Victorian terraces are never going to be great for that, but noise from above is a lot more invasive than noise from the side (see bastard neighbors thread). I'm no expert but I believe building regs on this were improved sometime in the 90s? Whether individual build are compliant is probably a different question. My conversion was done in the 80s and was pretty shocking in that regard, although some of that was down to tenants behaviour/routine but the building didn't help isolate that.
Eastville: massive park, Tesco & IKEA, pretty good links in to town or out, less hip pubs/cafes. It might not be any cheaper though, I'm out of touch with the Bristol market since I moved away.
