Time capsule Bristol house goes on the market for the first time in 66 years

A Bedminster house owned by the same family for 66 years has gone on the market. The three-bedroom terrace property is being sold by the son of the owners who bought it in 1956 - the year of the Suez Crisis and when Elvis Presley released his single Heartbreak Hotel.

The red-brick Victorian house in the sought after Chessels area also has three reception rooms, kitchen, a downstairs bathroom and enclosed rear garden. The estate agents handling the sale of the house on Ashfield Road say it’s ‘rare’ to find properties of this nature with no onward chain and there has already been huge interest in the house, which is being marketed with a price of ‘offers in excess of’ £375,000.

Property agents Hunters say the ‘desirable double bay’ house is need of renovation but that it is ‘sure to prove ideal for anyone looking to put their stamp on a property sitting just a 0.2 mile walk to North Street’. They add that there is potential to extend both in to the loft and the ground floor, subject to the necessary permissions.
