This first-floor purpose-built flat is set in an extremely popular development for the over-60s, just a short stroll from Henleaze Road - with all of its shops, cafes and other facilities - plus Waitrose, the cinema, the library, the Downs, and with a doctors' surgery just across the road.The flat has been newly decorated and newly carpeted throughout (so recently, in fact, that our photos were taken before the new flooring had been vacuumed!), and is offered with no onward chain. The living room and kitchen both overlook the communal garden and the scout hut beyond, so enjoy a reasonably open outlook, and the two bedrooms look onto the large central courtyard where the residents sometimes hold coffee mornings (on fine days of course!). The flat has its own front door and stairs making this the ideal home for someone wanting the peace of mind of having an estate manager on site and a 24-hour emergency call system in place, but wishing to fully keep their sense of independence.

EXTERNAL:
The development has communal gardens to all sides, plus a central courtyard area, communal parking and space for bikes.

GENERAL:

Tenure
Leasehold (currently the unexpired portion of a 99-year lease dated 1996, but the vendors are organising the extension of this to a full 99 years).

Service Charge
We are seeking clarification, but we understand there to be a service charge of around £121 per month, which sum contributes towards the costs of buildings insurance, general repairs and maintenance of the building and its communal areas (including the gardens), the services of a resident estate manager, and use of a 24-hour emergency call system.

Resale Charge
Again we are seeking confirmation, but we understand that, as with many developments of this nature, there is a charge payable upon the resale of the property (sometimes referred to as an on-going contribution to the sinking fund), currently calculated as 0.5% of the price paid when purchased, multiplied by the number of years ownership.

Council Tax Band
Band C (£2.084.65 per annum 2023/24).

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on December 25, 2021

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on December 25, 2021

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services

    Energy Performance data and Internal floor area: obtained on February 11, 2022 from The Energy Performance of Buildings (Certificates and Inspections) (England and Wales) Regulations 2007 or the Home Report if in relation to a residential property in Scotland.
