A three-bedroom period cottage on Upper Road, Adgestone, offering sea and countryside views from a rural hamlet setting. The stone-built property sits on a decent plot with front and rear gardens and retains period character, making it a strong candidate for a sympathetic renovation or a buy-to-let conversion.
The house needs renovation throughout: remedial works, updating of services, and interior redecoration are required. The property is offered for sale by modern auction with an undisclosed reserve; buyers should allow for the non-refundable reservation fee (4.2% of the purchase price, minimum £6,000) and a pack preparation fee (£349). Completion is expected within 56 days of contract exchange, so allow time for survey and mortgage arrangements.
Practical considerations: broadband is very slow, heating is electric with a boiler and radiators and there is an existing wood burner in the living room. The stone walls are likely uninsulated; further investigation into fabric, electrics and services is recommended. Local benefits include proximity to Adgestone Vineyard, the Roman Villa, good primary schools nearby and excellent mobile signal.
This property suits buyers looking for a project—first-time buyers prepared to renovate, downsizers seeking rural views with manageable living space, or investors targeting refurbishment for sale or rental. Be prepared for upfront renovation costs and auction-related fees when budgeting.
