Set within an attractive rural setting between Symondsbury and Broadoak, this detached stone cottage offers genuine countryside charm and long-term potential. The house retains character features — exposed stone, sash-style windows and a wood-burning stove — and sits in a private, mature garden with open country views to the rear.
The property requires comprehensive modernization throughout: kitchen, bathroom and general decoration/upgrading will be needed, and the walls are presumed uninsulated. Heating is by an oil-fired boiler with a Rayburn; the property uses a private water supply and shared private drainage. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is average, important for those who work from home.
The sale is by public auction on Friday 14th November 2025 (live stream available). The dwelling (Lot 1) is offered freehold with a guide price of £300,000; an adjoining paddock of approximately 0.76 acres is offered as Lot 2 for a guide price of £50,000, with the cottage buyer having first refusal on the paddock. EPC rating G and council tax band D reflect the need for investment.
This property will suit buyers looking for a character renovation project, a rural retreat or someone seeking additional paddock land (subject to consents). Be realistic about upgrade costs and service limitations; the location and grounds are the primary value drivers.
