This is the former servants’ wing of a Grade II‑listed country house offered for sale by public auction. The building retains strong period proportions — high ceilings, large sash windows and generous reception rooms — but is in need of extensive modernisation throughout. The EPC is F and the property currently uses oil‑fired heating; a comprehensive renovation will be required to meet modern living standards.
Set in an idyllic rural location between Llanwarne and Wormelow, the house sits on a very large plot with mature planting, stone walls, outbuildings, two single garages and a cobbled courtyard. The approach through stone gates and parkland is attractive, and once cleared the rear garden and grounds offer far‑reaching farmland views. Broadband is fast and mobile signal is excellent despite the remoter, hamlet setting.
This lot suits an experienced purchaser or investor prepared to manage a full restoration within the constraints of Grade II listing. Listed status will influence what can be altered and may complicate works and permissions; interested buyers should factor in specialist conservation, structural and services surveys. There is evidence of external and internal damp and mould in places; buyers must budget for remedial works, rewiring, drainage checks and possible roof and insulation improvements.
The sale will proceed at public auction (guide price shown). Legal documentation and pre‑auction enquiries are strongly recommended: purchasers will typically be required to exchange quickly and pay a substantial deposit on the fall of the hammer. This property offers significant character and scope for value enhancement, but only for those able and willing to take on a major refurbishment within a listed building context.
