Croft Cottage is a roomy period property arranged over two floors (c.1,827 sq ft) with original character and a large garage/workshop. Its south-facing garden and walled plot provide private outdoor space and scope for landscaping or external improvements. The house is sold freehold with vacant possession and an EPC rating of D.
The property requires basic updating throughout and offers straightforward potential for reconfiguration — the original entrance has been blocked and could be reinstated, and ground-floor alterations could create a downstairs bathroom to enable a third bedroom upstairs. The garage/workshop is substantial and may present development or rental opportunity subject to consents.
Important selling points to note: the lot is offered for sale by online auction (Wednesday 19th November 2025) with an extended eight-week completion. Buyers should allow for the auction buyer’s premium (£1,500 + VAT, £1,800 inc VAT) and check the legal pack for full title, services and restrictions. This property may suit investors seeking rental income or buyers happy to modernise a character home in South Bristol.
Drawbacks and practical considerations are clear: the property needs renovation, some floorplan reinstatement is likely, and purchasers must follow the auction timetable and deposit/registration procedures. The area records higher deprivation indices; check local services and the legal pack for detailed material information before bidding.
