Summary - 51.02 APARTMENTS FLAT 316 ST JAMES BARTON BRISTOL BS1 3LY
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Chain-free 450 sq ft south-facing studio with parking — ideal for first-time buyers or investors.
450 sq ft large studio with open-plan layout
Bright, large studio in the 5102 development offering 450 sq ft of open-plan living with floor-to-ceiling south-facing windows. The apartment sits on the third floor and benefits from secure fob access, on-site concierge, and off-street parking — practical features for city-centre life.
This property is a straightforward option for a first-time buyer or investor: chain-free sale, long lease (975 years), and reasonable annual costs. The building is resident-managed, with transparent service-charge reinvestment and an established reserve fund, which helps predict ongoing running costs.
Be realistic about the trade-offs. The flat uses electric storage heating and is fully leasehold with an annual service charge (£1,687) and ground rent (£258). The local area is an inner-city, multicultural neighbourhood with very high recorded crime and very high deprivation indicators — factors that will affect lifestyle and potential tenant profiles.
There is clear potential to add value through cosmetic upgrades or a reconfiguration to maximise rental appeal. Its proximity to Cabot Circus, the harbourside and Temple Meads makes it convenient for commuting, nightlife and retail, supporting strong rental demand in the city centre.
