Set within a Grade II listed Georgian townhouse on Hotwell Road, this first-floor one-bedroom flat offers period character and a convenient city-centre position. High ceilings and original mouldings give the living space character, while a compact kitchen-breakfast room and a modern bathroom provide everyday practicality for a single occupant or couple.
The flat is sold share of freehold with a very long lease (approximately 972 years) and is offered chain free, making purchase straightforward. Heating is by electric storage heaters; the building has solid brick walls with no known insulation, and double glazing is fitted but the installation date is unknown — useful details for budgeting future running or improvement costs.
As a listed building there are restrictions that will affect alterations and maintenance, and the property’s historic status may complicate some updates. The immediate area is a cosmopolitan, student-heavy neighbourhood with above-average crime statistics; buyers should weigh rental or occupation plans accordingly.
Positioned close to Clifton Village, Bristol Harbourside and the city centre, the flat suits first-time buyers or investors looking for a characterful property in a central postcode (BS8) with good broadband and mobile signal. Council tax is low and flood risk is minimal, adding practical appeal to the central location.
