Ducrow Court, St Pauls

“I have lived in this property for 3 years, we have good community and we speak to each other a lot. Most people who live here are professional working around city centre or BRI. Livewest is a really good housing association, they repair any faults within 24 hours. Apart from any plumbing and electric issues in the house they look after all other major issues. Rent is really low on other half of the property.

If I had the money I would definitely keep this flat as it’s a great location as there are loads of restaurants and bars around. The area has seen increase in demand due to the location and I’m sure it will keep improving in the future. Never had any issues from people living in the flat”

Ducrow Court is positioned at the western end of City Road, close to the popular and vibrant Stokes Croft area, home to a diversity of independent cafes, restaurants and shops, as well as several office and work spaces for Bristol-based companies. Independents such as Jamaica Street Stores, Caribbean Croft and The Canteen are just minutes away and several yearly events and festivals such as St Pauls Carnival also happen in this area, drawing big crowds and giving the area its bustling reputation. The area has undergone a lot of development in recent years with great investment into high quality residential and commercial conversions and constructions such as Portland Square. Available to residents of this area is the proximity to Bristol City Centre but also the sense of community of the local neighbourhood and the nearby independent shops and restaurants of Cheltenham Road and Picton Street in Montpelier. Beyond Cabot's Circus, Bristol Temple Meads is within a fifteen-minutes’ walk, as is the popular area of Bristol's Harbourside and the industry and employment centred here. A multitude of greenspaces are close by with Portland Square offering a Georgian public garden and the beautiful Castle Park that is on the bank of the Avon. This flat is well positioned for those who frequently drive out of the city, with the nearby M32 linking directly to the M4 and M5.

Placed in Stokes Croft is this well-proportioned two bedroom flat. Situated on the first floor, there is easy access to this shared-ownership apartment. 50% ownership is offered, with the current vendor paying between £80-£100 per month to the housing association making this such a sought after property. The share of this flat you would be buying is £135,000. The kitchen-living space is substantial, offering a perfect blend of social and relaxing space. The kitchen lines the back of the room, with a great amount of cupboard space, integrated fridge freezer and oven, alongside plentiful countertop area. The living room leads through to the private balcony, ideal for a summer evening. Both bedrooms are doubles, making this flat good for those looking to rent a room out. Ducrow Court is ideally placed for those commuting into the city centre on foot, with several major employers nearby as well as lots of venues for eating and socialising. For those who require regular access out of the city centre, the M32 is just nearby and Bristol Temple Mead Station is just a short walk away.
