Six bedroom farmhouse with guide price of £19,000 sounds like a dream

Well, that dream could come true as a spacious, rambling, six bedroom grade II listed former farmhouse has been listed for auction with a Newport business - and the guide price is just £19,000.

The stone-built property in the bucolic cream tea setting of Cotleigh, near Honiton, Devon, is surely too good an opportunity to miss.

“This is a truly awesome farmhouse. If you’re in the market for a place in the country then this surely must be at the top of your list.

(Image: Paul Fosh Auctions) “The farmhouse offers an incredible opportunity to purchase what really is a one of its kind type property bursting with character and charm, rural yet set in close proximity to the bustling local town of Honiton in Devon.

(Image: Paul Fosh Auctions) “This remarkable place, at Snodswell Farm, on Post Lane, Cotleigh, is set over three storeys meaning that there is loads of space for everyone to spread out.

“There is off road parking and front and rear gardens. The farmhouse, which is   Grade II listed, has six bedrooms and truly breath-taking views to the rear over the surrounding Devon countryside.

“Naturally, in a house like this, there is a log burner and even the use of a communal outdoor swimming pool."

The property has a private library and lots of original features.

Mr Roper said: “The property presents a great opportunity to buy, renovate and sell back on to the open market. Modernisation is required but would offer a great return with sales of large properties of this size selling locally in excess of £650,000."

The next Paul Fosh Auction, when this farmhouse and some 80-plus lots will be offered for sale, starts at noon on Tuesday, September 2, and ends from 5pm on Thursday, September 4.
