Old 19th Century police station up for sale in Bristol - pictures show intact row of cells

The building was previously used as a police station and the Avon Wildlife Trust headquarter

Bristol property hunters could be the proud owners of a former 19th century police station in one of the city’s most sought-after neighbourhoods. The imposing build still has a row of cells intact where detained suspects were held.

Estate agent, Hollis Morgan has allowed Bristol World permission to showcase the property to any potential buyers. The building is based in an ‘extremely convenient but secluded’ location set within the open green space of Brandon Hill and the vibrant areas of Clifton.

The station’s listing described it as “dating from 1836 with flexible accommodation (5444 Sq Ft) over two floors plus small basement and enclosed courtyard garden plus another garden overlooking Jacobs Wells Road.

“The property was occupied as a police station for many years and used as the Avon Wildlife Trust headquarters from 1986 until June 2022 - now vacant. We understand the property originally comprised two buildings, incorporating the police station to the rear and a residential cottage to the front.”
