Greenslade Taylor Hunt were delighted with the success of their first property auction of 2024 at the Shrubbery Hotel, Ilminster, on February 29.

Prior to the sale a unique plot of land in in the heart of Shepton Mallet was sold in a pre-auction deal for in excess of the £7,500 guide. Due to its central location, it offered a number of potential uses, subject to the necessary planning consents.

On sale day itself, the firm offered an excellent range of re-development opportunities.

The undoubted highlight was a remarkable four-bedroom Georgian townhouse, in need of complete renovation, set within the historic and prestigious Wyatt Court, Hinton St George.

Spirited bidding for the property, in the sought-after village, which comprised 4,200 sq ft of accommodation, parking, garage and garden saw the hammer come down at £225,000.

An excited buyer secured a former public house in the desirable village of Ashill, Ilminster, requiring complete modernisation for £220,000 - £20,000 above the guide.

A former garden centre/café at Birchfield Road, Yeovil, offering an excellent re-development opportunity with potential for a number of uses, also sold for over the guide at £39,000. 

Greenslade Taylor Hunt’s next property auctions include Batch Country House, Lympsham, near Weston-super-Mare on Wednesday, March 27, Thursday 25th April at the Shrubbery Hotel, Ilminster, and Wednesday 22nd May at the Aldwick Estate, Redhill, Blagdon, Bristol.
