A well-proportioned one-bedroom garden flat on Cheltenham Road, offering period character and surprisingly generous ceiling height for city living. The reception room features a traditional sash window, an open fireplace and built-in shelving, while the separate kitchen provides everyday practicality with fitted units and space for appliances. A private front garden and direct gated access to a communal rear garden extend living space outdoors.
This flat is particularly well suited to a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking a central Stokes Croft location, just 0.5 miles from the city centre and close to independent shops, cafés and transport links. The property is share of freehold with a long lease (981 years) and a low service charge of £40, which supports running costs.
Be realistic about the area and the finish: Stokes Croft is a cosmopolitan, student-heavy neighbourhood with very high local crime rates and significant area deprivation. The building is a pre-1900 period conversion with assumed uninsulated sandstone walls, so heating may be less efficient and some cosmetic updating could be beneficial. No parking is specified and external space is a small private courtyard and garden rather than a large lawn.
