Lots of potential

A former butcher’s shop and slaughterhouse, land and buy-to-let opportunities are among the gems at Sheldon Bosley Knight’s July auction.

A total of 10 lots are available at the sale at Hinckley Golf Club on Wednesday, July 30.

The stand-out is Tugby House in Tugby, Leicestershire. This exceptional, mixed use property occupies a plot of just under half an acre and features a house, the former local butcher’s shop and slaughterhouse for the village and two lairage rooms.

It has been in the seller’s family ownership since the start of the 20th century and offers a huge amount of potential for development (subject to necessary planning permissions).

The house features four spacious bedrooms, hallway, drawing room, kitchen, pantry and storage room with access to the old shop space.

With a guide price of just £350,000, this has already had a great deal of interest and is unlikely to hang around.

Elsewhere in the sale, there are three parcels of land on offer in Evesham, Avon Dassett and Syston near Leicester. These offer a variety of uses including equestrian, smallholding, extra garden space or for the construction of a building, subject to the necessary planning permissions.

For those looking for a beautiful home in the Cotswolds, Pike Cottage in Broadway (main picture) may be just the ticket.

Situated at the top of the no-through upper High Street, this stunning Grade II listed characterful home is built from mellow Cotswold stone. It has three bedrooms, a cosy sitting room and a beautiful rear garden complete with greenhouse and shed/workshop, summerhouse and gazebo.

With a guide price of £960,000 it offers great potential to personalise and own a slice of Cotswold life.

There are also a selection of buy-to-let opportunities available including a three-bedroom terrace in Arbury Road, Nuneaton. It is offered with a tenant in situ and currently achieves a rental income of £800 pcmx with a yield of just under 9% based on the auction guide price of £110,000.

The property has a traditional terraced layout with lounge, understairs storage, dining room with stairs leading to the first floor and kitchen diner. To the first floor there are three well-proportioned bedrooms and the family bathroom. Externally the property is complete with easy-to-maintain front and rear gardens.
