This detached three-bedroom bungalow on a generous 0.41-acre plot is offered for sale at public auction and represents a clear renovation opportunity. Largely untouched for over 20 years, the property requires full modernisation throughout, allowing a buyer to redesign internal layouts, update services and create contemporary living spaces. The single-storey plan and multiple reception rooms give flexibility for reconfiguration or easy conversion to a two-bedroom plus study layout.
Externally the site is a standout: very large grounds bordering the river Seaton, mature trees and level parking for multiple vehicles. A substantial detached garage/workshop and an on-site static caravan (in disrepair) add potential value but will need work or removal. The plot’s size and setting near seaside villages offer long-term potential for landscaping, outdoor living and productive garden use, subject to any planning and easement constraints.
Buyers must note material drawbacks plainly. The bungalow needs full renovation and redecoration, has room heaters/anthracite fuel rather than modern central heating, assumed uninsulated granite walls, and older double glazing installed pre-2002. Flooding risk is recorded as medium and mobile signal is reported as none. The lot is sold freehold at auction (12 November 2025) with an auction guide price of £125,000–£150,000; a buyer’s administration fee and a 10% deposit on exchange are payable immediately on sale.
This property will suit experienced renovators, investors or buyers seeking a single-storey home in a quiet rural setting who are prepared for a hands-on project. Inspect the auction legal pack for easements, drainage and buyer’s costs, and factor in remediation, insulation and heating upgrades when budgeting.
