Comfortable one-bedroom retirement apartment in a well-kept development in Downend, offered with no onward chain. The first-floor flat sits in attractive communal grounds and includes off-street parking — a straightforward option for someone looking to downsize without major works.
Inside, the layout is traditional and efficient: a galley kitchen, a large living/dining room, a generous double bedroom and a modern shower room. The property is well maintained and benefits from double glazing, gas central heating and an EPC rating of C, offering reasonable running costs and practical comfort.
Practicalities are clear: the flat is leasehold with approximately 160 years remaining and a below-average service charge of £127pcm. The size is modest at about 36 sqm (388 sq ft), so it suits those seeking a compact, low-maintenance home rather than larger accommodation. Being on the first floor means stairs are required to reach the apartment.
Location is a strong selling point — within walking distance of Downend High Street, good local amenities and transport links including the Bristol to Bath cycle path. This is a sensible, low-hassle choice for an over-60 buyer wanting convenience and community in a very affluent area.
