Six bedroom farmhouse with guide price of £19,000 sounds like a dream
The stone-built property in the bucolic cream tea setting of Cotleigh, near Honiton, Devon, is surely too good an opportunity to miss.
(Image: Paul Fosh Auctions) Sean Roper, of Newport-based Paul Fosh Auctions which is selling the property, said: 'This really is the one. It ticks all the boxes and probably even a few boxes that you may not have thought of if a West Country farmhouse is what you're after.
'This is a truly awesome farmhouse. If you're in the market for a place in the country then this surely must be at the top of your list.
(Image: Paul Fosh Auctions) 'The farmhouse offers an incredible opportunity to purchase what really is a one of its kind type property bursting with character and charm, rural yet set in close proximity to the bustling local town of Honiton in Devon.
(Image: Paul Fosh Auctions) 'This remarkable place, at Snodswell Farm, on Post Lane, Cotleigh, is set over three storeys meaning that there is loads of space for everyone to spread out.
'There is off road parking and front and rear gardens. The farmhouse, which is Grade II listed, has six bedrooms and truly breath-taking views to the rear over the surrounding Devon countryside.
'Naturally, in a house like this, there is a log burner and even the use of a communal outdoor swimming pool."
The property has a private library and lots of original features.
Mr Roper said: 'The property presents a great opportunity to buy, renovate and sell back on to the open market. Modernisation is required but would offer a great return with sales of large properties of this size selling locally in excess of £650,000."
The next Paul Fosh Auction, when this farmhouse and some 80-plus lots will be offered for sale, starts at noon on Tuesday, September 2, and ends from 5pm on Thursday, September 4.

Elon Musk's X Corp to settle $500 million lawsuit over Twitter firings
Elon Musk and his social media company X Corp have reached a tentative agreement to settle a lawsuit filed by former Twitter employees who said they were owed $500 million in severance pay. Attorneys for X Corp and the former Twitter employees reported the deal in a Wednesday court filing, in which both sides asked a US appeals court to delay an upcoming court hearing so that they could finalize a deal that would pay the fired employees and end the litigation. The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. Advertisement Musk fired approximately 6,000 employees after his 2022 acquisition of Twitter, which he rebranded X. Several employees sued over their terminations and severance pay, and other lawsuits are still pending in courts in Delaware and California. The settlement would resolve a proposed class action filed in California by Courtney McMillian, who previously oversaw Twitter's employee benefits programs as its "head of total rewards," and Ronald Cooper, who was an operations manager. A federal judge in San Francisco dismissed the employees' lawsuit in July 2024, and they appealed to the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Court of Appeals. The 9th Circuit had been scheduled to hear oral arguments on September 17th. Attorneys for Musk and McMillian did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Thursday. Advertisement The lawsuit argued that a 2019 severance plan guaranteed that most Twitter workers would receive two months of their base pay plus one week of pay for each full year of service if they were laid off. Senior employees such as McMillian were owed six months of base pay, according to the lawsuit. But Twitter only gave laid-off workers at most one month of severance pay, and many of them did not receive anything, according to the lawsuit. Twitter laid off more than half of its workforce as a cost-cutting measure after Musk acquired the company.

Plans to create 'train station quarter' in Scottish city centre
Network Rail, in partnership with its joint venture development partner blocwork, is working on the plans to create "new commercial office space" and "enhanced station retail space" in the 0.75 ha (1.85 acre) lot. The scheme intends to create an "enhanced Station Quarter improving the experience and station environment" for the estimated 15m million customers that currently use Glasgow Queen Street every year.

"Aligning with Glasgow's 2030 City Centre Strategy, the plans unlock and transform disused railway land at the heart of the city, to enhance the station and create modern, connected spaces for people to live and work.

Packaging firm's expansion plan for base near Forfar
Plans for a major redevelopment of a packaging firm's Angus premises have been revealed. Produce Packaging has its Scottish base at South Kingston in Kingsmuir, just east of Forfar. The company is a leading UK supplier of packaging for the fresh food industry. Its product range includes punnets, trays, sandwich packs and boxes. The Lincoln-based firm has been in operation for around 40 years. An application has now been submitted to Angus Council for an expansion of the village site. Produce Packaging wants to demolish existing buildings to create new warehousing and offices. Plans show a new 863 square metre warehouse alongside the company's existing facility. It would also include office space, a staff room and toilet/shower facilities. HGV parking and new entrance and exit gates are to be created. The site has a long business history. For many years it was the base of Forfar construction company Webster Contracts. The well-known firm was acquired by north-east housebuilder Scotia Homes in 2007 and retained as an Angus office. More recently, the premises were offered for let. Angus Council will decide on the Produce Packaging application in due course. Meanwhile, councillors recently approved a 139 child nursery plan for a three-storey Forfar building. The premises were Forfar Mart offices before being used by Angus Council.
