Summary - 45 MANSFIELD STREET BRISTOL BS3 5PS
3 bedrooms with flexible layout for office or nursery
Freehold mid-terraced Victorian property, c.1900–1929
Approximately 946 sq ft, open-plan ground floor living
Sunny, low-maintenance paved rear garden accessed by French doors
Double glazing fitted post-2002; mains gas boiler and radiators
Solid brick walls likely uninsulated — consider energy upgrades
Located in a deprived area with higher-than-average local crime rates
Single family bathroom; cosmetic modernisation could add value
This mid-terraced three-bedroom home on Mansfield Street offers a practical first step onto the Bristol property ladder. The ground floor opens into an open-plan living/dining space with original wooden floorboards, flowing to a kitchen and French doors that lead to a sunny, low-maintenance patio garden. Upstairs are two doubles and a smaller third room adaptable as a home office, nursery, or guest bedroom.
The house is freehold, double-glazed (fitted post-2002) and heated by a mains-gas boiler and radiators. At about 946 sq ft, the layout feels spacious for a terrace of its age and includes period features such as a front bay window and simple decorative detail that will appeal to buyers who value character. Transport links are strong: city centre and Temple Meads are walkable or a short drive, with regular local buses and nearby Parson Street station.
There are important practical considerations. Mansfield Street sits in a deprived, blue-collar pocket of Bedminster with higher-than-average crime; buyers should factor local safety and insurance implications into their decision. The property’s solid-brick walls are likely uninsulated (assumed), which may affect running costs and scope for energy-efficiency improvements. Cosmetic modernisation of the kitchen and bathroom would add value — the current bathroom has a shower over the bath and the kitchen is compact.
For a first-time buyer or investor seeking an affordable, characterful Bristol home, this house offers immediate liveability and straightforward potential to personalise and improve. It’s best suited to buyers comfortable with an urban neighbourhood where updating and targeted improvements will deliver future uplift.
