This compact one-bedroom apartment in Garamond Court places you within walking distance of Bristol Temple Meads and the Harbourside, making it a practical base for city living or a let aimed at professionals and students. The living room is bright and opens to a separate, well-appointed kitchen; the principal bedroom overlooks tidy communal gardens. An allocated off-street parking space is a useful city-centre benefit.
The flat is small at approximately 435 sq ft and is heated by electric storage heaters; double glazing is fitted but installation date is unknown. Service charge and ground rent apply (reported at around £1,000 and £250 respectively). Council tax is described as low. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting remote working or streaming for tenants or owners.
Important practical issues: the property is leasehold with about 62 years remaining. This is below typical lender thresholds and could make obtaining a mortgage difficult or impossible without a specialist lender or lease extension. The local area is noted as very deprived with very high crime levels; these factors will affect desirability, insurance and rental demand.
For first-time buyers who can proceed with cash or obtain specialist mortgage advice, the apartment offers an affordable city-centre entry point with parking and good connectivity. For investors, the location close to transport hubs and amenities supports lettability, but factor in short lease complications, ongoing charges and local area risk when assessing yield and exit strategy.
