Tucked just moments from Clifton Village and the open spaces of The Downs, this ground-floor one-bedroom flat offers a rare private patio garden and a compact, practical layout ideal for a first-time buyer. The main reception is bright and leads directly onto the patio, creating an easy indoor–outdoor flow that’s uncommon at this price and location.
The accommodation is arranged over two levels with a comfortable double bedroom, a flexible snug that works well as a home office, and a lower-ground bathroom with laundry cupboard. The kitchen and bathroom are functional but dated, so there’s clear scope to add value through straightforward updating to reflect modern tastes.
Ownership is straightforward: share of freehold with approximately 968 years remaining and a modest service charge of around £100pcm. There is no onward chain and the owners report a maintenance fund of about £20,000; council tax is band B, and the building sits in a very affluent, low-crime area with excellent broadband and mobile signal.
Practical points to note: the bathroom sits on the lower-ground level which may affect natural light; the property is compact (one bedroom, circa 571 sq ft) and best suited to a single occupant, couple, or buy-to-let investor looking for a Clifton address. A short programme of modernisation would unlock potential and improve resale or rental returns.
