This fourth-floor, 50% shared-ownership flat at Baptist Mills Court is a practical entry point to Bristol homeownership. The open-plan living area with floor-to-ceiling windows and a balcony delivers bright, city-facing views and a generous reception space for everyday living. The kitchen and bathroom are modern and ready to use, reducing immediate upgrade costs.
Practical details matter: the lease has about 86 years remaining and the current combined monthly payment (rent plus charges) is approximately £231.59, with the landlord rent portion around £75.91. Service charges average £1,319.28 annually; parking is available on a first-come basis rather than allocated. There is no onward chain, which can speed completion for a buyer who qualifies.
Location is a major draw — an urban, well-connected spot within walking distance of local shops, cafes and public transport, and close to several good primary and secondary schools. Note that the neighbourhood indicators show high local deprivation and very high crime statistics; prospective buyers should factor local safety measures into their decision.
This apartment suits a first-time buyer with a local connection who wants a low-maintenance, centrally located home with clear potential to personalise over time. Broadband speeds are reported slow, so you may need to arrange an improved connection if working from home is essential.
