Bright one-bed flat with park outlook, lift access and allocated parking — no onward chain..
Allocated parking space included
A bright one-bedroom apartment overlooking Greville Smyth Park, offered with no onward chain. The open-plan lounge/kitchen benefits from large windows and included appliances, creating an airy, low-maintenance living space suited to a first home or buy-to-let. The block has lift access and one allocated parking space, plus communal bin and bike storage.
Practical details matter: the flat is leasehold with approximately 84 years remaining and an annual service charge of £1,128.50. Heating is electric (room heaters), and the property has an EPC rating of C. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, making the flat convenient for remote working or streaming.
Buyers should note the surrounding area's challenges. The wider area is classified as deprived and local crime levels are high — factors that can affect comfort, insurance costs and long-term rental demand. The apartment's electricity heating and remaining lease length are also important when weighing mortgage and long-term value considerations.
In short, this is a straightforward, contemporary one-bed in a well-connected part of BS3, ideal for a pragmatic first-time buyer or investor who wants immediate occupation, a park outlook and easy access to North Street and city links, while accepting the material drawbacks around tenure, heating and local area statistics.
