Set on the first floor of an attractive Victorian conversion in Lower Meads, this one-bedroom apartment has been significantly upgraded and presented to a high standard. The generous bay-windowed lounge with high ceilings and period detailing fills the flat with light and offers views towards the Devonshire Park tennis courts — a standout living space for relaxing or entertaining.
The bedroom is double-sized with fitted wardrobes and a luxury en-suite that combines a roll-top bath and separate shower. The fitted kitchen includes integrated Bosch appliances and useful extras such as a wine cooler and tumble dryer, making the flat move-in ready for a single buyer or couple.
Practical strengths include a long lease (108 years remaining), share of freehold ownership, double glazing, gas central heating, and a below-average service charge. The property sits within easy walking distance of the town centre and mainline station, with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
Buyers should note material downsides plainly: the area records very high crime and is relatively deprived, which may concern some purchasers. The building dates from before 1900 and has solid brick walls likely without modern cavity insulation, and the EPC rating is D. Internal inspection is recommended to assess suitability and conservation-style maintenance needs for a period property.
