Two-bedroom secluded cottage on a large plot — huge renovation potential, sold at auction.
Rare off-grid detached cottage with huge private garden
A rare off-grid two-bedroom cottage set in very private countryside with a huge garden and scope for substantial improvement. The house retains character features — beamed ceilings, inglenook with log burner and a farmhouse-style kitchen — and offers two reception rooms plus an attached outbuilding and carport. Its size is modest (approx. 662 sq ft) but the plot is extensive, making it attractive for self-sufficiency, large gardens or small-scale diversification.
The property requires renovation throughout and is sold at auction (Guide Price £160,000–£180,000). Buyers should factor in the costs of repairs, potential upgrading of services and any special conditions in the legal pack. A 4x4 vehicle is recommended because of the very remote location and limited immediate amenities; however the setting delivers exceptional privacy and uninterrupted countryside views.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, no identified flood risk, fast broadband and affordable council tax. Material considerations: this is an off-grid, remote cottage in a very deprived area with renovation needs and auction buying obligations (deposit, buyer’s premium, 28-day completion). Viewing and pre-auction due diligence are strongly recommended before bidding.
