A Bristol house built the year Queen Elizabeth II came to the throne - and owned by the same family ever since - is up for sale. The property in Knowle is on the market for the first time since it was built in 1952, the same year as the Queen’s Coronation.
With the nation gearing up to celebrate the Platinum Jubilee, the sale of the house is particularly timely. When the owners of the three-bedroom property in Melbury Road moved in 70 years ago, Winston Churchill was Prime Minister and children’s TV show Flower Pot Men was aired for the first time.

On the market with no onward chain, the house has two reception rooms, kitchen, upstairs bathroom and WC. Many of the original 1950s features have been retained and an exterior building in the large 66ft garden still has a WC and wash basin.
Close to Redcatch Park, Broadwalk shopping centre and local schools, the property requires some basic updating but offers plenty of potential for the new owners as a substantial family home.
