Summary - DOWNFIELD LODGE 23 DOWNFIELD ROAD BRISTOL BS8 2TQ
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact, well-located flat with private garage and long lease near the Downs.
Private garage at the rear — rare for the area
Light-filled one-bedroom apartment in Downfield Lodge, positioned moments from Whiteladies Road and the open expanse of the Downs. The apartment has an open-plan living/kitchen, a double bedroom and a contemporary shower room, all laid out within a compact 439 sq ft — a practical, low-maintenance home for a first-time buyer or a straightforward rental for an investor.
A rare practical advantage for this neighbourhood is the private garage at the rear, plus communal front gardens. The property is offered with no onward chain and sits on a very long lease (circa 939 years), with a nominal ground rent and a predictable service charge of around £1,200 per year.
Buyers should note the apartment is small and reflects mid-20th-century construction. Heating is by electric storage heaters and walls are assumed to have no added cavity insulation, so there is scope to improve energy efficiency. The interior will benefit from modernization for those seeking contemporary finishes and higher rental returns.
Overall this is a compact, well-located flat that suits a first step on the ladder or a buy-to-let purchase: excellent local amenities, outstanding nearby schools, low local crime and fast broadband make it attractive, while modest updating and energy-efficiency work are realistic next steps for value uplift.
