Set over three storeys in a busy city location, this red-brick terraced house offers clear rental and renovation potential close to Clifton and the harbourside. The property has three double bedrooms plus a fourth room suitable as an office or study, a through lounge, kitchen/dining area and a small outbuilding leading to a high-walled courtyard garden. Its size (about 1,024 sq ft) and proximity to universities and city amenities make it attractive for investors or those seeking a city-centre project.
The house requires renovation and modernization throughout; cosmetic and systems work will be needed to bring it up to modern standards. The vendor reports a new boiler was fitted in October 2022, however the published building data also lists electric room heaters as the main heating source — buyers should verify heating/fuel arrangements. Solid brick walls with internal insulation and original period features offer scope for sympathetic upgrades and value-adding improvements.
Important practical points: the property will be sold via Modern Method of Auction with a 56-day reservation period, a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% incl. VAT, min £6,000) and extra buyer charges for the information pack. On-street residents’ permit parking (zone CH) serves the house. Note local indicators such as very high crime and above-average council tax; these are material factors for both owner-occupiers and landlords to consider.
For investors, the location in a cosmopolitan student and professional neighbourhood and easy walking distance to Clifton village, Cabot Circus and harbour make lettings straightforward. For a buyer seeking a home, the layout and central location provide an opportunity to create a comfortable city residence once modernisation works are completed.
