Description
Offered at auction, this six-bedroom detached house occupies a plot of approximately 0.34 acres on Wigginton village main street. The former joiner's house has been in the same family for many years and is described as requiring complete renovation. The accommodation is stated to extend to over 1,800 sq ft across two floors, with two loft areas accessed by fixed staircases.
The rear of the plot contains a range of derelict outbuildings, including a former sawmill, which the seller describes as dangerous and close to collapse. The gardens are overgrown and currently inaccessible in places. A rear gate opens onto a footpath following the route of a historic village lane. Any development of the rear land would require planning permission; no permission is stated. The house is not listed and is not in a conservation area, according to the particulars.
Mains water and drainage are connected. Gas is available in the street but is not connected, and the property has historically used oil heating. Wigginton has local shops, a primary school, sports and health facilities, with Haxby nearby and York city centre less than five miles away. The sale is by traditional online auction, with the legal pack and special conditions to be checked for the applicable fees and terms.

Grade CPotential opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £500,000, the guide is about 23% below the local average on a £/sqf basis, making the price a clear opportunity for a buyer prepared to take on a substantial project. This is a historic former joiner’s house with six bedrooms, around 0.34 acres and a substantial brick exterior; the visible roof appears broadly intact. Inside, the photographed rooms are markedly dated and worn, while the overgrown rear plot is obstructed by severely deteriorated outbuildings, including a sawmill described as close to collapse. Bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.
The scale is a full-gut programme rather than a cosmetic refresh, with scope to rework the interiors and bring the garden and outbuildings into a safer, usable condition. The two loft areas have fixed staircases, but their suitability for conversion is unverified; any development of the rear land would also require planning permission. The score reflects the attractive entry price and strong fundamentals, balanced against the heavy works and only moderate economics.
Key opportunities
- Acquire a six-bedroom, substantial brick house at a below-local-average £/sqf and create a new interior through a full-gut programme.
- Reclaim the 0.34-acre rear plot from overgrowth and clutter, with scope to improve the garden and assess the historic outbuildings once safe.
- Two loft areas have fixed staircases, offering a feature to investigate, though conversion suitability is not established.
Key risks
- Stripped, worn interiors, debris and obstructed grounds make this a heavy whole-property programme; allow for a longer, more involved rebuild than a cosmetic refresh.
- The rear outbuildings are severely deteriorated, with open roof sections and apparent partial collapse; specialist safety and condition assessment is needed before access or works.
- The asking-price advantage does not translate into much headroom against the implied local average once works are considered.
