The four-bedroom property, based in White Lane Close in Sturminster Newton, has been put up for auction by Auctioneers Symonds and Sampson.

Symonds and Sampson state the ‘substantial’ detached house has been in the same family for approximately 50 years and gives ‘buyers a rare chance’ to purchase a detached four-bedroom house in the area.

The house sits in the centre of a large plot of approximately 0.23 acres and would be suitable for extension, replacement or more than one dwelling subject to planning permission.

The property’s brochure notes that the property requires modernisation and improvement throughout by the buyer.

Based within a walking distance of Sturminster Newton town centre, the property also has ‘lovely river walks close by’.

The ground floor contains a sitting room, conservatory, dining room, kitchen/diner and cloakroom. Four bedrooms and bathroom are on its first floor.

The property has wrought iron gates which leads onto a driveway and turning area, along with two garages that could be incorporated into the main dwelling.

The gardens have also been cleared and is a blank canvas for buyers to transform into their own taste and style.
