This ground-floor, one-bedroom flat in Montpelier combines classic Victorian character with practical modern updates. High ceilings, a bay-fronted lounge and period mouldings create an airy, bright living space; the recent window replacements and a modern kitchen make the flat move-in ready.
The layout suits first-time buyers or downsizers seeking a manageable, well-presented home close to independent shops, cafés and strong transport links to the city centre and Ashley Down station. The apartment is offered chain-free and has a very long lease, reducing long-term tenure concerns.
Be mindful of local context: the neighbourhood is a cosmopolitan, student-oriented area with above-average crime and pockets of deprivation. The building’s solid-brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation, so heating costs may be higher than in modern builds despite mains gas boiler and radiators.
Practical running costs are reasonable: a below-average service charge and a nominal ground rent, plus very cheap council tax. The flat presents a straightforward purchase with character, light and local amenities, balanced by urban area issues and potential energy-efficiency limitations.
