Home of the Day – The ‘Chapel Apartment’, Pegasus

The WhatHouse? team’s current favourite new build property is also developer Pegasus’s Home of the Month – the unique ‘Chapel Apartment’ at The Vincent, a high-end later-living development in Bristol.

This luxurious £1.25million apartment could be the ideal space to call home as you start the next chapter of your life, nestled beside Clifton Downs in Bristol’s desirable Redland district. This home is laid out over two floors, located in the beautifully restored 1886 Queen Victoria House, offering some 1,906 sq ft of living space. It has two generous bedrooms, and an impressive and versatile mezzanine area that can be used as a large master bedroom or a more intimate living area. This apartment has a shower room/bathroom on both floors, and there's a dressing room and en suite to the mezzanine.

The dedicated living area boasts a soaring ceiling and large windows allowing an abundance of natural light to stream into the living space, providing an exceptionally bright and airy ambience. The kitchen has plenty of storage space and large worktops as well as a range of high-quality integrated appliances, meaning there is plenty of space for preparing your favourite dishes.

This is a one-of-a-kind home that is both traditional and modern, with a treasured history. Pegasus has conserved and accentuated period features from the building’s previous days as the Wayneflete Private School for Boys. Queen Victoria House has fascinating history from its heyday as Vincent Lodge in early 1764 to the original build in 1886 by famed Bristol architect, William Larkins Bernard. The building of merit in the Redland district has also served as the Bristol Maternity Hospital and offices more recently before being fully refurbished to create apartments for people over 60.

In addition to this remarkable apartment, residents at The Vincent will be given access to a range of exclusive on-site facilities including a Wellness Spa with a herbal sauna, steam room, beauty treatment rooms and hydrotherapy pool; a lounge to cosy up with a book or even sit and socialise with your friends; and a gym and stretch studio with state-of-the-art equipment, ideal for classes or a personal trainer programme tailored to your needs.

The Vincent also boasts an on-site restaurant with an open-plan kitchen, providing a perfect place to wine and dine whilst catching up with friends and family. The restaurant leads out onto a south-facing terrace where you can dine al fresco whilst looking over the expansive grounds.

A calendar of events is organised by the dedicated on-site team who put all their energy into creating a fantastic community. They are also on hand to handle day-to-day tasks and ensure the smooth running of the building, leaving residents free to live life and enjoy all that Bristol has to offer.

The Vincent is boastfully located within easy reach of the city centre where you can find a great variety of restaurants, boutique shops, cafés and many other attractions which are waiting to be enjoyed, while the expansive Clifton Downs nearby provide plenty of nature and outdoor spaces to explore at your leisure.

Prices for one-bedroom apartments start at £375,000. Find out more about The Vincent from Pegasus.
