Chescombe is a rare countryside parcel of about 3 acres centered on a timber chalet bungalow and a cluster of outbuildings. The single-storey wooden lodge provides two bedrooms, two reception rooms and basic services within roughly 698 sq ft, sitting within mature grounds and an enclosed vegetable garden. The site benefits from a Certificate of Lawfulness for residential use and is freehold with no agricultural tie — offering clear scope for continued occupation or change, subject to planning.
The land is the principal asset: half is laid to orchard, much is open garden and amenity land with garages, a pole barn and several timber/tin structures. The setting is peaceful and rural, around half a mile south of Chipping Sodbury, with very low crime, excellent mobile signal and no flood risk. This makes the plot attractive to buyers seeking a private country retreat or those looking to pursue redevelopment/extension opportunities (planning dependant).
Buyers should note material drawbacks plainly. The chalet and outbuildings are aged and require significant upgrading; the site includes buildings with asbestos and general neglect/overgrowth. The property has a low EPC (Band G) and very slow broadband, which may limit suitability for full-time remote working until improved. The sale will be by auction (guide £350,000 plus) on Thursday 25th September at 7pm — suitable for cash buyers or those prepared to act quickly.
This is a clear opportunity for a buyer who values privacy and land scale over a turnkey home: renovate the existing lodge for a rural bolthole, convert or repurpose the outbuildings, or apply for planning to increase the site’s long-term value. Viewings are available by open house in the run-up to auction.
