This compact first-floor flat on Fortfield Road offers straightforward, low-cost ownership with a long lease and no service charge or ground rent. The layout is practical: a bright 12ft lounge, separate fitted kitchen, double bedroom and bathroom. Good double glazing and a Worcester combi boiler give efficient heating and an Energy Rating C.
The property suits a first-time buyer, someone downsizing, or an investor seeking a low-entry purchase in Bristol. Parking is a genuine plus for the area—the flat includes an off-street space—and there is no onward chain, so completion can be quicker than typical sales. Local amenities and several well-rated primary and secondary schools are within reach.
Buyers should note the flat is small (around 431 sq ft) and set in a very deprived neighbourhood with higher-than-average local crime; this affects rental demand and resale perceptions. The tenure is leasehold (991 years remaining) but with no ground rent or service charge, and the communal heating is mains gas community-supplied. The accommodation is presented in a modern style but will suit buyers comfortable with compact living.
Overall, this is a cost-effective, low-maintenance flat that delivers essential comforts and practical ownership terms. It represents clear value for a buyer prioritising affordability, minimal ongoing charges and parking over generous internal space or a premium neighbourhood location.
