Joe Rocks, auction appraiser, said: "We have been instructed by trustees to auction Whitegates Boarfield, which stands on more than three-quarters of an acre in a semi-rural area and has a separate workshop and garage.

"With vacant possession, the bungalow is chalked for improvement or, subject to planning consents, redevelopment.

"Outside there are large gardens in need of cultivation with views to the east, south and west across neighbouring farmland.

"There is a large workshop/storage garage as well as a driveway and parking for multiple vehicles.

"Whitegates Boarfield is located close to the villages of Over Wallop and Middle Wallop, with Andover six miles to the north-east and Salisbury 10 miles to the south-west."

The online auction will close on Thursday, September 18, with bidding open for 48 hours prior to the deadline.
