Public toilets
The property is currently owned by the city council
A former public toilet is due to be auctioned off to potential developers on Tuesday.

The lavatory, in the Totterdown area of Bristol, measures 24ft by 13ft and is expected to fetch upwards of £25,000.

The stone-clad property, owned by Bristol City Council, has a male and female toilet block. It is being marketed by agents Maggs and Allen.

The company describes it as "a single-storey building situated in a prominent position".

Estate agents

They add: "It would be suitable for redevelopment, subject to consents."

Anna Maggs, of the company, said the property was attracting lots of interest.

She said: "We have been quite shocked with the amount of enquires we have had so far."

The company are auctioning the building for Bristol City Council after it became "surplus to requirements".

The estate agents have given the toilet a guide price of £25,000 but it is thought the final price could be much higher.

The property is due to be sold at an auction at Bristol Golf Club.
