A substantial freehold period end‑of‑terrace arranged over four floors, 4 beds and multiple bathrooms, positioned in Kingsdown close to the university and city centre. The property offers period features, an enclosed walled rear garden and a large basement with clear scope for additional accommodation or income-enhancing conversion (subject to consents).
Historically used as a 4‑bed HMO for university tenants, the house is being sold at live online auction with vacant possession. This presents a quick acquisition route for investors seeking city‑fringe student lets or a landlord looking to refresh the letting mix. An independent rental appraisal is available in the legal pack to assist projections.
Notable practical points: the EPC is graded E and the walls are likely uninsulated (built c.1900–1929), so energy upgrades may be required to meet modern standards. Interested parties must check HMO licensing and planning with Bristol City Council before relying on prior HMO use. The sale includes an auction buyer’s premium (£1,800 inc VAT) and an extended completion target of eight weeks.
This is a clear opportunity for an investor or developer prepared to manage refurbishment and compliance work: the building’s footprint, basement and town location deliver flexibility, but budget for energy improvements, possible planning requirements and immediate buyer costs is essential.
