Derelict Thurston house with guide price of £60,000-£80,000 could sell at auction next month

House hunters could snap up a bargain at auction next month – but it’s fair to say the property in Thurston, near Bury St Edmunds, needs some work.

With a low guide price of £60,000-£80,000, Syringa, in Wyards Lane, will go under the hammer with Auction House East Anglia at 11am on May 1.

The two-bedroom detached house is situated on a 0.2-acre plot, with ‘potential to demolish and replace’ - subject to planning permission - according to Auction House.

One major selling point of the derelict 972sqft freehold property – other than that low guide price – are its rural views of surrounding countryside.

But take a closer look at some of the photos and you might notice the home’s dilapidated interior. Outside, ageing render has left the property’s structure exposed to the elements.

Meanwhile, also going under the hammer on May 1 is The Cottage, immediately next door to Syringa in Wyards Lane.

In a considerably better state of repair, The Cottage is a two-bedroom detached house with a guide price of £200,000-£220,000.

It is on a 0.13-acre plot with a conservatory, lounge with wood burner, dining room, large bathroom and two double bedrooms accessed via separate staircases.
