LOCATION:
Situated close to the well-known Clifton landmarks of Christ Church and Brunel’s iconic Suspendion Bridge, this development is well placed for those who want to be independent but within easy reach of shops and the general hubbub of Clifton Village life. The building, a Grade 2 Listed church conversion, is mostly made up of flats for the over-sixties, which are sold at a preferential rate to ensure that everyone, not just the area’s landed gentry, can afford to live in this prestigious locality.

Tenure
Leasehold (lease expires in 2161), subject to an annual rent charge of £25 (Land Registry states that this figure may rise to £75 over time).
Service Charge
A service charge of £264.54 per month covers the costs of buildings insurance, water rates, any remedial works required to the building and its communal areas, communal electricity (including the lift), provision of a 24-hour emergency call system, the services of a visiting estate manager, use of the laundry, maintenance of the heating system, weekly cleaning of communal areas, external window cleaning, and replacement of doors and windows in the flat if needed.
