A bright, modern one-bedroom apartment in a purpose-built block completed in 2022, offered as 75% shared ownership. The open-plan living and kitchen space benefits from large windows and city-facing views, while a double bedroom and contemporary bathroom make this a ready-to-move-in home. The property is chain-free and has an average internal size (approx. 540 sq ft), making it an accessible option for first-time buyers aiming for city living.
Positioned on the edge of Bristol city centre, the flat sits moments from Castle Park, Cabot Circus and the harbourside. Local shops, cafes and strong transport links are all within easy reach, and broadband and mobile signal are described as fast and excellent. The flat uses a community heating scheme and is finished to a modern specification with integrated kitchen appliances and laminate flooring.
Buyers should note material factors: this is 75% shared ownership so a rent element applies (example monthly rent shown at £179.49) and total monthly charges (rent, service and management) are listed at around £247.13. The lease has approximately 117 years remaining. The wider area is classified as a multicultural student neighbourhood with very high recorded crime and high deprivation; these local factors may affect long-term resale and security perceptions.
Overall, the apartment offers a straightforward, affordable route into city living for a first-time buyer comfortable with shared ownership and an inner-city location. It suits someone prioritising modern finish, proximity to amenities and transport, and low immediate renovation need, while accepting the shared ownership model and local area challenges.
