Affordable city-centre studio near university and amenities, ideal for first-time buyers.
Long lease — c. 994 years remaining
Very high local crime rate — consider security needs
Close to Bristol University and city centre amenities
Secure bike storage included
Service charge about £1,368 per year
Ground rent approximately £150 per year
Very slow broadband speeds in building
Compact studio layout — small living space
Set in a Victorian mixed-use building on Baldwin Street, this compact studio offers straightforward city-centre living with high rental appeal. The flat is a practical purchase for first-time buyers or investors seeking proximity to Bristol University, shops, cafés and transport links.
Inside, the studio provides a bright living/sleeping space, a fitted kitchen and a modern shower room. The long lease (approximately 994 years remaining) and included secure bike storage are strong practical benefits for urban occupants.
Buyers should note material negatives: the neighbourhood is classified as a cosmopolitan student area with very high local crime levels, and broadband speeds in the building are reported as very slow. Annual service charge and ground rent apply (approximately £1,368 and £150 respectively), and the property is offered leasehold.
Overall, this is an affordable, centrally located studio with clear rental and first-step-on-the-ladder potential. It suits someone who prioritises location and low-maintenance city living, and who accepts the trade-offs of a busy student neighbourhood and modest communal services.
