A ‘CHARMING’ home in Dorset could be yours for less than £200,000 when it goes under the hammer.
The two-bedroom property, based on Dinah’s Hollow, Melbury Abbas near Shaftesbury, has been put up for auction with a guide price of £180,000 by Whoobid.
Whoobid say the detached property is ‘a charming cottage in need of some updating with scope to extend’ set within a rural hamlet.
The property’s brochure notes that the cottage can be modernised and expanded by a new buyer, subject to planning permission from Dorset Council.
The character cottage, which has off-road parking, is accessed via a footpath and driveway.

The ground floor contains an entrance hall, living and dining room with an open fireplace, kitchen with a range of base and wall-mounted storage units, and access to a rear garden. The kitchen leads to a rear porch which houses the oil-fired boiler.
Leading up the stairs to the first floor are its two bedrooms and a bathroom.
Around the property is its garden, which is ‘surrounded by mature planting’ which ‘gently slopes down to a stream at the bottom of the garden.’
Outside there is an outbuilding that has a toilet and a Belfast sink with space for conversion into a possible utility space.
The detached garage, which was used as a workshop, offers more storage to the occupants.
The property will be sold through a modern auction, which means that upon the acceptance of an offer or at the close of the auction, the successful buyer must place a non refundable reservation fee to the agents to reserve the property.
The auction will start at 2pm on Thursday, July 29, but the vendors will consider bids before the auction.
Viewings can be booked through Whoobid. More information can be found through this link - https://www.whoobid.co.uk/accueil/auction/818
