A rare opportunity has arisen to own a picturesque piece of South Gloucestershire countryside, just eight miles from Bristol. This 0.65-acre riverside plot, nestled beside the serene River Frome near the village of Frampton Cottrell, lies in the locally cherished Black Rocks area.
The land is graced with a variety of fruit trees including cherry, plum, and apple, and benefits from direct river access. With plentiful space for camping and outdoor activities, it presents an ideal retreat for nature lovers looking to unwind in a tranquil rural setting.
Offered through auction house Hollis Morgan with a guide price of £10,000, this slice of green paradise comes complete with riparian rights. This grants the owner access to the waterway and opportunities for fishing, subject to appropriate licensing.
Andrew Morgan MBE, director at Hollis Morgan, predicts strong interest in the plot. “Green spaces have become increasingly sought after in this era of urban expansion. I expect this lot to attract lively bidding,” he said.
Beyond the riverside, the land features a blend of rich woodland and meadow, providing a versatile canvas for various uses. Whether envisioned as a weekend camping getaway, a smallholding, or simply a peaceful refuge by the water, the possibilities are wide-ranging.
Morgan poetically described the property as “a rural idyll complete with grassy meadows, woodlands, fruit trees, and river access.” He suggested that the location could inspire creative projects or simply offer a calm escape from city life, posing the question, “Why sit in motorway traffic when this peaceful gem awaits?”
The plot’s proximity to a well-used footpath makes it a convenient resting spot for walkers seeking solace amid nature. The online auction is scheduled for 5:30 pm on Wednesday, July 23, with registration required by 4 pm on Monday, July 21, via the Hollis Morgan website.
