A smart, well-kept studio apartment on the second floor, this flat is a practical entry point to Redfield living. The open-plan living/kitchen and separate sleeping area make the most of a compact footprint, while loft and internal storage help keep clutter down. Double glazing and electric storage heaters are already in place.
Location is the standout: a few minutes’ walk from Church Road’s cafés, pubs and shops, with Netham Park, St George Park and the Bristol–Bath cycle path close by. Good local transport links include nearby bus routes and Lawrence Hill station, and city-centre commuting is straightforward.
The property suits first-time buyers seeking a low-maintenance home or investors after a straightforward rental. Practical benefits include secure allocated parking, a communal courtyard and a very long lease (960 years). Buyers should note the service charge (£1,202pa) and small ground rent (£30pa).
Be candid about a couple of drawbacks: the flat relies on electric storage heating (higher running costs than gas) and the neighbourhood records above-average crime rates. The building dates from the 1980s and is generally well maintained, but any buyer should budget for typical wear-and-tear updates rather than major works.
