This end-of-terrace townhouse, nestled at the head of Bristol’s first Georgian terrace, represents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. Built initially in 1763 and completed in 1812, this Grade II listed property offers historical significance and is rich with potential. With its architectural roots in the Palladian style, it reflects a time when the nearby Hot Wells spa attracted society's elite.
The house spans three floors, showcasing original features such as 'powdering closets'—once used for preparing wigs—and servants' quarters. The layout includes multiple bedrooms and adaptable spaces that could comfortably accommodate between four to seven bedrooms, alongside several reception rooms. The inclusion of a basement and a mezzanine level adds further flexibility to the design.
Historically, this property may have served as one of Bristol's first Houses of Multiple Occupation (HMOs). Today, it requires a comprehensive refurbishment but offers various possibilities: it could be transformed back into a grand family residence or divided into flats. Alternatively, with the appropriate planning permissions and licenses, it has the potential to operate as an HMO featuring up to six ensuite bedrooms.
Located in Cliftonwood, this area boasts attractive amenities including local shops, cafes, bars, and parks. It also provides stunning views over the Avon Gorge and easy access to Bristol City Centre via Hotwell Road. Public transport options are accessible nearby, making commuting convenient.
As an investment property requiring significant work, it presents an exceptional chance for those looking to make their mark on a historic home while contributing to its restoration. The property is offered with three separate freehold titles plus an area under possessory title; interested buyers should consult the legal pack for detailed information regarding ownership.
Utilities are connected here—water, drainage, electricity, gas—making initial renovations more straightforward. However, prospective buyers must assess their needs regarding services before bidding.
In summary, this townhouse not only stands as a piece of Bristol's history but also opens doors to numerous renovation opportunities in a desirable location.
