This chain-free, first-floor two-bedroom apartment in Bradley Stoke offers a straightforward, modern home or a low-hassle investment in a well-connected suburb. The accommodation is light and neutral throughout, with a separate kitchen, good-size lounge/diner and two double bedrooms — ready for immediate occupation or rental with minimal work.
Practical benefits include UPVC double glazing, an allocated off-street parking space and 135 years remaining on the lease, giving long-term security for owner-occupiers and investors. The location sits close to The Willow Brook Centre, local schools rated 'Good', regular bus routes and easy access to the M4/M5 and Bristol Parkway.
Be aware of the main drawbacks: heating is by electric room heaters rather than a central gas system, which can be more costly to run; there is a modest annual ground rent of £225; and the property is leasehold. The building dates from the early 2000s and presents as well-maintained, but buyers should check service charge details and running costs before committing.
Overall this apartment suits first-time buyers seeking a low-entry purchase and investors after a lettable, low-upkeep asset. It combines convenience, decent space for its footprint and sensible tenure length, balanced against higher running costs from electric heating and the usual leasehold considerations.
