Summary - 17 SOMERSET STREET KINGSDOWN BRISTOL BS2 8NB
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Character-filled two-bedroom flat with skyline bay window in central Kingsdown.
First-floor two-bedroom flat with bay-windowed living room
Set on Somerset Street in sought-after Kingsdown, this two-bedroom first-floor flat makes efficient use of about 699 sq ft of living space. The open-plan kitchen/living area extends into a front bay with high Victorian-style ceilings and a wide city outlook, giving the apartment a bright, airy feel and memorable skyline views. The main bedroom is a generous double to the rear; a second bedroom suits guests or a home office. A neatly maintained three-piece bathroom completes the accommodation.
This is a leasehold flat (long lease remaining) in a period terrace with character features preserved. Practical details include double glazing installed post-2002, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, and a below-average service charge of £540 per year. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent—appealing for students, professionals and remote workers.
Notable considerations are factual: the neighbourhood records above-average crime levels, and the property is timber-framed with assumed no cavity insulation, so heating efficiency may be lower than modern builds. The layout and size are best suited to a small family, couple, or first-time buyer seeking a city-centre home rather than a large-family residence. Council tax is inexpensive.
Kingsdown’s cobbled streets, nearby parks and a vibrant mix of independent shops, pubs and restaurants place this flat within comfortable walking distance of the city centre, Gloucester Road and university facilities. For buyers who value period character, skyline views and central convenience—and who are comfortable with some trade-offs on thermal efficiency and local crime statistics—this property represents an attractive entry point to Bristol living.
