If you are the successful buyer of Weir Lodge, being offered in CLIVE EMSON's next auction on Tuesday 5th Feb, you may, on a winters day, sit by the banks of the Little Stour river and watch the Kingfishers dart in and out of the water catching fish.

The house is located adjacent to the race and wheel mechanism (now removed) and mill pond. Once extended it would create a larger ground

The two-storey barn, off High Street, Bonsall, Matlock, which has a guide price of £225,000+, has a garden and grass paddock, with the plot extending to 1.2 acres. Planning

The other many benefits of buying property at auction are listed below. If these don't convince you, nothing will!
