For perhaps the first time ever Cooper and Tanner are offering for sale an island of just under half an acre within walking distance of Frome.

The land lies in the area known as Murtry Bottom through which the Mells River flows and surrounds The Island. It really does make a superb and tranquil spot to enjoy the flora and fauna of the area and perhaps an opportunity to create a wildlife haven or a great space for a family to build dens and explore.

The access to The Island is via the public footpath the runs along Murtry Bottom which links Spring Gardens to Hapsford making it accessible on foot from Vallis. You would then need some wellies to cross the river to get to the Island.
 

COMPLETION Completion has been set for Thursday 23rd September 2021 

BIDDERS REGISTRATION FEE Cooper and Tanner requires all bidders who wish to bid at our Auction to Register beforehand. A fixed Bidders Registration Fee of £1200 inc VAT per lot must be paid on registration. The fee is retained by Cooper and Tanner at the fall of the electronic gavel if a bidder is successful. The fee will be returned to all unsuccessful bidders. All checks required by current anti-money laundering legislation must be satisfactorily completed as part of the registration process before prior approval to bid will be granted, this will include providing proof of funds.

VIEWING At any reasonable time on foot with a set of the sale details. We would recommend that you access the land from the Hapsford end of the footpath. The Island will be found on the left hand side, just as you go through the kissing gate to the right of a former stone built bridge. The postcode for the nearest property to the footpath is BA11 3NN

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
