For sale by public auction on 7th October 2026 at 7pm at Lifton Strawberry Fields. Green Gables is a substantial and individually designed detached dormer residence offering spacious and highly versatile accommodation. The property now requires comprehensive renovation but presents an excellent opportunity for a purchaser to create a distinctive family home within a generous and private plot.

The ground floor is arranged around a central hallway and includes a particularly spacious living room with fireplace, large windows and a broad archway opening into the adjoining dining room. The kitchen contains an extensive range of timber units and leads into a separate utility room with external access. Three bedrooms and a bathroom with both a bath and separate shower are also positioned on this floor, allowing considerable flexibility for family living, home working or accommodating relatives.

Upstairs are two further bedrooms, a dressing room and a shower room. Several rooms include fitted storage, while the varied arrangement of ground and first-floor bedrooms makes the property suitable for a range of different requirements.

Outside, a private driveway provides extensive off-road parking and leads to a substantial detached garage and workshop measuring approximately 20'10" x 20'9". The property stands within mature and well-established gardens which are currently overgrown and require attention but offer considerable privacy and potential. There are paved areas, mature trees and shrubs and oil tank storage building.

Combining stone and rendered elevations, generous accommodation and extensive ancillary space, Green Gables offers significant potential for improvement and reconfiguration, subject to any necessary consents. Its size, adaptable layout and secluded grounds make it an appealing opportunity for purchasers seeking a substantial home to renovate and personalise.
