Description

For sale by Public Auction on Thursday 25th September 2025 at Leigh Court, Pill Road, Abbots Leigh, BS8 3RA and online at 7.00pm.

This distinctive four-bedroom detached, freehold home, dating back to around 1705, offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Weston-super-Mare’s history. Tucked away just off Alma Street in the heart of the town centre, the property is ideally located within easy reach of shops, transport links, and the seafront. Despite its central position, it enjoys a sense of privacy with a fully enclosed front garden and the convenience of two garages providing valuable off-street parking.

The home retains a wealth of original character and charm, with period features evident throughout. Of particular note is the authentic gas-fired lighting system—an exceptional and rarely preserved feature that adds to the property’s unique appeal. The interiors reflect the building’s heritage while offering a comfortable and functional layout suited to modern living.

With four well-proportioned bedrooms and generously sized living areas, the property offers ample space for families or those looking for a home with historic presence. This is a remarkable opportunity for buyers seeking something truly individual, combining period authenticity with a central, well-connected location.
