@chrisbmx116 @konastab01 was chatting to the neighbours non-flue side and they were a really nice recently retired couple.
Also chatting to the guy over the road, who was a builder working on his own house. Spoke to him for about 30 mins about the whole thing. From speaking to both of them, the couple paid about 420 with the loft already done. And then spent loads doing more to it. So unfortunately I think it'll go close to asking price which would eat a lot of the do it up budget. Will keep my eye on it from a distance

Depending where in Bristol you want to live, but I'd also avoid that one. Partially because its a big project if inexperienced, as has been said. Partially as its pretty small for a house, and I'm not sure any amount of love will make that garden work. And partially as you can get more for your money elsewhere in Bristol. Worth following the train lines west and east and having a look around the stations.
Also, hanham Woods and the bridleways towards Bath are fun for MTB if you ever fancy a ride.

Have a look at St Jude's! Just across the m32. Same basic house stock as St Werbs but a good bit cheaper and closer to the town centre too.
I bought a year ago a 3 bed in much better condition than that one for 226k. (but still total refit reqd)
Edit. Actually looking at the ad again I'd say that one is only a bit worse :)

You could also get lucky... the damp may just be due to a bad window or a ventilation brick blocked up. The blown plaster is something you can bridge for a while (I have done same in my house).
The street is lovely and you can defo do something to disguise the view.
Also worth noting living on a building site is hell on earth, we never have the money to move out so live onsite during works, cooking and cleaning out of 1 bedroom and a gross bathroom wasn't much fun for 4 months.
