FOR years, drivers on a Somerset road have been left stumped as they pass the remnants of two unfinished houses.
The skeleton properties sit behind fencing off the A371, at Bratton Seymour, between Castle Cary and Wincanton.
Passing drivers have long debated whether anything would become of the shell buildings on the site – and now they know.
The plot, which extends to around 1.25 acres, is up for sale. It is being marketed by Tim Phillips, with an asking price of £1.45 million.
Planning consent has been approved for a 7,500sq ft country house, with a 2,736sq ft cottage – the shells of which are on the plot.
“There is also the option for the house to be built and finished to a buyers specification – please enquiry regarding the cost of the finished home,” the listing said.
However, Bratton Hall, as it is listed as, could be fully constructed as per the images at a price of £9,500,000, it added.

Wow, that’s “marketing” at the highest level! £9.5M with a house within a stones throw and a main road …! No thanks. This is on the back of The Newt being just down the road and the developer/marketer can piggy back off their success. Shame the same developer wasn’t looking out for the plot when it was left abandoned with unsecured roofs blowing off during the months it was left with only scaffolding surrounding the site.
