Watermill - renovation project?

South Mill House, Stockland, Honiton, Devon

Guide Price of £450k, Sale by online auction - deadline 28th April 2021.

This grade II listed property definitely needs some imagination and hard work but if you are prepared to put in some elbow grease you will end up with a stunning, breathtaking and totally awesome property.

The main mill could be a spacious 4 bedroomed property over 3 floors with original features including the mill equipment.

The range of stone barns and just over 4 acres are an added bonus. Maybe even potential for holiday lets.

Ok there are questions over "sure up", "significant work" and why the sale is happening. Was this a project too big and tricky for the current owners?

Certainly worth looking into more deeply if you are looking for your forever property dream house.

Ruined Cottage requires a visionary

Location: Milton Lane, Wookey Hole, Wells, Somerset Price: £150k Agent: Jeanes Holland Burnell, Wells Link: Property Details Noteworthy features: ruined cottage, planning permission (holiday let only), great location, garden facing glass wall. Usually Estate agent photographs are fairly bland but this one is bordering on artistic.The perfect summer retreat up a quiet lane in rural somerset high above Wookey Hole near the beautiful cathedral city of Wells. Of course you will have to build it first. The building part could be tricky, I am no builder or expert in structural engineering but my first concern would be how much work you have to do on those walls to make them sound. In the worst case are they just a large pile of local stone to be reused or with some minor work the walls could be patched up in place. You definitely need an expert opinion on this one. Even though the plans include a nice extension on the back it will still be small but then again...

Check out that view! Bideford, Devon

The view alone for this house is worth the asking price of £235k . The house is a bit of blank canvas needing a complete refurbishment but could become a dream house with some serious work. Listing link: Check out that view! Bideford, Devon. If you buy this house you will spend your time looking at the view. I give it a day before you order some binoculars or a telescope and the bay windows are just asking for a window seat. The house has clearly seen better days and you probably need to be a builder or need a tame builder to help you put things right. On the upside, the kitchen has already been ripped out so you can completely redesign that to your taste. The rooms are all large and there are some nice period features such as the hall floor and fireplaces. The small third bedroom also has a sheltered balcony overlooking the river, a perfect spot to sit and watch the world go by. The back garden is nothing to speak of but then you will be spending most of your time out the front for th...

A tale of two houses - Victoria Road, Camelford, Cornwall

This house in Camelford, Cornwall evokes strong opinions, you will either love or hate it and at £400k you need to think this through. Listing link: Victoria Road, Camelford, Cornwall. This is a tale of two houses, both alike in dignity. In fair Camelford, where we lay our scene. This house and you could be star-crossed lovers just like Romeo and Juliet or like Julies Caesar you might need to beware the houses of Camelford. This house is perhaps noteworthy for its character but also some of the style and design choices the current homeowner has made. A jury of 12 people, good and true would debate late into the night of the merits or quirks of the house. Looking beyond the style, the building's essence reveals itself. The front boasts a touch of French inspiration with elegant yew trees in the garden—a noteworthy topic for dinner conversations. The large open windows and the light throughout the property are the stand-out features. The stunning Rococo ceiling and other intricate ar...
