Bright, compact and well-presented, this two-bedroom first-floor flat offers easy, low-effort living in Thornbury town centre. The open-plan living/dining/kitchen is airy and light, with French doors to a Juliet balcony and contemporary Porcelanosa fittings in the kitchen and bathroom. At about 626 sq ft the layout is efficient for singles, couples or first-time buyers wanting a manageable home close to local shops and schools.
Practical running costs include a long lease (effectively 988–999 years remaining), modest ground rent (£200pa) and a service charge averaging £1,660pa (billed £830.16 each six months). Council tax band A is very cheap. The property comes chain free and includes one off-street parking space, communal gardens, visitor parking and a secure bike shed.
Note the heating is electric with room heaters and eco radiators/towel rail rather than gas central heating; this can be more expensive to run. The local area records higher crime levels and broader area deprivation, so buyers prioritising perceived security should factor that in. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, making the flat well-suited to remote working or renters seeking connectivity.
Overall this is a straightforward, ready-to-occupy apartment with modern finishes and low maintenance outside space. It will suit first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors who value location, long lease security and easy upkeep, provided they accept electric heating and the local area profile.
