Summary -
FLAT 53 DUCROW COURT,BACKFIELDS LANE,BRISTOL,BS2 8AR
BS2 8AR
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Affordable shared‑ownership one-bed with balcony and renewable heating in central Bristol.
50% shared ownership — 50% share £125,000 (full value £250,000)
This top-floor one-bedroom apartment in Ducrow Court is offered as a 50% shared-ownership share valued at £125,000, making central Bristol living more accessible for first-time buyers. The flat is compact (circa 466 sq ft) with an open-plan kitchen/living area that opens onto a south‑west facing balcony with open urban views — a light, efficient layout suited to single professionals or couples.
The building is a circa 10‑year‑old development with modern exterior finishes, communal garden, bike stores and a secure allocated parking space. Heating is via an air‑source heat pump with underfloor heating, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and supporting lower running costs. Service charge and additional monthly payments are modest compared with some developments; council tax is described as very cheap.
Important practical points: this is a shared‑ownership property and applicants must prove a local connection. There are extra monthly costs (rent, building insurance, management charge, reserve fund payment) in addition to the share price. The area is described as inner‑city cosmopolitan but also very deprived with a high crime rate — buyers should weigh neighbourhood factors and safety considerations.
Overall this apartment suits someone seeking an affordable route into city centre living who wants modern, low‑energy heating and private outdoor space. It is compact and efficiently arranged rather than a spacious family home; factor the shared ownership conditions, ongoing charges and local area context into your decision.
