Auctioneer Paul Bridgeman said: “Parcels of land, particularly in residential areas, generally do well at auction – but this one really took off and made for exceptional online auctioneering.

“We had strong bidding which drove up the sale price as our bidders recognised that the land may offer potential for alternative uses, subject to all necessary consents being obtainable.”

The land at Hawksfields is close to bus routes, Bushmead Community Hub, as well as schools and colleges.
