An immaculately presented ground-floor apartment in Lower Meads, offering generous period proportions and a private south-westerly garden. The current owner has extensively improved the flat: there’s a refitted kitchen, double glazing, gas central heating and a spacious sitting/dining room that opens directly onto the garden. The large main bedroom with a bay window and the high ceilings preserve the building’s Victorian character while providing comfortable living space for downsizers or couples.
Practical benefits include a private garage, an off-road parking space and access to large communal gardens. Share of freehold tenure gives added ownership stability compared with typical leasehold flats. The property is newly renovated and ready to move into, reducing immediate maintenance or upgrade work for the new owner.
Notable considerations are factual: the neighbourhood records higher crime and some local deprivation indicators, and the wider area includes cosmopolitan student neighbourhoods which can bring varied daytime and evening activity. The building’s cavity walls are uninsulated (as built), so further insulation upgrades could improve comfort and running costs. Prospective buyers should also note this is a communal retirement-classified area, which may influence resident mix and building management.
Overall, this is a well-improved period ground-floor flat with private outdoor space, parking and a garage — a practical, characterful option for someone seeking comfortable, low-stairs living close to Westside shops, rail links and the seafront.
