Description

This two-bedroom terraced home presents a rare opportunity for renovation, located on the desirable Seymour Avenue. Known historically as the residence of Archie Leach (more famously known as Cary Grant) from 1911 to 1915, this property holds both character and potential. Upon entering, you'll find a spacious layout featuring two well-proportioned reception rooms that provide versatility for various living arrangements or design preferences. The kitchen connects to a utility room with an additional WC, adding practical convenience to the ground floor. Ascending to the first floor reveals two ample double bedrooms and a generously sized bathroom, complete with a separate shower cubicle. The stairs continue to a loft space that has served various functions over the years; it boasts good head height and offers significant storage in the eaves. The exterior features a private rear garden that benefits from a south-westerly aspect, giving it an inviting atmosphere and reasonable privacy due to its orientation alongside neighboring properties. In terms of location, Seymour Avenue is ideally set just moments away from Gloucester Road, known for its vibrant array of independent cafes, shops, and essential amenities. The area is also well-connected via public transport to the city center. For those who appreciate outdoor spaces, nearby St Andrews Park and Bristol Harbourside provide excellent opportunities for recreation and leisure. With some cosmetic updates, this property has considerable investment potential in a sought-after community. This could be an ideal choice for someone looking to create their own space in an area that balances residential comfort with urban convenience.
