Set on leafy Cotham Road, this ground-floor one-bedroom flat offers a practical city base with private outdoor space. The bright living room and well-proportioned double bedroom make efficient use of the 595 sq ft, and useful cellar storage increases overall utility. The flat sits in a handsome pre-1900 stucco townhouse close to shops, pubs and Redland station, making it ideal for commuters or those who want easy access to Bristol city centre.
The building retains period character externally but the flat is heated by electric room heaters rather than gas central heating; mains electric is the primary fuel. Walls are sandstone/limestone with assumed no insulation, so expect higher-than-average heating bills or potential retrofit costs if insulating. The property is leasehold with a very long lease (959 years) but carries an annual service charge of about £2,200 and a small ground rent of £15.
For a buyer looking to let, the cosmopolitan student-and-professional catchment and proximity to restaurants, independent shops and transport should support rental demand. Owner-occupiers and first-time buyers will appreciate the private entrance, garden access, and the quiet, green aspect. The flat is realistically sized for a single occupant or couple and offers scope for cosmetic updating rather than major structural work.
Viewings are recommended to assess the heating arrangement, internal finish and garden aspect in person. While the flat provides an attractive central location and long lease security, factor in service charges and potential insulation or heating upgrades when assessing overall running costs.
