Summary - 31b, Kimberley Road, Fishponds, BRISTOL BS16 5AE
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Quiet, low-maintenance flat ideal for first-time buyers or investors.
Long lease (979 years) with low service charge (£50/month)
Set within a small modern development on a quiet no-through road at the Bristol/South Gloucestershire border, this first-floor, two-bedroom apartment offers a practical, low-maintenance home or buy-to-let opportunity. The layout includes a good-sized lounge/dining room, kitchen with fitted units and far-reaching views, two average bedrooms and a bathroom — all in a compact 549 sq ft footprint. The long lease (979 years) and designated off-street parking add tangible ownership ease.
This property suits first-time buyers and professionals looking for a straightforward move-in-ready base close to Staple Hill and Fishponds high streets. The building is one of just four apartments, creating a stable, small-community feel while keeping service charges below average at £50 per month. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, and local schools are highly rated, making the location practical for everyday life.
Buy-to-let investors will find consistent rental appeal: modern construction (2003–2006), mains gas central heating, double glazing, and low running costs (very cheap council tax). There is a single designated parking space and simple communal access, which helps tenant attraction and management.
Notable drawbacks are factual and important: the overall internal size is small at 549 sq ft, which limits storage and large furniture layouts. Some internal finishes appear dated (notably the living-room carpet) and the single bathroom may be limiting for sharers or families. Tenure is leasehold — though the lease term is effectively long — and service charge applies. Viewings are recommended to confirm space and condition for your needs.
