Ground-floor studio/one-bed, 322 sq ft (small)
A compact ground-floor studio-style apartment on Elm Lane, offered chain-free and with a long lease (c.936 years). At 322 sq ft this home requires renovation, presenting a clear opportunity for a first-time buyer or investor to add value through updating. The layout includes an entrance hall, combined lounge/bedroom, separate kitchen, bathroom and useful storage.
Practical benefits include a private garage, communal gardens and nearby green spaces such as Clifton Downs. The block dates from the late 20th century and sits a short walk from Whiteladies Road’s shops, cafes and transport links, making it convenient for commuters, students and professionals.
Buyers should note the flat uses electric room heaters and double glazing with unknown install date; heating may be less efficient than modern central systems. The property needs modernisation throughout, and the accommodation is small — better suited to single occupancy or as a rental. Service charge is below average at £920 and council tax is very low, helping running costs.
Overall this is a pragmatic purchase: a well-located, long-lease apartment with garage and garden access, ideal for someone happy to renovate for personal use or to target the strong local rental market.
