This ground-floor two-bedroom flat offers an affordable city-living entry point in the heart of Old Market, a short walk from Temple Meads and Cabot Circus. The open-plan lounge and kitchen lead directly to a private courtyard garden that catches the sun, and one bedroom also has French-door access to the outdoor space. The property is chain-free and sits within secure communal gates with communal bike storage — practical for commuters and city residents.
Suitably aimed at first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors, the apartment is compact (approximately 441 sq ft) and efficient: double glazing, electric heating, and a modern bathroom. The long lease (circa 999 years) gives ownership security, and permit parking is available cheaply through the council. Service charge is £1,250 per year; there is no ground rent currently.
Buyers should note important area and property considerations: Old Market is a vibrant, multicultural student neighbourhood and the immediate locality has a very high crime score and high levels of deprivation. The apartment’s small overall size will suit those seeking a city-base or rental investment rather than a family home. Electric heating and an immersion tank are in use, which can mean higher running costs than gas-heated homes.
Overall this is a pragmatic, well-located opportunity for a purchaser wanting central access and outdoor space without a chain. Investors can expect steady tenant demand from students and professionals given the proximity to transport and city amenities; owner-occupiers should weigh the compact footprint and local safety statistics against the price and convenience.
