56, The General, Guinea Street, , BS1 6SD

The Property

Originally established in 1832, Bristol General Hospital began in modest dwellings on Guinea Street, created through the vision of a group of local Quakers who sought to address the lack of healthcare for the growing industrial communities of Redcliffe and Bedminster. In its early days, the hospital served only local residents, reflecting its deep community roots.
Now meticulously restored and reimagined, this historic landmark has been transformed into The General, a prestigious development of just 200 characterful apartments, thoughtfully designed within the original Grade II listed buildings. Residents benefit from a range of exceptional on-site amenities, including a 24-hour concierge service, members’ gym, a private residents’ garden, and restaurant. The development also enjoys a level walk to Bristol Temple Meads, offering excellent connectivity.
This stunning split-level mezzanine apartment, located on the second floor, showcases a sophisticated blend of modern luxury and period charm.
The lower level features a beautifully appointed open-plan kitchen and living area, the bespoke kitchen is fitted with a stylish range of wall and base units, complemented by integrated appliances including an induction hob, oven, extractor fan, fridge/freezer, and dishwasher.
Also on this level is a generous bedroom and sleek, fully tiled shower room, complete with a large mains-fed walk-in shower, inset mirror, basin, low-level WC, and a heated towel rail.
Upstairs, the mezzanine level offers an impressive principal bedroom which overlooks the living area below and benefits from a luxurious en suite bathroom featuring a mains-fed shower over bath, basin, WC, and heated towel rail.
Further highlights include a secure allocated parking space and access to the beautifully maintained residents’ garden, providing a peaceful retreat in the heart of the city.
