Cosy and sunny, with a south-facing living room and double bedroom, a larger than average custom-fitted kitchen (which has an opening window) and a bathroom, this lower ground floor apartment will appeal to those over-55s who still relish independent living. Clifton Village, with its array of shops, cafes, restaurants and boutiques, is within walking distance, as is Brunel's iconic Clifton Suspension Bridge and the open space of Clifton Down. The flat is very nicely presented and has access to a courtyard (which, because of its location in relation to this flat and the rest of the development, does not tend to be frequented by other residents). The development includes a residents' lounge with stunning views, a laundry room, a guest suite, an estate manager, a 24-hour emergency call system, attractive gardens and a parking area.

EXTERNAL:

Courtyard
Not actually private to the flat but certainly feels like it; a very pleasant place to sit, especially on a sunny day.

COMMUNAL:

Inside
The development has a lift to all floors, a guest suite, a very elegant residents' lounge (with delightful south-facing views across Bristol), a laundry room (no extra charge for its use), a 24-hour emergency call system and a visiting estate manager. The residents can, and do, form social groups (music, scrabble, cards etc) for those who are interested, but those who want to lead an entirely independent life are free to do so.

Outside
There is a lovely communal garden to the rear of the building and an adjoining tarmac parking area, which is accessed via Oxford Place, a little turning off neighbouring Princess Victoria Street.

GENERAL:

Tenure
Leasehold (unexpired portion of 999-year lease dated 1978).

Service Charge
Understood to currently be £426.71 per month, which includes payment towards buildings insurance, general repairs and maintenance of the building and its communal areas, maintenance of the lift, electricity to common parts, provision of a visiting estate manager and a 24-hour emergency call system, and central heating and hot water supplied to the flat.

Resale Charge
The lease contains specific arrangements for the re-sale of apartments. Re-sales are conducted on the seller's behalf by the freeholder, Retirement Properties Limited. The arrangements for the fees and costs which apply to this process have been amended by voluntary agreement with the Competiton and Markets Authority. The sellers will be responsible for the fees of estate agents, solicitors and any other costs such as for an EPC, and in addition a fee, calculated at 4% of the lower of the sale price or the seller's original purchase price, is payable to the freeholder.

Council Tax Band
Band A (£1,722.60 per annum 2025/26).
