We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
A delightful cottage with a range of adaptable outbuildings, set within approximately 3/4 acres and offering excellent potential for renovation and extension. Additional land available.
For Sale by Auction in room and livestream on Wednesday 20th May 2026 at 2.00pm at the Aldwick Estate, Redhill, Blagdon, Bristol BS40 5AL.
Guide Price: £225,000 This attractive cottage enjoys a secluded setting with no immediate neighbours, yet benefits from excellent communication links to Taunton and the A303.
Surrounded by open farmland, the property is constructed of weathered red brick elevations beneath pitched tiled and fibre cement roofs and is now in need of complete renovation.
The existing accommodation comprises two reception rooms, a sizeable kitchen and a ground-floor bathroom.
Adjoining the cottage is a storeroom, which could be incorporated into the main house if desired.
To the first floor are two double bedrooms; however, the size of the plot more than justifies a larger dwelling and the property is crying out to be extended (STP), offering the potential to create a superb family home.
The property is situated in a rural yet accessible position on the eastern edge of Taunton and enjoys complete privacy and seclusion with views of open farmland.
The popular village of Stoke St Mary is within a mile and is a particularly sought after village offering a thriving community with many local clubs, organisations and amenities to include a pub and village hall.
Lower Henlade offers the dual benefits of an attractive rural community but is only about five minutes from Taunton town centre and Junction 25 of the M5 motorway.
Taunton being the county town, offers a comprehensive range of retail, leisure and scholastic facility’s with three noted public schools. Taunton also has a racecourse and thriving cricket ground.
Sedgemoor livestock market is at J24 of the M5 and the cities of Exeter and Bristol host international airports.
The property is approached directly from the public highway, leading to a gravelled parking and turning area adjacent to the house.
The driveway continues to the rear, where there is a concrete hardstanding and a former livestock building (15.3 m x 5.6 m), ideal for garaging, storage or potential conversion to an annexe (STP).
The gardens lie mainly to the front and side of the property and are predominantly laid to lawn, enclosed by established hedgerow boundaries.
The side gardens have more recently been left to nature and are now in need of restoration.
Additional Land A further parcel of land, shown shaded green on the attached plan, will be offered to the successful bidder for the sum of £40,000, if required.
