Set on the first floor of a handsome Victorian building in sought-after BS6, this two-bedroom apartment offers a bright, characterful space with high ceilings and period stone façade. At about 473 sq ft it’s compact but well-proportioned, with large windows and natural light throughout. The long 179-year lease and chain-free sale make transaction straightforward for buyers.
The flat is offered as a renovation project: it needs updating and currently uses electric room heaters with secondary glazing and assumed uninsulated granite walls. These features keep initial capital outlay lower, but you should budget for modern heating, insulation and cosmetic works to unlock the property’s full potential. Service charge is approximately £1,656 per year and council tax is low.
Location is a key selling point — a cosmopolitan student and professional neighbourhood with excellent broadband and mobile signal, close to Montpelier train station and a wide range of shops, cafés and amenities. The area is affluent overall, with several good and highly ranked schools nearby, making the flat suitable for first-time buyers or investors targeting rental demand from students and young professionals.
Buyers should note a higher local crime rate and the need for renovation when weighing cost and rental or resale prospects. For someone seeking a characterful period property to modernise in a prime Bristol postcode, this is a straightforward, chain-free opportunity with significant upside once updated.
