Detached House for sale in Somerset
For sale by Public Auction on Thursday 28th May 2026 at Leigh Court, Pill Road, Abbots Leigh, BS8 3RA and online at 7.00pm.
Ash House presents an excellent opportunity for investors, developers and builders alike, offering clear potential for residential conversion and redevelopment. Comprising a substantial freehold building set within a generous and well-positioned plot in Highbridge, the property extends to approximately 3,027 sq ft and benefits from planning consent (Ref: 11/25/00118) for conversion into a 6-bedroom dwelling with an integrated annexe, providing a clear and deliverable scheme. The property is not listed, offering buyers greater flexibility when considering alterations or redevelopment (subject to the necessary consents).
A recent feasibility study also outlines a range of alternative options, including conversion into two dwellings (a 4-bedroom house and a 2-bedroom unit), or a more comprehensive scheme of three 2-bedroom units alongside the construction of two 3-bedroom new build houses within the grounds, subject to the necessary consents. There is further potential for HMO-style accommodation (approximately 5–8 units), again subject to the relevant permissions.
Externally, the property benefits from private and well-presented manicured grounds, providing a professional setting for staff and visiting clients. There is also excellent private on-site parking, with space for approximately six to eight vehicles, delivering valuable off-street parking for both employees and visitors.
Highbridge offers a range of local amenities including shops, a medical centre, pharmacies and pubs, with the popular seaside town of Burnham-on-Sea close by providing further retail and leisure facilities. The property is particularly well positioned for transport, with excellent access to the M5 motorway, offering convenient links to Bristol, Exeter and the wider South West.
