HIGH DEMAND FROM FIRST-TIME BUYERS AT CITY & COUNTRY’S FACTORY NO. 1

Located in vibrant Bedminster in Bristol, City & Country’s Factory No.1 is proving to
be a popular choice with first-time buyers, where the developer reports that around
two thirds of their buyers are those taking their first step onto the housing ladder.
This comes as no surprise given the development’s Gold Award win for the ‘Best
Starter Home Scheme’ category at the coveted WhatHouse? Awards – dubbed the
Oscars of the housebuilding industry.

Once the site of Imperial Tobacco Company’s headquarters, the stylish apartments
have been meticulously crafted from the former factory’s historic buildings – and
thanks to their affordable price tags and buyer assistance, first-time buyers are
reaping the rewards.

A total of 284 one and two bedroom converted and newly built apartments will be
constructed at this landmark development which features the sensitively restored,
elegant facades of Consort and Regent House. Located off East Street, a short walk
from Bristol Temple Meads train station and the city centre, this development is
perfectly placed, and provides a great opportunity for first-time buyers to invest in
one of Bristol’s most up-and-coming areas.

City & Country suggests that the development is popular with first timers due to a range of appealing factors; including the unique combination of location, luxury finishes and outdoor space at a range of price points.

Jennifer Rhodes-Finch, Head of Marketing says: “Typically a first-time buyer needs
to make a compromise on something when they buy their first home. However, with
a great central location, high quality build as well as a premium specification, at
Factory No .1 we feel that first-time buyers can tick many of their homebuying boxes; there is a brilliant community emerging here.”

Alex, a first-time buyer at Factory No.1, commented: “Anything this quality that I had looked at before was much further out of Bristol. The finish of the homes City & Country has created here is exceptional – my one-bedroom flat is a huge space and the ceilings and large windows make it feel so spacious.”

The individually designed homes benefit from ultrafast broadband and a high
specification, including smart thermostats as well as integrated SMEG appliances in the kitchen. Many apartments include balconies or terraces, and residents can relax amid the lawns, terraces and trees of a peaceful landscaped courtyard.

The securely gated development also boasts a concierge service, secure undercroft
parking with electric charging points, and 400 cycle spaces.

Prices start from £270,000* for a one-bedroom apartment, with selected plots
benefitting from allocated parking. A 5% deposit contribution worth up to £22,750** is available on selected homes. The new Deposit Unlock initiative is also available on selected apartments, allowing buyers to purchase a new home with just a 5% deposit.

The Factory No.1 Sales Suite is open daily from 10am – 5pm, located at East Street,
Bedminster, Bristol, BS3 4HH. For more information, call 01174 535 135 or visit
