Set on the top floor of a Georgian terrace between Berkeley Square and the Clifton Triangle, this one-bedroom flat offers bright rooms and rooftop views across Clifton. The apartment benefits from period features including an original fireplace and a large picture window, creating a cosy, characterful bedroom. The living room leads through to a kitchen with space for a small dining table.
Practical strengths include a very long lease of over 950 years and a low service charge of around £100 per month, making ownership straightforward for first-time buyers or investors seeking a low-running-cost central flat. Transport links are strong: Clifton Down station and regular bus routes are walkable, while the city centre and Clifton Village are close by.
Buyers should note the property is compact (about 345 sq ft) with some low ceilings in the living room and an overall small room count. The building is timber-frame as originally constructed and may lack modern insulation; double glazing is present but install date is unknown. The surrounding area is lively and cosmopolitan but locally recorded as having very high crime and signs of area deprivation.
This apartment suits a buyer seeking a central pied-à-terre or rental investment who values character, location and low service costs, and who is comfortable with a small, top-floor home that may require targeted updating to improve thermal performance and finish.
