Period stone home with garage and panoramic rural vistas, ripe for renovation.
Three bedrooms in a detached stone house with period features
Gated rear driveway and detached garage for secure parking
Stunning rear countryside views across open fields
Requires modernisation; boiler reported as not working
Likely uninsulated stone walls; energy upgrades advised
Small plot and modest overall internal space (approx. 600 sq ft)
Sold at Modern Auction — undisclosed reserve and buyer fees apply
Chain-free sale but completion required within 56 days of purchase
This three-bedroom stone house sits in a sought-after Emley village spot with far-reaching countryside views to the rear. The detached garage and gated rear driveway offer useful off-street parking, while the small front garden and paved rear seating area provide low-maintenance outdoor space. Local schools are well regarded and the property benefits from fast broadband and very low local crime — practical for families or investors seeking village life.
The house requires modernisation throughout. The boiler is reported as not working and the building — likely constructed c.1900–1929 in sandstone — appears to lack wall insulation. Buyers should expect refurbishment to improve heating efficiency, update fixtures and possibly address roof, services or structural items revealed by a survey. The property is sold freehold and chain-free, which can speed completion for a buyer ready to renovate.
This sale is by Modern Auction with an undisclosed reserve and significant buyer costs: a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600) plus additional buyer fees and a completion window of 56 days. Prospective purchasers must complete due diligence, commission surveys, and confirm funding before bidding. These auction conditions materially affect overall purchase costs and timing.
For someone prepared to carry out works, the home offers clear potential to add value — improving the heating, insulation and interior presentation will modernise the living space and reduce running costs. The combination of detached accommodation, gated parking, garage and attractive rural outlook makes this a straightforward renovation project in an affluent village setting.
