A ground-floor garden flat in Fishponds, this one-bedroom property offers private outdoor space and straightforward living close to local shops and transport. The long lease (117 years) and below-average service charge make it practical for first-time buyers seeking an affordable entry to Bristol.
The flat is compact (approximately 416 sq ft) and built in the early 20th century, with double glazing and gas central heating already installed. The living room and bedroom are functional but the interior shows plain, mid-century finishes and will benefit from cosmetic updating to maximise space and value.
Location is a clear strength: good broadband and mobile signal, easy access to the Bristol Cycle Pathway, and several well-rated primary and secondary schools nearby. The neighbourhood supports family amenities such as parks, sports facilities and local shops, though the wider area registers higher levels of deprivation and average crime rates.
Practical considerations: this is a leasehold flat with a small ground rent and modest service charge. Buyers should factor in the small overall footprint, potential renovation costs, and weigh the benefits of the private garden and long lease when deciding to view.
