Willow Farm Bungalow, Bedford Road, Sandy

Set within approximately 7 acres, a detached bungalow and a collection of small commercial units that is set well back from the A603, close to Girtford Bridge, for sale by Public Auction on Wednesday 23rd April 2025.

Believed to have been built in the latter half of the twentieth century, this detached bungalow offers accommodation roughly measuring 1,300 sq. ft. with a dated interior that includes two reception rooms and three bedrooms. To the foreground of the bungalow is a walled garden that is mainly paved, plus a small yard with a brick single storey building of similar size to a double garage that has a steel roller shutter door. Opposite this building is a row of timber and sheet metal buildings offering six or seven small lock-up storage units. We are advised that a number of these units are let and details will be included within the legal pack.

Extending to the side and rear of the bungalow is approximately 6 ½ acres of land that is in poor condition. The top soil has been scraped back forming quite a large mound and a long bank, there are two large pools where unauthorised gravel extraction has occurred, piles of detritus, both from the gravel extraction and imported material and the local authority have issued an enforcement notice to re-instate the land,

Auctioneer's Note
We are selling on behalf of the Executors, the Executors have advised us that no pre-auction offers will be accepted and the lot will only be sold in the auction on 23rd April.

Some of the waste on the site includes roof batons with nails protruding, and other hazardous objects. Any person visiting the site is advised to wear suitable footwear and to take great care to avoid any injury. Furthermore, the pools where gravel extraction has occurred are believed to be deep, therefore they present a risk of drowning. Consequently we request that when we hold Open House Viewings children are not brought onto the property.
