A substantial Georgian-Victorian manor on approximately 0.45 acres, offered at auction — a strong prospect for investors or a developer. The house totals roughly 6,700 sqft across three storeys, with 10 bedrooms, multiple reception rooms, an annexe and extensive outbuildings, providing obvious scope to reconfigure or convert into separate units (subject to planning). Two driveways, two garages, workshop and generous parking for 10+ cars add practical value for multi-occupancy use.
The property retains many period features — bay windows, high ceilings, original shutters, beams and feature fireplaces — creating clear appeal for buyers seeking character. Heating is mixed (oil and LPG) and the annexe has its own gas central heating. Mains drainage is connected and double glazing is present, though installation dates are unknown.
Buyers should factor in material shortcomings: the EPC is rated F, the building is of solid brick construction with assumed no wall insulation, and the sale is by auction with a binding contract at fall of the hammer and associated deposit and buyer fee. The site lies in a high flood‑risk area and broadband speeds are slow; planning would be required to split the building into separate dwellings. Council Tax Band G and the property’s scale mean running costs are likely to be high.
