A charming cottage in Bishopsworth is set to go under the hammer at auction. The two bedroom detached property in the Bristol suburb, known as Croft Cottage, is hidden from view from Highridge Road behind a stone wall and large garage.
The cottage, which is in need of “basic updating” according to auctioneer Hollis Morgan, is set over two floors. Downstairs contains a galley kitchen and a dining room, along with reception spaces, while the upstairs floor is home to two double bedrooms and a good size family bathroom.
Auctioneer Andrew Morgan MBE said the cottage is the perfect place to settle in to ahead of the winter months, and beyond. “With the winter approaching a cosy home is especially appealing but Croft cottage is not just for snug nights in front the fire as with its good size enclosed garden and extensive conservatory this is a property which can be truly enjoyed throughout the year.”
In the last year, homes on Highridge Road have sold for an average of £320,000, according to RightMove. The cottage’s relatively low guide price was a reflection of the need for the lucky buyer to do a bit of work on the property, Mr Morgan said.

“This property has the potential to be altered to suit ones needs and create a lovely family home and with a modest guide price of just £250,000 this is indeed a cottage with a very promising future.”

The cottage is located less than five miles from Bristol Airport. Nearby amenities include Hengrove Park leisure centre and Imperial Park shopping centre.
“As the address reveals, this is located on high ground within a short run to the centre of Bristol and should the new owner ever wish to escape this idyllic gem for a few weeks there is a fast route to the airport,” Mr Morgan said.
A live online auction for the property will take place on October 15 at 5.30pm. The deadline to register is 4pm on October 13. Registrations can be made on the Hollis Morgan website.
