This chain-free, freehold one-bedroom flat offers an affordable entry into BS15 with practical extras that first-time buyers value. The accommodation includes a separate kitchen, living room and a large multi-tiered garden — rare for a one-bed — plus off-street parking and gas central heating.
The flat is well located for local schools, shops and the A4174 ring road, with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband for home working. Windows are double glazed and the heating is a gas boiler with radiators, keeping running costs reasonable; council tax is very cheap.
Expect some cosmetic and thermal-improvement work: the property shows dated finishes and will benefit from redecoration and modernisation. The cavity walls are assumed to have no insulation, so consider upgrading insulation to improve comfort and energy bills. Room sizes are modest, suitable for a single occupant or couple rather than those needing generous living space.
Overall this is a straightforward, low-risk purchase for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a manageable project with strong practical advantages — private parking, garden and no onward chain — balanced by modest refurbishment and energy-efficiency upgrades.
