The 'A House Through Time' house has been listed for sale on Rightmove

The 18th century Redcliffe home which was at the centre of hit BBC2 series A House Through Time has been put up for sale.

Number 10 Guinea Street has been put on the market less than 24 hours after the final episode of the four-part series aired.

Presented by Bristol-based historian David Olusoga, A House Through Time took an in-depth look at Bristol's history through the lives of the occupants of 10 Guinea Street.

The property survived riots and industrialisation, poverty and then the blitz and Bristol's post-war redevelopment.

At the end of the series, the property's owners hinted they felt ready to move on to the next chapter in their lives and the four-bedroom house is now on the market, with offers expected to be in the region of £800,000.

The programme examined the story of 10 Guinea Street right back to when it was built, in 1718.

Its first occupant was Captain Edmund Saunders, who was a sea merchant responsible for 20 slaving voyages.

But Prof Olusoga told Bristol Live there should not be any worry about the house's links to slave trading putting people off buying it. "The reality is you would hard pushed to find any surviving Georgian house in Bristol that didn't have links to the slave trade," he said.

"One of the things that this series focusing on this house, and the ones in Liverpool and Newcastle showed, is just how far the tentacles of the slave trade, and the associated industries, reached in 18th century Britain," he added.

'A rare chance' to purchase 'historically significant' home

The Georgian home has today (Wednesday, June 17) been listed for sale on Rightmove for £800,000 - described as "brimming with character".
