@lemonade ah amazing! I moved to Bristol in September, live near Ashley stores atm on Albany Road. I think St Werbs is an ace are from what I have seen so far. Easy ride to work out in Filton, not Clifton/Redland prices, good pubs and amenities. Not a new build kind of person though the Dye Works development looks interesting.
HMU if you ever want to go for a road or mtb ride :)

By the way, you probably want to factor in at least 15k above asking price to get any house in Bristol at the moment. I'm looking in St George area, and all the victorian terraces are going for 15-20k above asking. Probably more in St Werbs
EDIT: as a FTB, potentially worth waiting until you know what's happening with stamp duty? You don't benefit (much) from the current holiday, but it's definitely causing a huge price inflation at the moment.

I am not doing much bike riding at the moment but cheers anyway - assume you've discovered purdown and Ashton court / Leigh woods for MTB?
A friend is getting a place in the Dye Works and it does look good as these things go but I'm not a new build kind of person either. The way they are meant to be extending Mina road park as part of that development looks positive, though.
I'm biased but I think the bit of st Werburghs on the other side of the railway tunnel is even nicer. Another possibility to look at would be Ashley Down - Station Road and thereabouts. You're only a few minutes from St Werburghs on Concorde Way and closer to Gloucester Road. They are also supposedly building a new railway station on station road, but I'd be surprised if it actually happens any time soon.
Also may be of interest that the council is consulting on further walking/cycling improvements on Mina road, this time near the shops. Potentially promising but it's at a very early stage.
You may know this all already given you only live around the corner...
Also its not a conservation area:

I live in St Werburghs and it is a fantastic area, let me know if you have any questions.
For me, I would be concerned that the nicer done up one is a bit close to the motorway.
