‘Rare’ Bath city-centre parking space sold for £115,000

A city-centre parking space in Bath has sold for £115,000 just two days after being listed online.

The "good size" parking space is tucked away close to Circus Mews, in a secure underground garage with an electric gate and lighting.

The last time a space became available in the same garage was about eight years ago, the company said.

The brochure sent to potential buyers said it was a "very rare opportunity" to buy a parking space in the city centre.

The garage is located in a "highly convenient and sought-after position" close to shops, restaurants and the pedestrianised Margaret's Buildings, it added.

The zone involves some higher-polluting vehicles being charged to enter the city centre.

But the price in Bath is not close to that of a parking space in Hong Kong. That was sold for a record-breaking $1.3m in June.

The space is part of an underground development
