This 3.16-acre freehold parcel off Ashdene Avenue offers a clear development entry in Eastville, Bristol, with residential planning historically granted for two further semi‑detached houses and potential for higher‑density redevelopment subject to consents. The site combines level buildable areas fronting the cul‑de‑sac with substantial woodland and elevated views towards Eastville Park and its lake — useful for schemes that trade amenity for unit value.
The planning position is mixed: a 1985 consent (Ref: 85/00009/M / PF2230) for five houses remains part‑implemented, and planning for two remaining dwellings (to become 17 & 19 Ashdene Avenue) is understood to be extant. No up‑to‑date drawings are held by the vendor; purchasers should factor in costs and time to obtain current approvals if pursuing the extant consent or applying for a higher‑density terraced scheme (7–13 units suggested, subject to planning).
Practical considerations are straightforward: the plot has multiple vehicular access points from Ashdene Avenue, is sold with vacant possession, and benefits from good broadband and road links to the M32 and central Bristol. Material negatives for buyers to note include an above‑average local crime score, the auction buyer’s premium (£1,800 inc VAT), and that detailed utilities, rights, and other constraints must be checked in the legal pack. The sale is by live online auction with an extended eight‑week completion requirement.
This is a clear opportunity for a small housebuilder or investor comfortable with auction purchase mechanics and pre‑purchase due diligence. Those seeking immediate permitted plans should confirm the extant status with the local planning authority and review the legal pack before bidding.
