Summary - 478a Fishponds Road BS16 3DU
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Characterful one-bedroom garden flat with high ceilings and long lease, near Fishponds high street.
Victorian ground-floor garden flat with private rear garden
Set within a Victorian terrace on Fishponds Road, this ground-floor garden flat offers generous principal rooms, high ceilings and direct private outdoor space — rare for a one-bedroom. The lounge features a sash bay with stained glass and the kitchen/diner opens to a sizeable enclosed rear garden with pedestrian rear access. Modern fittings include a four-piece bathroom and gas central heating; double glazing is present though install date is unknown.
This property suits a first-time buyer seeking character and outdoor space or an investor after a lettable one-bedroom near frequent bus routes into Bristol city centre. Room sizes are comfortable for the type (approx. 593 sq ft) and the very long lease (965 years) reduces typical leasehold complications. Council tax is very low and broadband and mobile signal are strong.
Important negatives are factual and material: the neighbourhood records higher crime and the wider area is relatively deprived, which may affect resale and rental demand. The building is pre-1900 solid brick with assumed no wall insulation; some areas are described as dated and may require cosmetic updating or energy-efficiency improvements. Communal access and ground-floor position mean limited privacy at the front.
Overall, this is a characterful, well-sized garden flat with clear scope to personalise and improve energy performance. Buyers should weigh the strong transport links and private garden against local area indicators and potential retrofit costs.
