Spacious Victorian terrace with loft ensuite and sunny courtyard — great for families.
Three bedrooms plus loft conversion with ensuite
This deceptively spacious three-bedroom Victorian terraced house on Shaftesbury Avenue blends period character with practical family living. High ceilings, a front bay window and original details create an airy, welcoming feel across the ground and first floors, while a generous loft conversion provides a private top-floor bedroom with ensuite — ideal for a teenager or home office.
The kitchen/dining room opens via double doors onto a south-facing paved courtyard, offering a sunny, low-maintenance outdoor space for children and weekend entertaining. Practical features include a utility area, hardwood floors in the dining room, mains gas heating with a boiler and radiators, and fast broadband and excellent mobile signal for remote working and streaming.
Be clear about the local context: Montpelier is lively and well connected, with independent cafés, shops and quick links into the city centre and Montpelier station nearby. Schools such as Fairlawn Primary and Cotham School are within walking distance, making this a sensible commuter choice for families who value urban culture and local amenities.
Material drawbacks are factual and important: the property sits in a very deprived area with higher local crime levels, and parking is on-street only. The building’s stone walls are assumed to lack insulation, and double-glazing install dates are unknown — further insulation or energy-efficiency works may be needed. The rear garden is small and paved, suitable for seating rather than extensive play or landscaping.
