This compact Victorian end-terrace offers two double bedrooms and period character in Fishponds, a popular area for young professionals and families. The living room’s original fireplace, tall ceilings and timber floors give immediate charm, while the open-plan kitchen/diner and small rear garden suit low-maintenance urban living.
Practical benefits include freehold tenure, mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, double glazing (install date unknown), fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for commuters and home workers. The property sits close to well-regarded primary and secondary schools, local cafés, the Bristol to Bath Cycle Path and easy access to the M32/M4.
Buyers should note material points: the house was built before 1900 with solid brick walls and no assumed cavity insulation, so some thermal improvements may be beneficial. The footprint narrows to the rear and the garden/plot is small. The wider area is classified as very deprived and local crime is average, which may influence some buyers’ priorities.
Overall this is a straightforward, well-located period home suited to a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor prepared to carry out modest updating or energy-efficiency upgrades. The property presents immediate charm with scope to improve value through targeted refurbishment.
