Description

SUMMARY
Three-bedroom Victorian terrace with bay-fronted lounge, separate dining room, downstairs bathroom, and enclosed rear garden, located close to North Street and Greville Smyth Park. Call now to arrange a viewing.


DESCRIPTION
A classic three-bedroom Victorian terrace on one of Bedminster’s most loved residential streets — full of character, well-proportioned rooms, and just moments from North Street’s buzz and Greville Smyth Park’s green space.



Set on Ruby Street, part of the popular ‘jewel roads’ cluster, this freehold home offers a great opportunity to make your mark in a vibrant, well-connected neighbourhood. Inside, the layout is true to its era: a bay-fronted lounge at the front, a separate dining room in the middle, and a kitchen at the rear. The bathroom is downstairs, accessed through the kitchen — a familiar setup for homes of this style.



Upstairs, you’ll find three well-sized bedrooms with plenty of natural light. The property would benefit from some cosmetic updating, but it’s a solid, well-built house with loads of potential to personalise and make your own.

Outside, there’s a private rear garden that’s easy to manage, and parking is available on the street. Ruby Street itself has a strong community feel, with friendly neighbours and regular street events — it’s the kind of place people stay for years.



You’re just a short walk from North Street’s independent cafés, shops, and restaurants — think Tobacco Factory, Southville Deli, and Albatross Café — and close to Greville Smyth Park, Parson Street station, and well-rated local schools like Ashton Gate Primary.
