This well-presented one-bedroom apartment sits on the hall floor of a period townhouse in central Cotham, offering bright living space, high ceilings and original sash windows. The lounge/diner receives plenty of natural light; the double bedroom includes built-in storage and the kitchen and three-piece bathroom are functional and tidy. A small front garden is for the apartment’s residents only — a useful private outdoor space in a city location.
Practical ownership is straightforward: a long lease (950 years remaining), nominal ground rent (£1) and a below-average service charge (£675). Council tax is described as affordable and broadband and mobile signals are strong — sensible pluses for first-time buyers or professionals moving into the area.
Buyers should note the neighbourhood records higher-than-average crime levels and the building’s traditional sandstone/limestone walls are assumed to lack insulation, which could mean higher heating costs or future works to improve energy efficiency. The property is leasehold and, while well presented, offers scope to modernise kitchens or bathroom fittings to personal taste and to maximise value.
Overall, this compact apartment combines period character, good natural light and a rare private garden for its size. It’s best suited to a first-time buyer or professional seeking a manageable city pied-à-terre with long lease security, or an investor targeting steady rental demand in a student-and-professional neighbourhood.
