Set on the second floor of a modern development, this newly renovated two-bedroom apartment offers bright, move-in ready accommodation with a south-facing balcony and a designated parking space. The open-plan living room and fully integrated kitchen create a light, airy space ideal for day-to-day living and entertaining. Both bedrooms are doubles with fitted wardrobes; the principal benefits from an ensuite and there is a separate family bathroom.
Practical running costs and tenure details are clear: the flat is leasehold with 111 years remaining, an average annual service charge of £2,412 and a small ground rent of £250. Heating is electric via room heaters and hot water is electric, which keeps installation simple but can mean higher energy bills compared with gas-heated homes. Double glazing and modern finishes reduce immediate maintenance needs.
Location is a strong selling point for commuters and city-living buyers. Paxton Drive gives fast access to Bristol city centre, Temple Meads station and the Link Road, while nearby North Street and Wapping Wharf provide shops, bars and restaurants. There are several parks and green spaces close by for weekend walks. Buyers should note the wider area scores as deprived and recorded higher-than-average local crime; prospective purchasers may want to review local crime statistics and community measures.
This apartment will suit first-time buyers wanting a low-upkeep city base or investors seeking a modern, two-bed rental in a well-connected postcode. The property’s contemporary presentation reduces immediate renovation cost, though investors should factor in the running costs (service charge, ground rent) and electric heating when modelling yields.
