We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
An incredibly rare opportunity to acquire a ground floor retirement apartment (for the over 55s) within the highly regarded Fallodon Court development in the heart of Henleaze, further benefiting from a lease renewed in 2017.
Ground floor apartments within the development seldom come to market and this particular property enjoys the added advantage of direct access onto the attractive communal gardens via patio doors, leading onto a private patio area.
The accommodation is well balanced and accessed via a welcoming entrance hall with useful storage.
The living / dining room is a generous and bright space, enjoying pleasant views over the communal gardens and providing ample room for both seating and dining furniture.
A separate fitted kitchen offers a practical layout with good worktop and cupboard space.
There are two well-proportioned bedrooms, both positioned quietly within the apartment, alongside a modern shower room.
The property further benefits from UPVC double glazing throughout, helping to create a bright and energy-efficient living environment.
Externally, Fallodon Court is set within beautifully maintained communal gardens, providing a peaceful outdoor setting to enjoy.
There is also ample communal parking available for both residents and visitors, together with the reassurance of an on-site Resident Estate Manager.
Offered to the market with no onward chain, this represents a rare opportunity to secure a ground floor apartment within one of North Bristol’s most desirable retirement developments.
