This one-bedroom first-floor flat in Shirehampton offers compact, modern living close to the village high street and local transport links. The open-plan living area with a fitted kitchen, double glazing and gas central heating makes day-to-day life straightforward, and the entry-phone and communal security door add a layer of convenience.
At 359 sq ft the apartment is small but efficient; it will suit a first-time buyer or investor seeking an affordable entry into the Bristol market. Built in 2003, the building is relatively modern and the long lease (approx. 102–103 years remaining) gives security for mortgage applications. Council tax is low, and broadband and mobile signals are strong.
Be clear on the ongoing costs and local context. The annual service charge is around £1,051 and ground rent is £175 per year (scheduled to double every 25 years), which affect running costs and long-term affordability. The local area is classified as very deprived with above-average crime statistics — factors to weigh for buyers prioritising community profile and resale expectations.
Practical features — proximity to schools rated Good, easy access to public transport, park & ride and the motorway — support commuter or rental demand. The flat does not have a lift (first-floor access via stairs) and its compact footprint limits space; consider whether renovation or reconfiguration could unlock more value before viewing.
