A compact one-bedroom apartment set on the top floor of a converted Victorian building in St Pauls, offered chain free and with a share of freehold. The open-plan living/kitchen is bright with a skylight and the bedroom is a generous double with built-in potential for storage. EPC rating C and very low council tax band A reduce running costs compared with similar city flats.
This home suits first-time buyers or investors seeking an affordable city-centre entry point close to Cabot Circus, Portland Square and excellent transport links to Temple Meads and the M32. An allocated external storage area for bikes adds practical value for urban living, and the property’s period character will appeal to buyers who like historic fabric.
Be aware of clear limitations: the apartment is small at c.383 sq ft and situated in a very deprived, high-crime postcode — factors that may affect rental yield, resale and personal comfort. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the original solid brick walls likely lack insulation, so expect potentially higher energy use in colder months and possible improvement works to upgrade thermal performance.
This is a low-cost, low-entry opportunity with good location upside but material trade-offs. Buyers should factor in renovation or insulation work if improving comfort and long-term running costs is important. Also note mandatory HMRC anti-money laundering checks are required and a third-party compliance fee applies when progressing an offer.
