This would be a lovely project for someone. Like that stone flagged floor, though it would be blooming cold!

Or for another £25K, you get a different set of photos. https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/133747436#

With an EPC rating of G[1}, I think you're right about it being flippin' cold.

It’s been on the market since April 2023 at £275k. I think it’s right on the road with no drive. Double yellow lines on the road.

This is another piece of land being sold 'cheap', when it would be extremely valuable if planning permission could be obtained.

The listing seems to try to make it look tempting that planning permission could be obtained, but several attempts for planning permission have been made in the past and refused. The listing shows an artist's impression of houses being built on the site. There's also a map showing which houses want the site to stay the way it is, and which houses preferred 'improvements to the site' (which doesn't literally mean that they definitely approve of housing.)

Looking up the planning permission applications, I see the below:

(I realise that others can look up the applicant's name and address and the application number as they are public, but I decided to not post them myself.)

Auction starting price was reduced from £73k to £55K in the last month.

My guess: it will go lower. Just a guess, mind. 

The number of houses proposed in the planning applications went from 97, to 77, to 57. Still refused.

Honestly never seen so much pine! I wonder if the stone cladding is Victorian? Ugh.

All that pine cladding apart, the exterior wall cladding would be enough to put me off.
