This two-double-bedroom upper-floor apartment (listed as first/second floor) offers straightforward, affordable entry to Patchway with clear commuter advantages. At 668 sq ft, the layout includes a living room overlooking communal gardens, a kitchen, bathroom and two double bedrooms — a practical home for first-time buyers or investors seeking rental potential.
Strengths include nearby Cribbs Causeway shopping and direct access to M4/M5 and Aztec West, plus communal gardens and off-street parking. The property is chain-free, has no ground rent and a relatively low service charge of £636, which helps running costs. The 89 years remaining on the lease is workable but should be reviewed by a solicitor before purchase.
Buyers should note material negatives: the apartment is in a deprived, hampered neighbourhood classification with average local crime and a secondary school rated ‘Requires improvement’. Heating is electric underfloor, which can be more expensive than gas alternatives. The building dates from the late 1960s–1970s and may benefit from updating; the flat is likely best for those prepared to refurbish over time rather than expect a turnkey finish.
Overall, this is a practical, well-located apartment for a commuter, first-time buyer or investor who values transport links and low immediate costs (no ground rent, modest service charge). Factor in lease length, local area challenges and potential future works when deciding whether to view.
