Set within Windmill Hill, this compact one-bedroom garden flat offers a rare combination: private outside space, off-street parking and a chain-free purchase. The layout works like a small house with its own entrance, reception room, open-plan kitchen/diner and a shower room — all arranged across about 323 sq ft (30 m²). The enclosed rear garden is private and sunny, ideal for potted plants or a small seating area.
Practicalities are straightforward: long lease (over 1,000 years from original term), very low council tax band and no regular service charge — repairs are handled by agreement between owners. That simplicity will suit a first-time buyer or downsizer looking for an affordable city base with outside space and good local amenities.
Buyers should note this is a small flat and has some running-cost and improvement considerations. Heating is by electric room heaters, the EPC is grade E, and the original sandstone/limestone walls are assumed uninsulated. The garden has mid-20th-century features and will benefit from some landscaping to make the most of the space.
Overall, this is a tidy, low-maintenance flat in an established, well-connected neighbourhood of Bristol. It suits someone seeking a compact home with private outside space and straightforward ownership, and who is comfortable upgrading heating or insulation over time.
