LOCATION

Clifton and the surrounding areas, with its Victorian and Georgian architecture, are amongst the most sought after locations in the City. The area offers charm alongside excellent amenities with independent shops, boutiques, cafes, bars and restaurants to be found on both Whiteladies Road and Clifton Village including Clifton Down shopping Centre. The Downs offers four hundred acres of green public space whilst Brunel’s Clifton Suspension Bridge provides a gateway to the Ashton Court Estate with its woodlands, mountain bike trails and walks whilst there is excellent access to the exciting Harbourside district, the City Centre and Temple Meads. Clifton College and the Sports Centre are both within walking distance whilst Durdham Downs is just a few yards away over the pelican crossing.

THE OPPORTUNITY

CLIFTON HOME | BASIC UPDATING

Woodbine Cottage is a rare opportunity to acquire a modest size home in one of the most sought after locations in the region located at the top of Whiteladies Road and facing Durdham Downs. The property would now benefit from basic updating and to potentially rearrange the layout but has huge potential subject to any consents.

OFF STREET PARKING

Interested parties should note planning was previously granted and is currently pending to create off street parking in the front garden.

09/03501/H | Proposed part removal of front boundary wall and creation of off-street parking with associated drop kerbs.

DEVELOPMENT | NOTE PLANNING HISTORY

Given the prime location of the property interested parties should note planning was previously granted to add an additional storey and is pending to add 2 storeys in order to create a much larger dwelling.

02/03738/F | Creation of third storey above existing two-storey dwelling.
23/02241/F | Creation of two additional storeys of accommodation above existing two-storey building, conversion from house in multiple occupation (Use Class C4) to 1no. single dwelling house (Use Class C3), and creation of off-street parking with associated vehicular access.

IMPORTANT AUCTION INFORMATION

BUYER’S PREMIUM

Please be aware all purchasers are subject to a £1000 + VAT (£1,200 inc VAT) buyer's premium which is ALWAYS payable upon exchange of contracts whether the sale is concluded before, during or after the auction date.

GUIDE PRICE

An indication of the seller's current minimum acceptable price at auction. The guide price or range of guide prices is given to assist consumers in deciding whether to pursue a purchase. It is usual, but not always the case, that a provisional reserve range is agreed between the seller and the auctioneer at the start of marketing. As the reserve is not fixed at this stage and can be adjusted by the seller at any time up to the day of the auction in the light of interest shown during the marketing period, a guide price is issued. This guide price can be shown in the form of a minimum and maximum price range within which an acceptable sale price (reserve) would fall, or as a single price figure within 10% of which the minimum acceptable price (reserve) would fall. A guide price is different to a reserve price (see separate definition). Both the guide price and the reserve price can be subject to change up to and including the day of the auction.

RESERVE PRICE

The seller's minimum acceptable price at auction and the figure below which the auctioneer cannot sell. The reserve price is not disclosed and remains confidential between the seller and the auctioneer. Both the guide price and the reserve price can be subject to change up to and including the day of the auction.

REGISTRATION PROCESS

The registration process is extremely simple – visit the Hollis Morgan auction website and click on the “Register to Bid” button.
The “Register to Bid” button can be found on the auction home page or on the individual lot listings.
