Description
Set back from the road, the flat is accessed via a paved approach beside a popular independent coffee shop. The communal areas are tidy and well maintained, with a staircase leading up to the flat on the third floor.
Inside, the hallway provides a welcoming entry point with space to hang coats and room for storage furniture to keep everyday items neatly organised. From here, a doorway opens into the open plan kitchen and living room. Wooden cabinetry and dark worktops provide ample kitchen storage as well as housing integrated appliances, while a window frames far-reaching views across Bristol. The layout offers space for both a lounge area and dining table, making the room practical and sociable.
The bedroom is well sized, featuring an attractive arched window that adds character. Soft carpet and neutral décor create a calm atmosphere. There is generous space for a double bed, storage furniture and a desk or dressing table. A useful cupboard off the bedroom presents the opportunity to create a walk-in wardrobe.
A modern bathroom completes the accommodation, fitted with a walk-in shower and cabinetry beneath the sink. Marble-style tiling and wooden flooring give the room a contemporary and polished feel.
Externally, a communal rear courtyard provides practical bike and bin storage.
St Michaels Hill is known for its independent shops, cafés and restaurants, and is just a short walk from the extensive amenities and cafe culture of Cotham Hill and Whiteladies Road. The property is exceptionally well placed for access to the City Centre and Bristol University.
