OUR VIEW: “The setting of this light and airy one-bedroom apartment is quite unique. Part of an elegant converted building that was once home to the Vice Chancellor of Bristol University, this flat is situated on the ground floor, in the corner, with a south-facing bay window that overlooks the gorgeous communal garden (as well as a door for direct access) and with all remaining windows having views straight onto Durdham Downs. The development is specifically for those who are at least 55 years of age and includes a residents' lounge and a communal laundry room.” Martin G. Haigh
