A ground-floor, two-bedroom apartment on the Southmead/Horfield border offering practical living and outdoor space. The layout includes a bright living room, two well-proportioned bedrooms, a family bathroom and a kitchen with direct access to a private garden and outside storage — useful for first-time buyers, downsizers or buy-to-let investors.
The building dates from the mid-20th century and benefits from double glazing installed after 2002 and mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators. The 100-year lease remaining, below-average service charge (£300), very low ground rent (£10) and Band A council tax make ownership costs relatively low. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit homeworking or a tenant market.
There are some clear maintenance and specification issues to note. The living room ceiling has a visible crack and the solid brick walls are likely uninsulated, so some modernisation and improvement works may be needed to raise comfort and energy efficiency. The area records above-average crime statistics; consider this when assessing security or letting prospects.
Positioning is practical: short distances to Southmead Hospital, local shops, transport links and green spaces. The property is described as non-standard — buyers should consult their surveyor and legal advisers before committing. For those prepared to personalise the flat, this is a cost-effective way into a popular Bristol postcode with straightforward running costs and garden space.
