Description

The word 'unique' is often over-used in property descriptions, but it's totally justified to describe this amazing top-floor flat for the over 60's! Part of a development created in a converted church, it was designed by eminent Victorian architect, Charles Hansom, is spacious, two-bedded and with views across the rooftops of Bristol towards North Somerset. Flats in this building attract a 30% subsidy on their full market valuation, providing the opportunity to live in the heart of Clifton, at a truly affordable price.
