A large three-bedroom semi-detached period house offering clear add-value potential in a well-connected BS5 location. The property retains character details—stained glass, picture rails and bay windows—set across two reception rooms and a conservatory that opens onto a substantial rear garden and garage with lane access. Chain free and sold freehold, it suits a buyer prepared to renovate and uplift value.
This is a major refurbishment opportunity rather than a move-in-ready home. The house requires a new kitchen, bathroom, heating, windows and a full electrical re-wire. There are visible cracks upstairs that will need structural inspection and repair; lenders may request a large deposit or specialist mortgage until remedial works are completed.
Externally the plot is valuable: a huge rear garden and wide rear lane with garage offer scope for off-street parking, garden landscaping or extension subject to permissions. The conservatory and garage are in poor condition and need rebuilding or replacement. Despite neglect, the property’s period bones and location—between good local schools and near Eastville/St Werburghs amenities—support a projected end value after works.
Ideal buyers are investors or hands-on owner-occupiers aiming to add significant value. Purchase offers a realistic refurbishment route to a family home in a popular Bristol neighbourhood, but factor in repair costs, possible structural works and interim financing before committing.
