THE PROPERTY
The site comprises a parcel of land measuring approximately 0.67 acres that is currently used as a working garage / MOT station with additional commercial and storage yards. The MOT station comprises 2 single storey buildings arranged in an L-shape providing workshop and office accommodation. The remaining yard space has been sub-divided and is currently rented to separate tenants.
It was purchased by William Walter Churches ( known locally as Wally!} in the early 1960's...he was a well known 'jack of all trades!' The site has been used as a coal yard and haulage business and subsequently various sections were sub let to tenants.
The property is accessed via a lane from Whitchurch Road but we understand the deeds also contain a right of way document as he used the right of way from his home in Headley Road at the rear.
LOCATION
The site is situated to the rear of numbers 33-37 Whitchurch Road with access currently being provided by a lane to the right of number 53 Whitchurch Road. The site is bordered to the East by the Malago river and adjoins a lane to the North West which provides access to the garages at the rear of numbers 14-30 Headley Road.
THE OPPORTUNITY
HIGH YIELDING COMMERCIAL INVESTMENT OR DEVELOPMENT SITE SUBJECT TO CONSENTS
Opportunity to purchase a parcel of land measuring approximately 0.67 acres, situated to the rear of a rank of houses on Whitchurch Road and bordered to the East by The Malago river.
The site is currently used as a commercial yard and MOT station but offers potential for a variety of different uses, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents.
There may also be potential for residential redevelopment and the current owners have submitted a pre-application enquiry to Bristol City Council with a view to redeveloping the site to provide 9 houses. A full copy of the feedback from the Council is available upon request but the main issues raised are the existing access to the site and the potential loss of employment – please refer to legal pack
Potential to develop further commercial units subject to consents.

BUYER'S PREMIUM
Please be aware all purchasers are subject to a £750 + 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 or not 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.
