Garden Flat, Redland Grove

Garden flats in Redland are easy to get wrong. They can feel dark and a little forgotten at the bottom of someone else’s house. This one does not, because it sits to the side of the villa with its own entrance and a courtyard that the building does not overshadow.

Inside there are two bedrooms, a good bathroom and a sitting room that runs into the kitchen at the back. The owners kept the fireplaces and the cornicing when they refurbished, so it reads as a period home rather than a conversion. The courtyard is small but it is private and it faces west, which means coffee in the morning at the front and a glass of something at the back by six.

Whiteladies Road, the station and the green of Redland Green are all within a short walk. It comes with a share of the freehold and there is no onward chain.
