Video tours
An incredibly rare opportunity in the heart of Avonmouth to acquire a genuinely enormous three storey primarily office building with multiple amenities and parking facilities, being most recently the home of the UK Border Force for the region and built, we understand, in the 1980s.
Custom House, which is convenient for the nearby Station and Portbury Docks, lies only approximately a mile from Junction 18 of the M5 and not much more than eight miles from Bristol City Centre.
The convenient location of the property, combined with its sheer scale, is likely to appeal to owner-occupiers as well as investors, with properties of this nature being a rare commodity indeed.
Tenure
Remainder of a 75 year lease, from 1st December 1980, (expiring 30th November 2055), at a current head rental of £17,326 per annum.
Accommodation
The building offers substantial office accommodation over three floors and is essentially formed as a vast array of open plan and cellular offices around a central core, with an impressive board room on the top floor. There are plenty of W.C. facilities throughout as well as a number of showers and, on the ground floor, as befits the previous occupier there are a range of secure storage facilities.
EPC Information
The EPC for the property states the energy rating to be Band C.
Outside
The whole site extends to 0.3 hectares (0.75 acres) and includes a car park for approximately 35 vehicles accessed by way of an electric gate.

01622 279788Clive Emson Auctioneers was founded in 1989 to supply a high profile auctioneering facility to corporate and independent estate agents, private clients and statutory bodies. Our success is due to, and remains, attributable to a firm commitment to quality and service distinguished by both our Investors in People and ISO accreditations. The concept of the Company is to provide a specialist land and property auctioneering service and, therefore, does not compete with the traditional estate agency, mortgage broking, insurance or any other aspect of the property world. All properties upon which we are instructed are offered for sale in the auction catalogue. The 20-25,000 full colour catalogues produced for each of our auctions are available either by post or through a network of over 850 estate agency outlets throughout Southern England. Our marketing is supported by more estate agency offices than any other auctioneers practice. In addition lot details, catalogue downloads, viewings and legal documentation are available through this website.
