Summary - Woodmans Lodge, 38 The Street, Ashwellthorpe NR16 1HD
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Large plot with rental annexe and redevelopment potential for experienced buyers.
Detached period cottage with original character features
A substantial detached country cottage dating from before 1900, set in approximately 0.67 acres with a fully self-contained one-bedroom annexe. The main house offers three reception rooms, a sun lounge, kitchen, utility and four bedrooms above, providing flexible family accommodation or a combined owner/tenant arrangement. The annexe gives immediate rental or ancillary use and could be incorporated into the main house.
The property requires comprehensive modernisation throughout: electric storage heating, an EPC rating of F, likely uninsulated solid brick walls and general cosmetic and structural upgrading are needed to realise its full potential. The large gardens wrap around neighbouring thatched cottages and may offer additional development potential (subject to planning), but no permissions are currently in place.
For buyers comfortable with auction purchase and renovation, the plot and character features (exposed beams, brick fireplace, wood-burning stove) present a clear value opportunity. Note this sale is by livestream online auction on 10 December 2025; an administration fee of £1,200 (inc. VAT) and buyer’s premium of £600 (inc. VAT) are payable on exchange, and viewers should consult the legal pack for further disbursements. Viewings are by appointment.
