Description

Offered at auction through the Modern Method, this three-bedroom semi-detached cottage is set on a substantial plot of approximately 0.34 acres, subject to title confirmation, on the edge of East Huntspill. The accommodation is described as generous and offers scope for modernisation and improvement. The setting includes countryside views and a mature orchard-style garden with lawns, established trees, planting and paths. The property is traditionally built in brick beneath a pitched tiled roof. It is being marketed as a renovation project, with the plot and existing garden providing the main scope for improvement. East Huntspill has access to Burnham-on-Sea, Highbridge and Bridgwater. The sale is subject to the Modern Method of Auction terms, including a non-refundable buyer’s premium of 3.6% of the purchase price plus VAT, subject to a minimum of £6,600 including VAT, and a £396 legal pack fee. The access lane is privately owned by another property; proposals for a new dwelling or development requiring use of the lane would need the lane owner’s agreement. Buyers should review the legal pack and confirm the property is suitable for any proposed mortgage finance before bidding.

Grade CPotential opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £300,000, Orchard Cottage is priced below the local average at £240/sqf versus £280/sqf, giving buyers a cheaper entry point for a substantial renovation project. The traditional red-brick exterior and pitched roof provide a sound-looking starting point, while the large, established orchard-style garden, mature trees and countryside outlook give the property real character.

Inside, the photographed rooms show dated finishes, with prominent ceiling damage and discolouration in the living room and substantial wall damage and staining in a bedroom. This is a heavy, multi-room project rather than a cosmetic refresh, but it offers scope to remake the interiors to your own specification. The property is being sold by auction; bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.

Key opportunities

  • A substantial interior project offers scope to rework the dated finishes and create a home to your own specification.
  • The large, established orchard-style garden, with mature trees, planting and paths, is a distinctive asset to enjoy and shape over time.
  • The traditional red-brick elevation and pitched tiled roof provide an attractive starting point for a sympathetic improvement scheme.

Key risks

  • Stripped-back finishes are not the issue here, but damaged ceiling and wall surfaces, dated floors and multiple rooms to update make this a heavy programme; plan for investigation, making good and a longer project than a cosmetic refresh.
