Set in the sought-after village of Lodsworth within the South Downs National Park, Upaloft is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace with strong period character and a generous plot. The house offers a double garage, private driveway and a large cellar — useful for storage or conversion. Mature village amenities including a pub and shop are within easy reach.
The property needs renovation throughout and has an EPC rating of F. Essential updates include modernising the kitchen and bathrooms, checking the oil-fired boiler and addressing insulation (stone walls assumed uninsulated). Double glazing was fitted after 2002, but the home retains low ceilings and exposed beams that will guide any sympathetic refurbishment.
This lot is sold at transparent online auction with a starting bid of £385,000 and immediate exchange of contracts available. Buyers should note auction fees (non-refundable deposit on exchange, plus a reservation fee up to 6% inc VAT) and review the legal pack and AML verification requirements before bidding.
For buyers seeking countryside living with renovation potential, this cottage offers scope to create a comfortable family home or a character rental in a low-crime, desirable village setting. Practical considerations — renovation costs, oil heating, and higher council tax — are important when assessing affordability and next steps.
