A bright two-bedroom first-floor flat set in a stone-fronted Victorian/Georgian conversion on Cotham Road. The elevated position and large sash-style window bring excellent morning light into the open-plan lounge/diner, which features original cornice, a traditional fireplace and high ceilings that emphasise the space. At about 653 sqft, the layout comfortably fits two double bedrooms, a separate kitchen, bathroom and useful built-in storage — practical for sharers or a first-time buyer wanting room to grow.
The property retains attractive period character while offering everyday conveniences: mains gas boiler and radiators, double glazing (install date unknown) and fast broadband and mobile signal. There is private or communal rear garden space with treed views, and local transport links are strong — Redland station, regular buses and a 15–20 minute walk to the city centre. The area is well served by cafes, shops and good-rated schools, making it easy to live locally without relying on a car.
Important facts and considerations are straightforward. The flat is leasehold with about 117 years remaining and a small ground rent of £250. The building’s sandstone walls are likely uninsulated (as-built), so additional insulation or secondary measures could be needed to improve thermal efficiency. Crime levels in the area are reported as above average — a practical factor for buyers to weigh. Overall, this is a characterful, well-located flat that suits buyers seeking period features, good light and convenient city living, while accepting some retrofit and security considerations.
