A sprawling five-bedroom home located in the countryside near Bristol Airport is set to go under the hammer at auction. The property in Hewish, a small village in North Somerset between the airport and Weston-Super-Mare, is available for a guide price of £250,000.
Known as Hewish Court, the stone house is situated on a 2.91 acre parcel of land. It is in need of extensive refurbishment, which is why it is available for a cut-down rate relative to its size.
Auctioneer Olly Hollis, of Hollis Morgan auction house, said the property represented a great opportunity for a potential buyer willing to put in the hard yards needed to modernise it.

“For me Hewish Court is the very definition of potential with scope to create a stunning family home in this charming semi rural position, it will be fascinating to see what happens at the auction,” he said.
Hewish Court comprises a square-shaped main building around a central courtyard, with stables and outbuildings alongside a large barn which could be used as a garage. It has been vacant for a number of years.

Along with offering the potential for a huge detached family home, it could also be converted into a small number of individual units, subject to planning consent. The property backs onto open fields.

Along with the airport, Hewish is also conveniently located just a mile and a half from the M5. Hewish Court will be sold via an online auction on Wednesday November 19 at 12pm.
The Rightmove listing states: “The property has been vacant for a number of years and now requires complete modernisation but has huge potential. There is scope for either an outstanding detached family home or a development of smaller individual units. All subject to gaining the necessary planning consents.”
Planning records show that the conversion of farm buildings into a dwelling was approved by North Somerset Council in 1996.
