Description

A first floor, lift-accessible, flat, that offers a bigger living room and a larger bedroom than most one-bedroom flats of this kind (ie those that are designed specifically for the over 55's), plus a separate kitchen (keeps the cooking smells at bay) and tremendous southerly views over the attractive walled garden and, in the wintertime when the leaves have fallen, the Downs beyond. Part of a grand converted house that was once the home of the Chancellor of Bristol University, the building includes a laundry and a residents' lounge, and the flat has an allocated gated parking space.

EXTERNAL:

Communal Garden

A beautiful south-facing walled garden.

Parking

1 allocated space; gated.

LOCATION:

Literally on the Downs, and in the winter months (when the trees in the lovely communal garden are bare) with views across, this development is well situated for walking, just for pleasure, or to the shops in North View, Waitrose, or the extensive amenities in Whiteladies Road.

GENERAL:

Tenure

Leasehold (unexpired portion of 99-year lease dated 16th March 1988).

Service Charge

We understand the service charge includes payment towards buildings insurance, general scheduled repairs and maintenance to the building and communal areas, common electricity, use of 24-hour emergency call system and a visiting estate manager. We are awaiting confirmation of the current amount, but believe it to be in the region of £500 per month.

Resale Charge

We understand from Anchor Hanover that although there is a clause in the lease relating to a percentage of the sale price being levied upon resale of the property, there is currently a transfer fee charged instead of £850 or thereabouts. We advise taking advice from your solicitor/conveyancer for clarification.

Council Tax Band

Band C (£2412.17 per annum 2026/27).
