This substantial three-bedroom period semi-detached house in Brislington offers a clear renovation opportunity for an experienced buyer or investor. The property is large (approx. 1,430 sq ft) with two generous reception rooms, three double bedrooms and a sizable plot including a garage, lean-to and off-street parking. Original Victorian/Georgian features survive — high ceilings, ornate cornicing and a grand entrance hall — giving strong scope to restore character and add value.
The house requires complete renovation: boarded windows, visible damp and plaster damage in the living room, and general modernisation throughout. It is Listed, which will affect what works are permitted and may complicate planning and repair costs. Council tax is in a high band and the surrounding area is recorded as very deprived with a higher-than-average crime rate; these local factors will influence rental demand and resale positioning.
This property is being sold by the Modern Method of Auction and carries buyer costs (a non‑refundable reservation fee of 4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600, plus a Buyer Information Pack fee). Buyers should factor professional surveys, listed-building consents, and full refurbishment budgets into their calculations before bidding. For a purchaser with renovation experience and the right permissions, the house presents strong potential to deliver significant uplift given its size, period features and convenient location near parks, schools and transport links.
