With such a bold red brick appearance, this property will be one of the most eye catching in this wonderful village setting. In fact this one is so attractive that I just had to know more, and was pleasantly surprised to discover that unlike the catalogue(with only two exterior images on show), the auctioneer's website had considerably more images available which display a wide range of
A mixed catalogue of farmland, building plots and renovation projects created great interest from both home and abroad at Symonds & Sampson’s latest property auction held in Sherborne.
Auctioneer Mark Lewis said “We were inundated with viewings and enquiries for all of the lots and the profile of the interested people was quite varied. We talked to a lot of developers who were looking to improve the buildings and then sell them on which proves that there is a long term confidence in property. Most calls, however, were from buyers just looking to improve the dwellings and stay in Dorset.
Auction House sales figures in May marked the fifth month in a row of improved fortunes for the group. Its five month results from January are currently 8.8% up on 2015, with 1,250 sold at a success rate of 76% and £165m raised.
Commenting on the figures, Auction House Founding Director Roger Lake said: “These results strengthen the case for regional auctions at a time when the residential market is struggling.

Right, first we're off to North Lincolnshire for a quick look at a gorgeous four bedroom former farmhouse. While this one has been described by the auction house as "requiring further modernisation and improvement", it's actually got a ton more good points than bad in the images. Stunning features galore! There is an amazing wooden floor in there for example, and in the adjoining kitchen area there's some equally attractive wood in those well cared for ceiling beams.
It's not all picture perfect mind you, as there is definitely scope to bring things further up to date, with that tired looking

The other many benefits of buying property at auction are listed below. If these don't convince you, nothing will!
Low prices
Auctions really do offer the chance to secure property at bargain prices. Thousands of properties are sold at auction in the UK every year - and many are hard to value, meaning they often sell at below market value. You
A 12 bedroom Victorian clifftop property was sold at auction at the end of last month.
Not unsual in itself, given it has stunning views over the Atlantic and massive refurbishment potential, however it comes with one drawback - it is widely referred to as the "haunted house".
The house on the cliff edge in Westward Ho! in North Devon, was built about 1885. The road leading to it was especially built to enable access to the house and was initially known as Seafield Road, later it became Merley Road.
The house will prove quite a project for the new owner as it needs “extensive refurbishment”
Leading land agent Aston Mead has hit back at those who have doubted the ability of the UK to build a million new homes by 2020.
The pledge is at the heart of the government’s landmark Housing & Planning Bill, which received Royal Assent earlier this month. However, a recent survey of owners and directors of 389 housebuilders across England indicated that just over half (51%) thought the target would not be met.
