Compact modern flat with parking, communal gardens and long lease—no onward chain.
First-floor two-bedroom apartment, 581 sq ft
A bright two-bedroom first-floor apartment in Hedgers Close, Ashton Vale, offered with no onward chain and a long lease (134 years). The property is compact at 581 sq ft and has been well looked after, presenting an open-plan living, dining and kitchen arrangement that benefits from good natural light. Both bedrooms include built-in wardrobes and there is allocated off-street parking plus access to quiet communal gardens.
Practical running costs are reasonable: below-average service charge (£960 pa), small ground rent (£110 pa) and low council tax. Heating is mains gas via a boiler and radiators; the building is modern (c.2003–2006) with double glazing. These features make the apartment straightforward to run for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a let-ready property.
Notable drawbacks are the flat’s small overall size and very slow broadband speeds, which may frustrate home-workers. The local area records above-average crime levels — buyers should factor this into their location checks. The flat is leasehold, so those unfamiliar with leasehold ownership should budget for ongoing service charges and ground rent.
Location is a key plus: quick access to Bristol city centre, Temple Meads and local green spaces such as Ashton Court Estate. Nearby schools have predominantly good Ofsted ratings, and local amenities and bus links are within easy reach, making this a practical urban base for a first-time buyer or a buy-to-let investor seeking steady rental demand.
