Summary - SEA MILLS METHODIST CHURCH, SHIREHAMPTON ROAD BS9 2DY
1 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Chain-free ground-floor retirement apartment with communal gardens and strong resident support.
One-bedroom ground-floor retirement flat with own entrance and garden views
A rare ground-floor retirement apartment set within a converted period church in Sea Mills, offered chain free and reserved for the over-60s. The flat has a spacious double bedroom, open-plan lounge/diner with garden views and a compact fitted kitchen with integrated appliances — a practical, ready-to-live-in home for independent retirees.
Residents benefit from a strong communal offer: attractive shared gardens, lounge, guest room (subject to availability), lift access, regular social activities and a pull-cord emergency call system included in the maintenance charge. A part-time on-site housing manager provides local support and the development is close to Sea Mills station, bus links, shops and green spaces including Sea Mills Park and Blaise Estate.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold property with approximately 106 years remaining (original 125-year lease from 2006). Current running costs include a service charge of about £2,999–£3,199 per year (£266.66 pcm shown) and an annual ground rent of £349.49. Heating runs on electric storage heaters and the property’s main fuel is electricity, which can be more expensive than gas heating.
The wider area has good digital connectivity and fast broadband, but local indicators show higher-than-average crime and area deprivation. The apartment is well-presented and low-maintenance, making it suited to someone prioritising communal support, ground-floor convenience and proximity to local amenities — while accepting the ongoing service charges and electric heating costs.
