Set within a sympathetic conversion on Winsley Road, this two-bedroom apartment combines contemporary fixtures with period character. The open-plan living area is bright and finished with herringbone flooring, a high-spec NEFF kitchen and fast fibre broadband — ready for modern city living. Allocated underground parking, communal garden and secure bike storage add practical convenience for daily life.
The apartment sits in a lively, cosmopolitan neighbourhood close to Cheltenham Road and Bristol city centre, ideal for those who want shops, cafes and transport on the doorstep. The Wiser smart heating system and quality bathroom fittings reduce immediate renovation needs; the long lease (circa 999 years) is a long-term ownership positive.
Notable considerations are the property’s leasehold status with an annual service charge of about £1,600 and ground rent of £270. Local area data identifies a high crime level and a strong student presence — buyers seeking quiet suburban streets may find the location busier and noisier than average. Council tax band B is relatively low, but purchasers should factor in communal management costs when budgeting.
This apartment will suit a first-time buyer seeking a well-specified city base or an investor targeting strong rental demand from students and young professionals. It offers low immediate maintenance, good transport links and genuine potential as a comfortable, convenient home or a let-ready asset.
