Ground-floor two-bedroom flat in the Water Lilies eco-development, offering low running costs and contemporary living for a first-time buyer. The open-plan living space and private patio overlook the landscaped community garden, creating a light, social feel. Built to passive-house principles with solar, battery storage, MVHR, triple glazing and high insulation, the home is designed for very low energy bills.
The flat is almost new (constructed 2022) and has an allocated off-street parking space, full-fibre internet and a long lease (998 years). The development includes a community hub and a site microgrid shared by residents; after five years the resident-run energy company may offer future control over local energy provision. Accommodation is compact but well laid-out, with two double bedrooms, an entrance hall, bathroom and utility cupboard.
Buyers should note this is a shared-ownership leasehold property with a service charge of approximately £900. The wider area records higher-than-average crime and significant local deprivation, which may affect resale perceptions. The setting on the edge of Kings Weston Estate and Blaise Castle provides easy access to extensive parkland and straightforward routes into central Bristol and the M5/M4 corridors.
Overall this apartment suits a first-time buyer seeking an affordable route into a forward-looking, energy-efficient community. The development’s sustainable credentials and low running costs are strong selling points, balanced against the shared-ownership tenure and local area challenges.
