Derelict cottage with 'magical' riverside location up for sale at auction

A derelict cottage on a secluded half-acre parcel of land beside the River Chew is set to go under the hammer at auction. Crickback Cottage is located in between Dumpers Lane and the High Street in Chew Magna.

"Crickback Cottage offers a rare, magical opportunity to breathe life back into a derelict riverside gem," Olly Hollis, of auctioneer Hollis Morgan, said.

"Tucked away on a half-acre plot and accessed via a charming stone bridge, it is the ultimate 'blank canvas' for those looking to create a bespoke sanctuary in the heart of Chew Magna!"

Crickback Cottage has a guide price of £150,000. People planning to bid on the home will be forced to roll the dice, with viewings not possible prior to auction due to its poor condition.

The property has pedestrian access only. It is derelict and has not been occupied for many years, but is thought to comprise a reception room and kitchen space on the ground floor with 2 bedrooms and a cloakroom on the first floor.

With summer and hopefully some sustained dry weather on the way, the lucky winning bidder could get straight to work restoring the cottage to an inhabitable state. Crickback Cottage's location at the heart of some of the West Country's most beautiful countryside is perfect for nature lovers, and it is also within easy commuting distance of Bristol and Bath.

The cottage will be sold via online auction on Wednesday April 22. You can check out some of the best pictures of the property, and its beautiful location, in our picture gallery below.
