1058 sqftDescription
Offered at auction, this freehold development opportunity combines a three-bedroom, two-storey cottage of approximately 1,058 sq ft with a level brownfield plot of around 0.21 acres in central Worle. The vacant house requires modernisation and may be retained as a home or investment, subject to the buyer's plans and investigations.
The wider site has been marketed with indicative proposals for three new houses. The seller reports that a pre-application submission to North Somerset Council was positively received, but any development remains subject to the necessary consents. The listing states that the property is not listed and is outside a conservation area. Pre-application information and an intrusive ground investigation report are said to be available in the legal pack. The freehold sale is stated to have no overage provision.
The property is in a central location close to Worle's shops and amenities, with Weston-super-Mare and access to the M5 also noted in the listing. Buyers should review the legal and technical information and make their own enquiries into the house, site, ground conditions and planning feasibility.

Grade BGood opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
The asking price is a standout entry point: £195,000 works out at £184/sq ft, well below the local average of £319, giving a buyer scope to acquire a vacant three-bedroom cottage and shape its next chapter. Inside, the patterned finishes, dated kitchen and distinctive pink bathroom suite offer a clear modernisation canvas, while the freehold plot of around 0.21 acres adds a substantial wider opportunity. The listing describes indicative proposals for three new houses, but any development would depend on the necessary consents.
This is a full project rather than a cosmetic refresh: the photographed interiors need broad updating and the cleared ground is rough, with rubble and uneven areas. The supplied £40,000–£75,000 renovation range indicates the scale of the works; the strong price and project potential underpin the good overall opportunity score. Bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.
Key opportunities
- Acquire the three-bedroom cottage at a notably low asking price per square foot and modernise its patterned interiors, kitchen and pink bathroom suite.
- Use the 0.21-acre freehold plot as the basis for a broader project; the listing describes indicative proposals for three new houses, subject to consent.
- The vacant cottage offers flexibility to create a refreshed home or explore the listing's stated extension or conversion potential.
Key risks
- The dated finishes across the photographed rooms and the rubble-strewn, uneven cleared plot make this a substantial works programme; the £40,000–£75,000 renovation range is a significant budget commitment rather than a cosmetic refresh.
- The property fronts a town-centre street with commercial neighbours.
