded post-completion, this three bedroom home delivers an elegant and high-spec finish throughout. A secure communal entrance with lift leads to the top floor, where the apartment opens into a wide entrance hall with engineered oak flooring, a utility cupboard, and a video entry system.
At the heart of the home is a spectacular open plan reception space, flooded with natural light from floor to ceiling windows and thoughtfully zoned for living, dining, and cooking. The Leicht kitchen features white gloss cabinetry, Corian worktops, a marble splashback, and a breakfast bar. Integrated appliances include a Bosch induction hob, Dietrich oven and grill, microwave, extractor fan, fridge freezer, and dishwasher.
The living and dining areas are spacious and beautifully presented, with wood flooring and large sliding doors opening directly onto the terrace. The outdoor space is notably private, with a glass balustrade and far reaching views of the harbour.
The principal bedroom, set at the far end of the hallway, is finished in calming neutral tones with plush carpet and bespoke fitted wardrobes. Pocket doors lead to a luxurious en suite with double vanity, backlit mirrors, a freestanding bath, walk in shower, and W.C. Two further double bedrooms also enjoy terrace access and are served by a sleek contemporary shower room with rainfall fitment, bowl sink vanity, and W.C.
Additional highlights include underfloor heating throughout, pocket doors to maximise space, and high quality finishes in every room.
Externally, the development offers tranquil landscaped gardens overlooking the water, secure gated access, a dedicated undercroft parking space with EV charging, and a secure bike store.
The property is offered with a share of the freehold and approximately 992 years remaining on the lease. It also benefits from the ability to short let, subject to the necessary consents. The development is fully compliant with current fire safety regulations and holds a valid EWS1 form.
