Description

For Sale by Public Online Auction - Closing Date: Friday 10th July 2026 at 4pm

A detached bungalow set on the edge of the village in a level site approaching a third of an acre. In a poor state of repair and requiring total renovation, redevelopment or demolition and replacement with one or two dwellings (subject to consent). Sold with no onward chain.

The Property
Sethnoe Farm Bungalow is a detached bungalow situated on the edge of Sethnoe Farm, on the outskirts of Breage village. Built in 1990 as the farm worker's dwelling - and yet interestingly the property is not subject to an Agricultural Occupancy Condition - it has been unoccupied for over a decade and is now in a very poor state of repair, requiring total renovation or redevelopment. The property occupies a large, level site approaching a third of an acre and there is scope for two dwellings on the site (subject to planning consent).

The accommodation is spacious and currently offers; entrance vestibule and hall, dual aspect sitting room with open fire, kitchen, bathroom, two w.c.'s, utility/rear lobby, two double bedrooms and an attached garage.

The gardens sit largely at the front and side with driveway parking for several vehicles. The gardens are now a little overgrown but comprise various areas of lawn and a paved pathway runs around the perimeter of the bungalow. There are thought to be two ponds within the grounds, though these are currently covered by vegetation.
