Description
A substantial four-bedroom detached house on the edge of Stogumber, offered with no onward chain and requiring complete renovation. The stone-built property has rendered elevations, a slate roof and timber-framed windows, with an elevated position overlooking farmland. The accommodation includes a utility room, rear hall, downstairs WC, wine store, living room and separate dining room, as well as a kitchen with a basic range of cupboards and an oil-fired central-heating boiler.
Upstairs are four bedrooms, including two with fitted units and wash basins, a bathroom and a separate WC. The living room has an open fireplace, exposed floorboards and ceiling beams, while the dining room has a bay window and access to the garden. Outside, the grounds extend to just over an acre, including formal garden areas, a vegetable patch with polytunnel and established woodland. There is off-road parking and a former stable with a garage door that provides further parking. The freehold property is connected to mains water, electricity and sewage.

Grade CPotential opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £525,000, this substantial detached house is priced at £261/sq ft, 14.3% below the local average—a clear opportunity to acquire below the area’s typical rate. It offers a distinctive stone-and-rendered exterior beneath a slate roof, farmland views and just over an acre of gardens and woodland, with exposed beams, floorboards and an open fireplace adding character to the living room.
The house needs a complete renovation: the kitchen and bathroom are dated, and older finishes and worn carpets show across several rooms. The £45,000–£85,000 renovation range gives a sense of the project’s scale. At the midpoint, purchase plus works comes to £590,000, against an implied local-average value of £612,548; that is a modest 3.8% margin before stamp duty and fees, not a renovated GDV.
Key opportunities
- Replace the dated kitchen and bathroom and refresh finishes across the house to shape a more cohesive interior.
- Bring the overgrown sections and neglected vegetable-patch area back into use while making the most of the established garden and woodland.
- Retain and highlight the living room’s exposed beams, floorboards and open fireplace alongside the distinctive stone-and-rendered exterior.
Key risks
- The complete renovation is a substantial programme: kitchen and bathroom replacement, redecoration and flooring work all need to be planned within the £45,000–£85,000 range.
