We are delighted to bring to the market this fantastic opportunity to purchase a significant plot by auction. A former garden nursery and pottery with a dwelling house and various outbuildings all requiring redevelopment, subject to the relevant planning consents. 

Description:
The site consists of a gated entrance way with parking for several vehicles. Much of the overall plot is overgrown but there is ample space to walk around and get a full picture of the potential that the property has on offer. There is a primary dwelling, consisting of a dormer bungalow with attached annex. This property is suffering from subsidence and has some significant water damage requiring complete renovation or replacement. The site includes numerous outbuildings including a concrete built pottery workshop and a large wooden summer house structure, formerly used as a gallery. There are three substantial greenhouses in a poor state of repair as well as numerous smaller sheds and storage spaces. The plot stretches at a gentle slope from the road to the woodland at the rear and contains many mature trees and shrubs and would benefit from extensive clearance.

AGENT'S NOTE:
We have been made aware that the original dwelling has significant subsidence and water damage. However, the extension does have the relevant building regulations.

SERVICES:
Mains electric and water are connected, private drainage is in place and LPG central heating is installed. The property is currently banded C for council tax within Somerset Council.

LOCATION:
The hamlet of Littleton on the outskirts of Compton Dundon is in one of the most picturesque areas of Somerset with both the Polden Hills and the Somerset Levels nearby. Locally, there is a church, village hall, garage and pub. The nearby market town of Somerton (approximately 3.5miles away) provides a range of amenities including a shopping precinct, schools, a library, doctors surgery, several public houses and restaurants. A wide range of further amenities are available in Street and Glastonbury including quality schooling at all levels such as renowned Millfield School, Crispin School & Strode College. Shoppers can enjoy Clarks Outlet Village within the heart of Street, just a 10 minute drive away.
