A cottage that has remained within the ownership of the same Bristol family for almost a century is to be sold under the hammer next month (April).
The property, 144 Manor Road, Fishponds, is one of the lots at Besley Hill’s auction sale to be held at the Kendleshire Golf Club, Henfield Road, Coalpit Heath, on Thursday 22 April.
Open house viewing of the cottage, which has a pre-auction guide price of £140,000-£180,000, starts on Saturday 20 March from 10.00am to 11.00am.
“Properties of this style and unique quality are seldom available because they rarely come on to the market,” says Mark Symonds, senior branch manager of Besley Hill Estate Agents at Fishponds, who is organising the viewings.
Built in the 1800s, the end-terrace cottage retains some original character but is in need of refurbishment and modernisation.
The accommodation comprises entrance porch, lounge, dining room, kitchen, utility, cloakroom/store and two bedrooms, together with a bathroom accessed from bedroom two.
The extensive front and rear gardens stand within part-natural stone boundaries alongside a driveway and detached garage, offering potential for conversion and/or redevelopment (subject to the necessary building and planning approvals).
The rear garden extends approximately 130ft in length and also contains a natural stone barn divided to form two workshops.
The cottage occupies a position with walking distance of shops, services and a local training college as well as being well placed for access to the city centre and the motorway network via the M32.
Auctioneer Nigel Freston is expecting interest to be shown in this property by a wide range of prospective buyers, including garden lovers, DIY enthusiasts, builders, developers and contractors.
Meanwhile, he will be inviting bids for four properties at Besley Hill’s prior auction at the Kendleshire Golf Club on Thursday 18 March, starting at 7.00pm. They are: 4 Churchend Cottages, Churchend, Slimbridge, Glos, a brick-built terraced cottage (guide price £100,000+); 2-6 Mill Lane, Bedminster, a mixed commercial and residential investment comprising fully let ground floor shop and two flats (guide price £140,000-£160,000); Office Suite 4, Bowling Hill Business Park, Quarry Road, Chipping Sodbury, a modern open plan office suite ready for occupation (guide price £120,000-£140,000); and 43 Stoke Lane, Stoke Lodge, a semi-detached property with potential for improvement (guide price £130,000-£150,000).
