“Bids flooded in from the start and remained strong until the property was eventually sold, after 245 bids from 11 bidders, for £100,600, which is more than seven times the guide price of £13,500-plus.

The property is served by two car parking spaces to the front and a side pathway leading to a small rear courtyard and overgrown garden area.

Ms Davey said: “Subject to necessary planning consents and change of use the garage could suit a tradesperson. The space, which has been cleared by the previous owner, is fitted with power and light facility however this was damaged and will need to be re-connected.”
