1 bed 1 bath Flat
Sunny, character one-bedroom retirement flat opposite the Downs with lift and communal parking.
Striking rose window and two south-facing porthole windows
A rare one-bedroom retirement apartment within a converted Gothic Revival church, Guardian Court offers strong character and generous natural light. The living room is dominated by a striking rose window and two south-facing porthole windows, creating a bright, airy space and a memorable focal point for entertaining or relaxing. The bedroom also benefits from a full-height leaded window, enhancing the period charm.
Practical features include lift access to the third-floor flat, communal undercover parking, communal garden, a 24-hour emergency call system and a visiting manager—useful for independent over-60s living. The flat sits opposite the Downs, with easy access to shops and local amenities in Clifton.
Be aware of material considerations: the building is listed and in a conservation area which will restrict alterations. Service charge is high (approximately £541.30 pcm) and heating is by electric storage heaters, which can affect running costs. Leasehold terms are long (136 years remaining) with a small ground rent of £75 pa. No onward chain may simplify purchase timing.
This property will suit a buyer seeking characterful retirement living in a prestigious Clifton location who accepts conservation restrictions and higher communal costs. Its standout windows and proximity to the Downs make it a comfortable, low-maintenance home with strong local amenities close by.
