it is listed with a freehold guide price of £500,000 to £550,000 and vacant possession at the firm’s auction which ends on Wednesday 18 September.

Regional Director & Auctioneer Paul Bridgeman said: “This established and characterful former gatehouse surrounded by extensive grounds has been converted to create a family home.

“This is an excellent opportunity to acquire an interestingly shaped building situated in a rural, non-estate location on the edge of the town centre and close to the 500-acre Thorndon Country Park.

“We have been advised by the seller that the upper level was converted in the 1980s but does require some improvement and modernisation according to taste. We certainly recommend a viewing to get the full impact of this excellent lot.”

The ground floor comprises an entrance porch opening to reception room/dining room, living room, kitchen, rear lobby and cloakroom/WC, reception room/study, bathroom and reception room/bedroom, lean-to conservatory. At first floor level are three bedrooms and a bathroom.

The site extends to 0.09 hectares (0.22 acres).
