This well-presented two-bedroom ground-floor apartment offers an affordable entry into Portishead with a rare private rear garden for an apartment. The open-plan living/kitchen benefits from modern finishes and efficient layout across 551 sq ft, suited to a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking low flood risk close to the marina.
Practical running costs are clear: a long lease (989 years) provides ownership security, but there is an annual service charge (approx. £1,400) and a small ground rent (£250). The property includes an allocated parking space, visitor bays, and fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for commuting and flexible working.
Location is a genuine strong point: close to town amenities, the marina, good local schools and a pending railway line that will improve commuting into Bristol. The building and apartment appear contemporary and well-maintained, though the overall development footprint is small and the balcony/exterior will need routine upkeep.
Notable negatives to factor in: the apartment is compact, so storage and living space are limited, and local crime rates are above average. Prospective buyers should view to assess space and feel for communal living versus a house, and budget for ongoing service charges and external maintenance.
