Baldwin Lofts

This redeveloped Bristolian Warehouse is hit or miss depending on what you’re looking for in terms of housing. It’s ideal for those who wish to share accommodation, not fight over the biggest room, and study in relative isolation — students really. There are appartments of varying sizes; from two to five bedrooms and apartments consist of rows of single study rooms with a common kitchen/​dining area. The flats aren’t for you if you’re looking for something more homely, with a sitting room and garden, and must be pretty noisey on a Friday/​Saturday night. Move here if you want to be right in the thick of Bristol for a relatively low price and a bog standard living space.

This new development on Baldwin Street contains about 30, brand spanking new flats. It really is city centre living — it’s impossible to get more central — which is reflected in the marketing: ‘Slap Bang’ in the centre of town, so it is. Baldwin Lofts is good value for money, both renting and buying, as you can pick up a place to buy from £150K, which for a city centre flat is not too bad — and rental will set you back in the region of £300 per room. It really is perfect for students, as there aren’t many student halls around this area, as well as a good buy for first time buyers.
There’s tight security, good maintenance, low cost bills, so if you like living in the heart of things Baldwin Lofts is where you want to be.
