The brochure’s photos appear to show the bungalow has been claimed by nature, with ivy and plants growing on the large cottage and overgrown vegetation in the surrounding gardens.

Inside the property, there is exposed flooring and ceilings, walls require extensive repairs and the house appears to have suffered from water damage. A number of dated items also appear to be inside the bungalow.

Accessed via a road off the A35, the property occupies a secluded position.

The bungalow measures 750sqft (70sqm) contains kitchen, sitting room, two bedrooms and a bathroom.

Despite the extensive repairs and complete renovation required, the auctioneers describe the lot as being in a ‘highly sought-after village’.

The brochure adds: “The site is located on the edge of the highly sought-after village of Bloxworth which offers a popular village inn.

“There are a number of footpaths and bridleways locally to explore the surrounding area.”

This rural property will go under the hammer after 12pm on Friday, September 24.
