This spacious two-bedroom duplex apartment in St Luke’s Hall offers nearly 92sqm (990 sqft) of living space across two levels, making it a comfortable home for first-time buyers or professionals. The principal bedroom enjoys a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, while an upstairs open-plan living area and fitted kitchen with breakfast bar create a sociable heart to the home. A private balcony provides open views and outdoor space without the maintenance of a garden.
Practical conveniences include an allocated off-street parking space, secure bike and bin stores, and a long lease (241 years remaining). The flat sits on a community heating scheme and has an EPC rating of C. Annual costs include a service charge of £2,055.15 and ground rent of £250, which contribute to communal upkeep.
Buyers should be aware of local context: the immediate area records very high crime levels and is classed as very deprived, factors that may influence resale and lifestyle. Broadband is average and the property is leasehold — while the lease is long, ongoing service charges are material to running costs. The apartment’s contemporary layout and generous size, however, present clear scope for comfortable living and good rental potential in BS3.
Overall, this is a roomy modern duplex that balances low-maintenance living with practical amenities. It will suit buyers prioritising internal space, an ensuite main bedroom, and parking within a lively city neighbourhood, provided they accept the area's social challenges and ongoing communal costs.
