Victorian bay-front end terrace with tall ceilings
Freehold tenure and very low council tax
West-facing enclosed rear garden and small front garden
Walkable to Eastville Park, shops and bus routes to city centre
Visible damp/mould at front; external repairs required
Solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation — retrofit needed
Small kitchen and single bathroom — update recommended
Medium flood risk and local area crime levels are high
This two-bedroom Victorian end-of-terrace on a quiet cul-de-sac in Eastville offers a compact, characterful starter home with easy access to Bristol city centre and nearby Eastville Park. The bay-front facade and tall ceilings retain period appeal, while an open-plan living/kitchen layout provides practical everyday space for first-time buyers.
The property includes a west-facing enclosed rear garden, front garden and on-trend double glazing (install date unknown). Heating is mains gas via boiler and radiators; the freehold tenure and very low council tax are clear financial positives. Local amenities, schools and public transport are all within walking distance, making daily life convenient.
Buyers should note several material issues: visible external damp/mould at the front, overgrown gardens needing attention, and areas of external repair. The solid brick walls likely lack cavity insulation, and the overall property will benefit from updating in parts—particularly the small kitchen and bathroom. There is medium flood risk for the area and crime levels are reported as high, both relevant for insurance and security considerations.
This home suits a first-time buyer comfortable with modest DIY or a light refurbishment budget who wants close-in city living and park access. With sensible investment to address decoration, damp and insulation, the house offers scope to improve comfort, reduce running costs and increase market value.
