Hensmans Hill, Clifton, Bristol, BS8

Occupying part of a Grade II listed former ceramics factory, this creatively designed Clifton flat combines historic industrial character with contemporary comfort. The flat was converted in the early 2000 s, creating a beautifully light-filled space, with the added bonus of gated off street parking.

The entranceway is shared with just one other flat, giving it a quiet feel. Inside, the hallway sets the tone, with cast iron radiators, decorative wallpaper, and glass bricks introducing natural light into the space. Wooden floors run through the hallway and into the main living space. The flat isn t short of storage options, with a built-in cupboard in the hallway and clever storage solutions throughout the property.

The first bedroom is a soft carpeted room with tall arched windows that echo the buildings industrial past. Currently arranged as a children s bedroom, the room offers space for versatility, comfortably accommodating a double bed.

A useful utility room, complete with a Belfast sink and pink built in cabinets, provides space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, as well as storage space. Even more storage can be found in the loft space, accessed via a ceiling hatch in the utility room.

The family bathroom features cork flooring underfoot, with metro tiles running from floor to ceiling. A panel of copper clads the side of the bath, introducing texture and character.

At the heart of the home is an open plan kitchen and living area, flooded with natural light from vast factory style windows. Many of the upper panels are rope-operated for ventilation, an original detail that has been beautifully retained, while integrated air conditioning ensures a comfortable atmosphere throughout the year.
