Truly Scrumpy

Truly Scrumpy: Bristol

When the sun shines brightly over the city of Bristol, there's no better place to be than Harbourside – which is handy, as it's the location of this apartment, perched alongside the river. Grab a coffee from one of the buzzy cafes in this creative district and watch the world go by from the water's edge, if just for a while. When it's time to uncover more of this happening quarter, you'll find buzzy restaurants, craft beer barges for an obligatory pint of Scrumpy cider, independent boutiques, museums aplenty, and a rich maritime history to boot within its charming, cobbled streets. And no visit to Bristol would be complete without some Banksy-spotting along the river. Keep an eye out for his parody of Vermeer's famous Girl with a Pearl Earring - it's quite a showstopper. Back at home, housed in a Grade II-listed Edwardian building, this apartment has some serious kerb appeal. Inside, the dual aspect windows provide a generous helping of natural daylight and though this is studio living, we think it's expertly formed. There's all the modern comforts you could wish for, while contemporary, mid-century inspired furniture and a soft colour palette bring character and warmth - just like a city bolthole should be.
