Description
Dating from around the 1850s, this one-bedroom cottage in Oldland Common is offered at auction and presents scope for modernisation. The ground floor has a sitting and dining room, with a separate kitchen at the rear and access towards the garden. Upstairs are a double bedroom and a bathroom. The property is arranged over two floors and has a south-easterly-facing garden, together with two outbuildings that could provide storage or workshop space. The listing also notes possible office use for an outbuilding, subject to planning permission and other necessary consents.
Local shops and everyday services are nearby, with further shopping and leisure facilities at Longwell Green Retail Park. The Bristol and Bath Railway Path and surrounding green spaces offer walking and cycling routes. Road and public transport links provide access towards Bristol and Bath. The sale is by conditional auction, with a non-refundable reservation fee payable by the successful bidder; buyers should review the auction terms and fees before bidding.

Grade CPotential opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £150,000, this cottage is priced well below the local average per square foot, giving buyers a strong entry point for a project. The 1850s stone-fronted home appears broadly usable, with no obvious major roof failure in the available views, while its dated finishes offer scope to modernise the kitchen and bathroom, refresh the living spaces and improve the south-easterly garden. The two outbuildings add useful storage or workshop potential, subject to inspection and any required consents.
The works are moderate rather than a full rebuild, but the £30,000–£55,000 renovation range means the numbers still need careful budgeting: the midpoint purchase-plus-renovation figure is close to the implied local average value, before fees and other costs. The rear garden and outbuilding area need attention, and the outbuildings’ condition and suitability should be checked.
Key opportunities
- Modernise the dated kitchen and bathroom to update the cottage’s main functional spaces.
- Refresh the panelling, patterned flooring and other dated finishes while retaining the character of the stone-fronted cottage.
- Clear and improve the enclosed garden, and assess the two outbuildings for practical storage or workshop use.
Key risks
- The rear garden and outbuilding area are untidy and partly unfinished; inspect the outbuildings’ condition and likely making-good requirements.
