Is it a Shed, or is it a Flat?

A tiny extension in the back garden of a Bristol house is going under the hammer.

The self-contained "studio" flat - which is the same size as two small parking spaces - is up for auction with a guide price of £30,000.

Hollis Morgan describe it as a "well designed and smartly presented, self contained studio" that's within walking distance of the Bristol City Centre.

The 'flat' was previously available to rent for £395 pcm, and despite having a floor area of just 18.6 square metres, has been divided into a bathroom, kitchen and a bedroom on a mezzanine level - accessible by ladder.

But anyone who wants to buy it will have to obtain planning permission to use it as a flat and there are absolutely no guarantees that this permission would be granted, so you could end up paying £30,000 for a glorified garden shed.

The property is situated within the heart of the vibrant Hotwells community with it's wide range of independent retailers, pubs, bars, cafes and restaurants. Bristol City Centre is within walking distance as well as the famous SS Great Britain.

Buying this property will enable you to lay claim to the smallest house in Bristol!
