Description

This freehold detached property, a former police station established in 1836, presents a remarkable opportunity for renovation and development. Spanning approximately 4,908 sq ft over two floors, the building features flexible living or commercial spaces along with a small basement and an enclosed courtyard garden. Having served as both a police station and most recently as offices for the Avon Wildlife Trust until mid-2022, the property is now in need of modernisation. Its local listing status offers an intriguing chance to maintain its historical character while transforming it into a distinctive family home or residential development, subject to the necessary planning consents. Nestled in the conservation area near Brandon Hill Park, this property benefits from both seclusion and proximity to vibrant local amenities, making it highly desirable for future occupants. The flexible layout opens up potential avenues for creating unique living spaces or commercial opportunities. The vacancy of the property also allows for immediate possession post-purchase. This is an ideal project for investors or homeowners looking to create something truly special within one of Bristol's most sought-after locations.
