The living room opens to a fitted kitchen and the double bedroom is a practical size for single or couple occupancy.

Buyers should note this is a 60% shared ownership with monthly rent (£363.92) and service charges (estate/internal £161.63; reserve/insurance £55.02). The property runs on electric heating (night storage and panel heaters); heating costs can be higher than gas alternatives. There are 116 years remaining on the lease.
The location offers excellent connectivity: Temple Meads is within walking distance and local independent cafés, parks and amenities are nearby.
