THE PROPERTY

A freehold detached property occupying a mature plot of circa 0.5 Acres with accommodation arranged over two floors ( 4085 Sq Ft ) but predominantly on the ground floor with the first floor having separate external access and also includes the car parking area to the rear that is outside of the fenced boundary.
The property is sold with vacant possession having been empty since spring 2019 and was previously occupied by the Brandon Trust for circa 15 years to house people with learning difficulties.

LOCATION

Cambridge Batch is within the popular village of Flax Bourton and is situated some five miles to the south west of the city, proving an extremely convenient position for the commuter. The village of Flax Bourton offers an active village community with a village hall, public house, church and well-tended cricket pitch and is extremely popular with families. Schooling is provided at the Flax Bourton Church of England Primary School which has recently received an outstanding rating from Ofsted, whilst the village is firmly in the catchment for the well-renowned Backwell Secondary School. There are a number of independent schools available locally including the Downs Preparatory School in nearby Wraxall and Fairfield School in Backwell. Within Bristol itself there are a number of highly regarded independent schools including Clifton College, Bristol Grammar and QEH. A number of recreational facilities are close at hand for those that enjoy walking, cycling or riding with miles of bridleways, public footpaths and acres of open countryside on the doorstep. There are several excellent Golf Courses nearby along with a David Lloyd Health & Leisure Centre situated within 4 miles in Long Ashton. Nailsea provides an excellent spot for your Waitrose or Tesco shop whilst Backwell and Long Ashton provide the more day-to-day conveniences. Access to the city centre along the A370 (Long Ashton bypass) proves to be an excellent link road. Cambridge Heights is within close proximity to children’s play park at nearby Farleigh Green and Festival Way cycle path providing a safe cycle way to Nailsea and central Bristol, whilst Nailsea/Backwell railway station is around 2.5 miles away. This station provides access to Bristol Temple Meads and onto London Paddington. Access to the motorway network at Junction 19 of the M5 motorway is within six miles whilst Bristol International Airport is situated approximately seven miles away

UNIQUE FAMILY HOME

PROFESSIONAL PLANNING APPRAISAL ( PPA )

DEVELOPMENT SUMMARY

“The site offers a number of potential development options to explore, given the residential character of the private cul-de-sac and the site’s connectivity to nearby settlements, including Long Ashton, Nailsea and Bristol.

Like the other four properties adjacent to the private road, permission could be sought for the conversion of Gilbert Scott House into a substantial single dwelling house, incorporating appearance upgrades and/or proportionate additions and alterations. Given the size of the existing building, permission could be alternatively sought for the conversion of the property into multiple dwellings, such as two houses or even apartments, although the relationship to the setting of the adjacent listed building (Coroner’s Court) will need careful consideration.

The site is categorised as previously developed “brownfield” land, and as such, there is a possibility of redevelopment as opposed to conversion. The existing building offers a significant building volume, which can be re-provided in the form of either a single large replacement building or carefully arranged as two separate smaller buildings.

EPC

For full details of the EPC please refer to the online legal pack.

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 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.

SURVEYS AND VALUATIONS

If you would like to arrange a survey or mortgage valuation of this Lot BEFORE the auction please instruct your appointed surveyor to contact Hollis Morgan and we will arrange access for them to inspect the property. Please note that buyers CANNOT attend the surveys and the surveyors are responsible for collecting and returning keys to the Hollis Morgan offices in Clifton.
