Open-plan living room with contemporary kitchen, lots of natural light
Second-floor flat accessed by stairs only (no lift)

This compact one-bedroom apartment sits on the second floor of a converted Victorian building in the heart of St Pauls, a short walk from Portland Square, Cabot Circus and the Harbourside. Offered with a share of freehold and sold with no onward chain, the flat is ready for a first-time buyer or investor seeking central Bristol rental potential.
The accommodation includes an open-plan living room with contemporary kitchen, a generous double bedroom and a bathroom with a shower. The apartment benefits from double glazing (fitted post-2002), allocated bike storage, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — practical for city living and lettings.
There are notable practical considerations: the property is small at 383 sq ft and lies on the second floor (access via stairs only). Heating is by electric storage heaters and the building’s solid brick walls have no known cavity insulation, so buyers should expect potential heating and insulation improvements. The surrounding area is classified as very deprived and local crime levels are very high — important for owner-occupiers and investors to factor into security and insurance costs.
For those who prioritise location and chain-free convenience, this apartment offers a straightforward route into Bristol’s central market. Investors will note good transport links and strong local amenity provision; first-time buyers should budget for possible upgrade work to heating and insulation to improve comfort and running costs.
