Chain-free Victorian terraced house — large footprint, HMO history, needs modernisation.
Established six-bedroom HMO history and student tenancy use
A substantial Victorian mid-terrace in Bishopston with an established history as a six-bedroom student HMO, sold chain-free and offered freehold. The property has a large overall footprint (approx. 1,291 sq ft) with a bay-fronted reception, extended kitchen/diner, and a loft room — giving flexibility for continued HMO use or conversion back to a family layout.
The house sits a short walk from St Andrew’s Park and Gloucester Road’s cafes, shops and transport links, making it appealing to students, young professionals and families. EPC D and Council Tax band C; mains gas boiler and radiators are in place. The solid brick walls suggest original character but likely limited insulation.
The property needs modernisation and cosmetic updating throughout; buyers should expect renovation works to kitchens, bathroom and internal finishes. There is also potential to increase value by reconfiguring the current layout, improving energy efficiency, and upgrading services. Small rear garden and on-street parking are typical of the area.
This is a clear option for investors seeking an immediate rental story in a popular student/professional neighbourhood, or for family buyers wanting a roomy period home to refurbish to modern standards. Important facts: sold with no onward chain, Freehold tenure, and there is no flood risk.
