A bright, well-presented two-bedroom first-floor apartment in central Bristol, offered as 75% shared ownership and sold chain-free. The living area opens to a balcony, and the fitted modern kitchen and bathroom make the apartment move-in ready for a first-time buyer or couple. Allocated gated parking is a practical bonus in this central location.
The property sits within easy walking distance of Cabot Circus, Portland Square and the harbourside, with strong public transport links and fast broadband. Constructed in the late 2000s, the flat benefits from double glazing and an energy-efficient air-source heat pump with underfloor heating.
There are important points to check before committing: lease details are inconsistent in the paperwork (advertised as 996 years in places but 83 years elsewhere), and this is a shared ownership sale — buyers should confirm the percentage, monthly service charges and any additional leasehold fees. The area is described as very deprived with a noted high crime rate, which may affect suitability for some purchasers.
Overall, this compact 557 sqft apartment offers a contemporary, low-maintenance home in the city centre with parking and outdoor space, well suited to first-time buyers who prioritise location and convenience. Buyers wanting long-term security or a quieter neighbourhood should research lease specifics and local crime statistics before viewing.
