5102 Building St James Barton

Home, five minutes from the BRI — a big, bright 2-bed apartment, with a bathroom for each sharer, built around a keyworker's life. Apartment 505 sits inside an iconic Bristol landmark at St James Barton Roundabout, and for anyone working at the Bristol Royal Infirmary it might be the best-addressed bed in the city: the BRI is just a very short walk away. No buses, no parking fees, no 5am alarm to beat the traffic. When your shift ends, you are home in minutes. This is a genuinely large apartment — approximately 95 sqm of well-planned space — and it is laid out perfectly for two people sharing. The open-plan living room and kitchen run the length of the home, giving you a proper lounge for unwinding after a long day and a fully equipped kitchen with everything you need to cook properly, including a washing machine, so that laundry never means a laundrette. Both bedrooms are generous doubles of equal standing, and this is the apartment's real advantage: with two bathrooms, every person has their own — one bedroom has its bathroom right inside the door (en-suite), and the other has its own bathroom immediately outside, so there is never a queue for the shower before a shift. Each room also has its own wall-mounted TV and reading lights, and the second bedroom includes a desk — ideal for rotas, paperwork or quiet study time. A walk-in closet off the hallway and fresh white metro tiles throughout keep everything practical as well as beautiful. What you get: Two equally spacious double bedrooms. Two shower rooms — one en-suite, one directly off the hallway — so each room has its own bathroom. Open-plan living and dining for roughly 27 sqm. Full kitchen with oven, hob, microwave, fridge-freezer and washing machine. High-speed Wi-Fi and TVs in both bedrooms. All linen and towels provided. Flexible booking through our direct website — no middleman premiums. One more thing that makes sharing simple: water and broadband are included, and energy is included subject to a fair use policy — so there are no supplier accounts to set up, no winter bill arguments, and nothing to split or settle between sharers. As long as you use energy the way you'd normally live (and no more), it is taken care of — the fair use policy is simply there to keep things sustainable if usage runs well beyond everyday levels, not to catch anyone out. Here, your costs are fixed, predictable and settled in one payment — the only thing not included is council tax, which you would arrange directly with Bristol City Council (single-occupier discounts may apply, so it is worth checking). For everything else, you simply move in and focus on the job. You'll also be staying in one of Bristol's most recognisable buildings, moments from St James Barton Roundabout's independent cafes, bars and restaurants, with the City Centre, Broadmead, and Cabot Circus on your doorstep and Temple Meads only minutes away for visits home.
