OUR VIEW: “The affordable price, especially given its lovely location on the edge of Bristol's famous Durdham Downs, ensures that interest levels in this ground floor apartment for the over-55s should be excellent. Situated in the more modern purpose-built section of the building, which was once home to the Vice Cnancellor of Bristol University, the flat, which is approached by a short flight of steps up from the communal hallway, has a double bedroom with wardrobes, a living room with dual aspect, a kitchen with a window, and a shower room. Communal facilities include a residents' lounge, a laundry room, a guest suite, an estate manager and a lovely walled communal garden. The development has gated parking, with this flat having one allocated space.” Martin G. Haigh
