A bright, modern one-bedroom apartment in Decourcy House, finished in 2021 and arranged over about 410 sq ft. The open-plan reception/kitchen and double bedroom make efficient use of space for a single occupant or couple. Shared‑ownership pricing here offers a 75% share for £157,500 (100% value £210,000), making entry to the Bristol market more affordable.
The building is gated with a covered lobby, low‑maintenance communal landscaping and a small private courtyard. City‑centre living puts cafés, shops and cultural amenities close at hand, and the location benefits from excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for remote working. Transport links are good for getting around the city.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold shared‑ownership flat with 241 years remaining and ongoing charges: monthly rent £147.77, service charge £156.21, lease management fee £25.02 (total monthly outgoings £329 before mortgage); annual average service charge shown as £1,874.52. Heating is by electric room heaters, which can mean higher running costs than gas central heating.
The immediate area is an inner‑city, multicultural neighbourhood with a high student population and very high recorded crime and high levels of deprivation. This flat will suit first‑time buyers or investors who prioritise modern, low‑maintenance city living and affordable entry via shared ownership, but who are comfortable with an urban setting and the running costs associated with electric heating.
