 The property is currently owned by the city council |
A former public toilet in Bristol has been sold for �35,000 at auction. The 24ft by 13ft lavatory, in the Totterdown area of the city, raised more than �10,000 above its expected selling price.
The stone-clad property, which was owned by Bristol City Council, has a male and female toilet block.
A man from Bristol bought the property during a "furious" auction. He said afterwards he planned to develop it into a barber's shop.
James Goodchild, of estate agents Maggs and Allen, said: "When the hammer came down at �35,000 it went to a round of applause."
The atmosphere among potential investors at the Bristol Golf Club auction was competitive, Mr Goodchild said.
He said: "Two people ended up in a bidding war for the loo, and I was surprised how much it went for."
