Battery Road, Portishead, BS20 7HP

Location The apartment enjoys an enviable position in Portishead, a thriving coastal town on the Severn Estuary and one of North Somerset's most sought-after places to live.

Everything the town has to offer is within comfortable reach, with the High Street, Marina and Lake Grounds all just a short stroll away.

Portishead Marina sits at the heart of the town, a smartly regenerated waterfront of berths and promenades with a genuinely excellent choice of independent waterside bars, cafés and restaurants, among them Aqua, Hall & Woodhouse and Bottelinos.

The Victorian High Street offers a characterful mix of independent shops, cafés and bars alongside familiar names, while the seafront Lake Grounds is a much-loved Victorian park with a boating lake, tennis courts, bowling green, children's playground and café, and a tree-lined promenade with sweeping views across the water towards Wales.

The town's open-air swimming pool is a further local landmark.

For day-to-day shopping, the town is well served by Waitrose beside the marina, along with Sainsbury's, Lidl, a Co-op and the Wyndham Way retail park.

Leisure is well catered for too, with the Parish Wharf Leisure Centre, a golf course, and miles of coastal and countryside walks close at hand.

Families are well placed, with a good choice of well-regarded schools, including Gordano School, the town's secondary, and a number of highly thought-of primary schools.

Transport links are a real strength, and set to improve further.

The M5 (Junction 19) is a short drive via the A369, giving fast access to Bristol, the wider motorway network and Bristol Airport, while regular bus services run into Bristol city centre and Temple Meads.

Most significantly, the Portishead to Bristol railway line is being reinstated, with a brand new station in Portishead currently expected to open in 2028.

Once running, it will provide an hourly direct service into Bristol Temple Meads in around 25 minutes, along one of the country's most scenic stretches of line, beneath the Clifton Suspension Bridge and through the Avon Gorge.

It promises to be a genuine game-changer for the town, and for connectivity from this home in particular.

For sale: Share of freehold The property is offered for sale with a share of the freehold and the benefit of no onward chain.

It is held on a 999-year lease granted in July 2004, with approximately 977 years remaining, offering long-term security and peace of mind.

A rare and beautifully presented three-bedroom ground-floor apartment, extending to over 1,100 sq ft.

Apartments of this size and position are seldom found in Portishead, which makes this a genuinely special opportunity.

Set on the ground floor with near-level access throughout, bar two small steps at the front entrance, it will appeal to a wide range of buyers, and particularly to those looking to move closer to the High Street without compromising on space.

A welcoming entrance hall, complete with a handy storage cupboard, opens into a large and versatile reception area that could serve any number of purposes, from a formal sitting room to a snug, study or playroom.

The living room is a lovely, characterful space with a fireplace as its focal point and double glazed doors opening into a conservatory, which enjoys a pleasant outlook over the rear of the building.

At the heart of the home is an 18'10 kitchen/breakfast room, a wonderful space for those who enjoy cooking and entertaining, fitted with a range of integrated appliances and ample room for casual dining.

There are three well-proportioned double bedrooms, two with fitted wardrobes, while the principal bedroom benefits from a modern en-suite shower room.

A family bathroom, positioned off the hallway, serves the remaining bedrooms.

Extending to over 1,100 sq ft, the apartment offers wrap-around access throughout, giving the home a natural and effortless flow that has to be seen to be appreciated.

Outside Externally, there is useful shared storage within a garage set between the apartments.

Parking and garden space The apartment benefits from two allocated parking spaces, one directly adjacent to the front door and the other to the rear of the building, a valuable asset in this location.

There is no private garden, although the conservatory provides a bright, garden-facing space with a pleasant outlook over the rear and the flat is located within walking distance of several parks and the water front.
