Fancy a Grand Designs-style challenge at a Somerset cemetery lodge?

A CEMETERY lodge in South Somerset in need of complete modernisation could be the dream project for someone seeking their own Grand Designs-style challenge.

Property auctioneers Greenslade Taylor Hunt (GTH) have unveiled an “enchanting and rare opportunity” to acquire a two-bedroom detached property in Ilminster – which is going under the hammer at the firm’s next property auction.

Samuel Powell, who is marketing the property, said the lodge requires complete modernisation, but offers the opportunity to create a “one-off home with breath-taking views”.

“Cemetery Lodge offers a unique chance for someone looking for privacy and an exciting blank canvas on which to stamp their creativity,” he added.

The property has a guide price of £180,000 and will be offered for sale at Sedgemoor Auction Centre, Junction 24, North Petherton, on Thursday, September 25.

It is among 24 lots which include agricultural land, property and commercial premises.
