The fitted kitchen and contemporary shower room are practical and low-maintenance, ready for immediate occupation with no onward chain.
The roof terrace is the property’s standout feature — significantly larger than typical city flats and offering wide, attractive urban and distant green views. It’s a versatile space for entertaining, plants, or a quiet breakfast spot. The flat’s position keeps local amenities, cafés and North Street within easy walking distance while still providing a tranquil private outlook.
Practical points to note: the home is leasehold with a long lease (around 989 years remaining) and an annual service charge of about £2,337. Council tax is described as very cheap. The area is lively and cosmopolitan, with excellent mobile signal and average broadband speeds; crime levels are above average locally, so consider security and insurance needs.
Overall this is a compact, contemporary city flat that suits a first-time buyer wanting outside space and central convenience, or an investor seeking a straightforward, lettable one-bed in a popular Bristol postcode. Early viewing recommended to appreciate the terrace and light-filled layout.
