Summary - 59, St. Nicholas Road, St. Pauls BS2 9JJ
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Vacant fixer-upper with planning potential near the city centre.
Freehold period mid-terrace, c.905 sq ft
A period mid-terrace offered freehold by online auction, this two-bedroom house (c.905 sq ft) is vacant and needs full modernisation. The layout of two reception rooms, kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom is typical of its era and provides straightforward refurbishment scope for either owner-occupiers or buy-to-let investors.
The property has planning potential — attic conversion and a rear extension are possible subject to consents — which could materially increase living space and rental value. A recent rental appraisal suggests achievable rents of around £1,700–£1,800 pcm once upgraded. Energy performance is mid-range (EPC D) and the walls are likely uninsulated, so improvement work will both raise comfort and reduce bills.
Important practical notes: this lot is sold at live online auction with an extended eight-week completion and a buyer’s premium of £1,800 (inc. VAT). The house is in an inner-city area with very high local crime and very high deprivation; buyers should factor location-related risks into valuations and insurance costs.
Overall this is a clear-value refurbishment or portfolio-add opportunity for buyers comfortable with auction purchase mechanics and short-term renovation. The freehold tenure, vacant possession and scope to extend make it suited to investors seeking rental income or owner-occupiers who will undertake improvement works.
