For Sale £120,000 - Flat
Set on the lift-serviced second-floor of this conveniently situated development of flats for the over-60s, and featuring open southerly views towards Central Bristol, this is an excellent one-bedroom purpose-built flat.
I get the distinct impression that there is a friendly community feel in this development of flats for the over-sixties, and certainly the location is fantastic with plenty of shops nearby along Whiteladies Road, the Downs not too far away, and a lovely communal garden at the back for all the residents to enjoy. This flat is situated on the second floor, with lift access and a pleasantly open and south-facing aspect and views towards Central Bristol. It has a double bedroom, a living room of good size, a kitchen which has a window, and a modern shower room.
