Large six-bed period cottage in Great Doddington — auction sale, needs full renovation.
Six-bedroom stone cottage with period features and exposed beams
Set in sought-after Great Doddington, this traditional stone cottage — originally two cottages — offers rare scale and period character across six bedrooms. The house retains exposed beams, bay windows and fireplaces, and sits on a small, enclosed front garden with off-street parking accessed across the lane. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and the property is freehold with no flood risk.
The house is sold via Modern Auction (open house Friday 26th September, 3:00–4:00). Be aware there is an undisclosed reserve/start price and a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600) plus buyer administration costs; bidders must complete within 56 days and provide ID and funding evidence. The property may not be registered at HM Land Registry — your solicitor will need to confirm title registration.
The interior needs full renovation: dated decoration, potential damp in parts of the living room, low ceilings in some rooms and restricted head height in several bedrooms. There is just one bathroom and a separate WC, so conversion or extension work would benefit larger households. This is a strong opportunity for a renovator or investor able to manage a substantial refurbishment and auction purchase process.
Viewings are recommended to assess scope and costs. For an owner-occupier, the house offers long-term family accommodation with character; for an investor it provides flexible conversion potential and period appeal in an affluent village setting.
