Description

Being Sold via Secure Sale online bidding. Terms & Conditions apply.

A rare and compelling opportunity to acquire a three-bedroom detached bungalow set within approximately 1.5 acres (STS), occupying a truly special position overlooking the South Holland Drain 🌿

This is not your standard purchase — the property is in a significant state of disrepair and has been unoccupied for some time. As such, it is strictly suited to cash buyers only, offering a blank canvas for those ready to take on a full renovation or redevelopment project.

What cannot be replicated, however, is the setting, scale and potential. The plot itself is exceptional — extending to include a private paddock, wooded area, and a range of outbuildings packed with opportunity for the right buyer 🌳

🔑 Key Features

🌿 Approx. 1.5-acre plot (STS) with exceptional rural outlook

💧 Direct views over the South Holland Drain – a standout position

🏡 Three-bedroom detached bungalow requiring full renovation

🚜 Multiple outbuildings, paddock & private woodland – huge potential

The Opportunity

This is a site-led purchase. The dwelling itself requires comprehensive refurbishment and will not be suitable for mortgage lending in its current condition.

However, for developers, investors or experienced buyers, this represents a prime chance to transform or potentially redevelop (subject to planning) in a location where land of this size and setting is rarely available. The existing property is a three-bed detached bungalow with kitchen diner, family bathroom, craft room and a lean-to style conservatory.
