A three-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace offering character, generous floor area and straightforward access to Bristol city centre. The house is freehold and arranged over two storeys with an entrance hall, living room, kitchen-diner, utility, bathroom and three first-floor bedrooms. Low-maintenance front and rear gardens and good public transport links make this a practical base for a first-time buyer.
The property has genuine renovation potential but is in unmodernised condition. The kitchen and some internal finishes are dated and will need replacement; the exterior shows peeling paint and the rooms are described as on the smaller side. Walls are solid brick with no known insulation upgrade, and the double glazing install date is unknown, so buyers should budget for thermal and cosmetic improvements.
Location is a strong selling point: walking distance to Eastville Park, several other green spaces, and quick routes to the M32 and Bristol centre. Local amenities and varied schools are nearby, though the neighbourhood has higher crime levels and the wider area shows signs of deprivation. Council tax is very low, which benefits running costs.
This home suits a first-time buyer or small family willing to invest modestly to modernise and improve energy performance. It offers a characterful shell with good transport and outdoor amenities, but all interested buyers should inspect for condition issues and consider renovation costs before committing.
