Chain-free one-bedroom garden flat minutes from Cabot Circus—ideal for city-first buyers.
Chain-free and ready to exchange with private low-maintenance garden
Ready to exchange and offered chain-free, this one-bedroom garden flat sits within a converted Victorian cinema on the cusp of Bristol city centre. The apartment benefits from an open-plan living space with patio doors directly onto a private, low-maintenance garden—rare for central city flats—and a contemporary kitchen and bathroom. Its compact 480 sqft layout suits single buyers or couples seeking easy city living with outdoor space.
Practical details are straightforward: a 113-year lease remains, service charge £1,287pa and ground rent £284pa, and Council Tax Band A keeps ongoing costs modest. Heating is by electric room heaters, so running costs can be higher than gas-heated homes; the property also has very slow broadband speeds which may affect home working. The build is modern (post-2007 conversion) with double glazing already installed.
Location is a major draw: a short walk to Cabot Circus, Harbourside and Temple Meads, with excellent mobile signal and strong transport links including the M32 and frequent buses. That central spot makes the flat appealing to first-time buyers wanting convenient city life and investors seeking a lettable city-base close to key amenities.
Be candid about neighbourhood realities: the area records very high crime and sits in a very deprived ward, which may impact perceived security and resale considerations. The flat is well presented but buyers should factor in potential costs for improving heating, installing faster broadband, or any desired cosmetic updates. Overall it is a compact, well-located garden flat offering immediate occupation and clear short-term convenience.
