Renovation opportunity with 2.69 acres, outbuildings and elevated AONB views.
Three-bedroom period cottage requiring full renovation
Lot A Colcombe is a detached three-bedroom period cottage set in about 2.69 acres of pasture, orchard and useful outbuildings. The stone-built property sits in an elevated rural hamlet with far-reaching AONB views and generous external space ideal for a smallholding or equestrian use, subject to consents.
Internally the cottage is modest in scale with small-to-average rooms and a traditional kitchen; the house requires full renovation throughout. Practicalities to note: the property is oil-heated, has private water and drainage (compliance unconfirmed), double glazing of unknown age and very slow broadband — all factors for budget planning.
The lot includes two large garages, a farm building, lean-to and field shelter plus ample off-street parking, giving immediate storage and agricultural utility. The site’s size and outbuildings are strong value drivers for buyers seeking land, workshops or scope to create a self-sufficient smallholding.
This will be sold by public auction with vacant possession. Buyers should factor renovation costs, potential drainage upgrades and the rural location’s limited services into their plans. The setting and plot offer long-term potential for a restored country home with extensive grounds.
