Description
Built in the early 19th century Portland Square is one of Bristol’s prettiest and most historic squares. Its centrally located making it really convenient for both work and leisure, being walking distance to Bristol City Centre, Cabot Circus shopping centre as well as Stokes Croft with its plethora of independent restaurants, shops and bars including Paco Taps, Canteen, Nadu and The Bristolian in Montpelier. Faro Bakery is a stone throw away and perfect for morning coffees and pastries on the weekend. The green spaces around the area, as well as the square itself are ideal for both exercising and socialising. Alongside all of this, this home is also well connected, being a few minutes’ walk from the city centre, a close drive to the M32 and beyond.
A truly impressive and meticulously styled two bedroom apartment in Portland Mansions, looking upon the square and offering a near eight metre long, open plan kitchen/living area. Tasteful but quality design has been at the forefront of the sellers renovation, which immediately catches your eye in the focal point of home, the living area. High ceilings, restored sash windows, engineered oak flooring, contemporary kitchen and rolling library ladder combine to create an enticing interior, rarely offered to market in the surrounding area. Entrance into the apartment is into a large hallway, and on the immediate left you are greeted by the primary bedroom suite, with near four metre high ceilings, light blue panelling behind the bedframe, large integrated wardrobes with the full height sash windows windows to match. A plush and marvellous en-suite bathroom greets you at the corner of the room, fully tiled, with a neutral and bold contrast, attributed by the walk in shower with gold taps and shower head. Adjacent to the en-suite is the main family bathroom suite, mirrored in style to the en-suite, presented in equally immaculate condition. A second double bedroom is found, before the walkway to the living area, mainly used an office, but offering adequate space for a relaxing family room, with double integrated wardrobes at the back of the room. Overall, a stunning spectacle which requires a physical viewing to appreciate its charm.

- Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
- Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
