Description
This three-bedroom period cottage is set in Siston Common, with open green space nearby and access to the Bristol–Bath Cycle Path. The home is offered with no onward chain and has a living room, kitchen/dining room, three bedrooms and a family bathroom. Local amenities and the Bristol Ring Road are also within reach.
The ground floor includes a porch and a 20ft living room with exposed stonework, beamed ceiling and an inglenook fireplace fitted with a wood-burning stove. The adjoining kitchen/dining room is also around 20ft long and has exposed stone features, oak units, granite worktops, a breakfast bar and fitted oven and hob. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a spacious bathroom with a bath and shower over. Double glazing and gas central heating are stated.
There are gardens to the front and rear, with the rear described as ready for a new owner's plans, plus a front driveway providing off-street parking. The listing states that planning permission has been granted for a two-storey rear extension of 72sqm; the permission and its current status should be checked. The property combines period character with scope to personalise the outdoor space and investigate the stated extension opportunity.

Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
This is a well-presented period cottage with a distinctive exposed-stone living room, beams and a wood-burning stove, set in a peaceful semi-rural location with access to the Bristol–Bath Cycle Path. The rear garden is a clear canvas for landscaping, and the listing states that permission has been granted for a two-storey rear extension, subject to verifying the consent and feasibility.
The project numbers deserve scrutiny: once you include an estimated £5,500 of works on top of the asking price, spend approaches £455,500 — roughly 41% above what comparable floor area achieves locally in current condition. Hence the weak economics component — a proxy for today's market, not post-refurbishment GDV.
Key opportunities
- Landscape the largely bare rear garden to create a more usable and finished outdoor space.
- Make the most of the character features, including exposed stone, beams and the inglenook fireplace with wood-burning stove.
- Investigate the stated consent for a 72sqm two-storey rear extension, verifying its status and practical feasibility.
Key risks
- The asking price is high relative to the local £/sq ft benchmark, and even with only light works, the purchase price plus the refurb range looks stretched against the local floor-area benchmark.
