Ask Justin: Pick of the properties 2022

Looking back over 2022, we’ve had the privilege of marketing some cracking properties for our clients. From luxury homes to brilliant investment prospects, here’s a round-up of some of the best. And if you’re thinking about a move in the New Year, or you just want to discuss your options, give us a call, we love to talk property.

Luxury home – Grey Gables

When we were instructed to sell this historic property, we knew we were offering a rare opportunity to own part of England’s rich Arts and Crafts heritage.

Grey Gables combines a unique architectural history with outstanding, luxury, contemporary finishes and fixtures with no expense spared. This property sold for a Vision Properties record of just under £3.5 million, making it a clear winner for our best luxury home of 2022.

First time buy – Dell Farm Close, Knowle

This house in Dell Farm Close, Knowle, sold earlier this year for £275,000. Its position in an attractive courtyard development just a short walk from Knowle High Street, the park and the excellent local schools made it a great choice for anyone looking for a first-time buy or a home for a young family.

Investment property – Libbards House, Monkspath

As residential letting specialists, we’re always on the lookout for investment properties for our landlords. This two-bedroom, ground floor apartment in a beautiful, Georgian, Grade II listed building, just a short walk from Widney Manor Train Station ticks all the boxes.

The property is packed full of original features, including sash windows, vaulted ceilings and exposed beams and has been renovated to a high standard with tenants’ requirements in mind, making it the winning investment property this year.

We were tasked to fully let the property and achieved a whopping £15,600 per annum, which will provide a 5.7% yield to a new landlord.

Best Renovation Project – Malory, Wythall

Back in June we marketed this much-loved detached house, which had been home to our client for more than 70 years. We knew it would be a popular property, but we were blown away by the response from buyers looking for a renovation project in ever-popular Wythall.

Malory ticks all the boxes for the perfect project – it’s packed with original features, set in a mature garden in an idyllic rural setting and has room to extend. This property was crying out for a new owner to make a wonderful home that will maximise the picturesque location. We can’t wait to see what our buyer does with our choice for Best Renovation Project 2022.

Best Family Home – Copt Heath Drive, Knowle

With flexible accommodation including a playroom and thoughtfully designed, large open plan kitchen/living/dining area, with bi-fold doors that flood the space with natural light, this detached house in Knowle is our choice for Best Family Home in 2022. There are also four good bedrooms and a private rear garden.
