This substantial 5-bedroom semi-detached house in Bishopston (approx. 2,229 ft²) is a clear redevelopment opportunity for investors, developers or an ambitious family. Set between Gloucester Road and Horfield Common, the property sits on a generous plot with a large rear garden and off-street parking for several vehicles—rare assets in this area. With double glazing and original solid-brick construction, the house provides a robust shell for a sensitive refurbishment or conversion, subject to planning consents.
The accommodation is dated and requires full renovation throughout: cosmetic and mechanical works, likely new insulation, and an upgrade from the current EPC G rating will be needed. There is only one bathroom in the current layout, and the property’s layout and size make conversion into two houses, multiple flats, or an HMO realistic options (all subject to planning). An attached garage and deep rear garden create scope to extend or reconfigure the footprint.
This lot sells at an online auction with an 8-week completion timetable. Interested buyers should factor in auction costs: a preliminary deposit is required to bid, and a buyer’s premium is payable on exchange. The location benefits from fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, nearby amenities on Gloucester Road, and a range of well-rated primary and secondary schools—making it attractive both for rental demand and future owner-occupiers.
In short: this is a high-potential, high-effort project. It will suit purchasers prepared to manage a full renovation or a planning-led conversion rather than those seeking a move-in-ready home.
