This two-bedroom mid-terrace cottage in Leigh has been fully renovated and offers a compact, move-in-ready home in a quiet village setting a short drive from Sherborne. The layout is traditional and straightforward: lounge, kitchen and bathroom on the ground floor, two bedrooms upstairs and an enclosed rear garden. Its small overall size and modest rooms suit a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor looking for a low-maintenance property with immediate rental or occupation potential.
Important transactional facts are that the property is being sold by Modern Auction. Bids are subject to an undisclosed reserve and buyers must sign a reservation agreement and pay a non-refundable reservation fee of 4.5% of the purchase price (minimum £6,600 including VAT). There is also an administration fee for the buyer information pack (up to £349 inc. VAT). These costs are payable in addition to the purchase price and should be factored into any purchase budget.
Practical points: the house has double glazing (install date not confirmed), electric main fuel with boiler and radiators, and solid brick walls with assumed no cavity insulation — this may mean higher heating costs than newer builds. Council tax is described as cheap and local crime levels are very low. No flood risk is recorded. There is no onward chain, which can speed completion once the auction terms are met.
This is a straightforward village cottage with recent refurbishment and a small garden. It will suit someone wanting a modest, ready-to-move-into home or a rental purchase, provided they accept auction-sale costs and check running-cost and insulation details during due diligence.
