Freehold detached cottage on a large plot with garden and garage
A detached 2/3-bedroom cottage on a large plot in Horton with strong renovation and extension potential. The property is offered freehold with garage and dual driveway, and sits in a rural/comfortable-suburbia setting with good road links to Telford. Its countryside character and sizeable garden make it attractive for a sympathetic retrofit or small-scale redevelopment (subject to planning).
The house is currently unoccupied and described as derelict in places: the exterior and garden are overgrown, and the interior will require comprehensive updating. There is potential for damp and general neglect; buyers should expect remedial works, redecoration, and likely upgrades to services. Broadband is slow and mobile signal average.
This lot is being sold by unconditional online auction with a 5% deposit on fall of the hammer and a buyer's premium (5% + VAT, minimum £5,000 + VAT). Contracts exchange on sale and completion is typically required within 28 days. There is no confirmed planning permission; any extension or conversion is subject to local authority approval.
Location strengths include a sought-after hamlet setting near green spaces and reputable schools, plus no flood risk. Note the local area records above-average crime; interested purchasers should review the legal pack and site inspection reports closely and factor in renovation and possible special-condition costs when budgeting.
