Summary - 42, Washington Avenue, BRISTOL BS5 6BU
2 bed 2 bath Terraced
Characterful project near East Bristol amenities and cycle routes.
Victorian mid-terrace with period features and bay window
A characterful Victorian mid-terrace offering two bedrooms and clear scope for value-adding refurbishment. The house retains period features — bay window, ceiling rose and fireplace — that will appeal to buyers who want original detail and the chance to personalise every room.
Practical positives include double glazing, mains gas heating with boiler and radiators, freehold tenure and a small rear garden with mature trees offering privacy. The property is well connected to central Bristol, local independent shops, cafes and the Bristol to Bath Cycle Path, and sits close to several well-regarded primary and secondary schools.
Important drawbacks are honest and material: the house needs renovation throughout, with dated fixtures and worn finishes; the solid brick walls likely lack cavity insulation; and the plot and rooms are modest in size. The wider area scores as relatively deprived, and the property will suit buyers prepared to manage refurb costs and ongoing maintenance.
This is a straightforward purchase for a first-time buyer willing to take on a project, or an investor seeking a refurbishment opportunity in East Bristol. With work, the home can be modernised while keeping its Victorian character and strong rental or resale appeal.
