• Detached Edwardian house requiring complete renovation
• Total plot of circa 0.8 acres
• Rural Village location
• Freehold with vacant possession
A unique opportunity to purchase a detached Edwardian house which is in need of complete renovation, but offers the potential for extension or redevelopment of the property (subject to planning permission).
The original building features brick elevations beneath a pitched slate covered roof, with the previous layout featuring the following accommodation;
Ground floor - Living Room, Kitchen, Cloakroom, Hall
First floor - 3 Bedrooms and a Shower Room.
The total internal area is approximately 1000ft² / 94m².
It is understood that the property is not listed, but it does lie within the Caldecote Conservation Area.
The current owner commenced renovation works, including stripping out the property and installing Helical-style supports to internal and external walls within the property. However a lack of time means that the opportunity now exists for a new buyer to undertake the works and complete the exciting project.
To the rear of the house are a collection of outbuildings including timber storage sheds, and 4 bay pole barn.
To the north west corner of the L-shaped site is understood to be the remnants of a second property, known as 'Bieldy Bungalow', for which only part of the chimney breast remains on site.
The generous plot features large areas of garden, mainly laid to grass but also featuring a number of trees, shrubs and plants, and is a true feature of the property.
Burrleigh House is in need of complete renovation but offers buyer an exciting opportunity to tailor this well located house to their needs.

Burrleigh House is ideally positioned opposite the picturesque village church in the desirable Cambridgeshire village of Caldecote. The house is set back and above the road and accessed via a steeply sloping private driveway.
The hamlet of Caldecote has limited facilities but shopping and schooling can be found in the villages of Toft and Highfields Caldecote which are approximately 2 miles away, while the city of Cambridge is approximately 7 miles to the east of the property.
The property has been completely stripped out and is therefore not habitable in its current condition.

* Generally speaking Guide Prices are provided as an indication of each seller's minimum expectation, i.e. 'The Reserve'. They are not necessarily figures which a property will sell for and may change at any time prior to the auction. Virtually every property will be offered subject to a Reserve (a figure below which the Auctioneer cannot sell the property during the auction) which we expect will be set within the Guide Range or no more than 10% above a single figure Guide.

By setting a proxy bid, the system will automatically bid on your behalf to maintain your position as the highest bidder, up to your proxy bid amount. If you are outbid, you will be notified via email so you can opt to increase your bid if you so choose.
If two of more users place identical bids, the bid that was placed first takes precedence, and this includes proxy bids.
Another bidder placed an automatic proxy bid greater or equal to the bid you have just placed. You will need to bid again to stand a chance of winning.
