A substantial three-bedroom cottage with a separate annexe near Bognor Regis has fetched £375,000 at auction.

Early Cottage in Shripney Road was among 180 lots in the latest auction held by one of the top five property auctioneers in the UK, Clive Emson Land and Property Auctioneers.

Auction Appraiser Joe Rocks said: “The new owner has acquired a substantial property with plenty of potential.

“Its separate annexe has a garage with one-bedroom accommodation above and its own kitchen and bathroom.

“It offers possibilities for Airbnb use, a self-contained flat, or even for extension to form a completely separate dwelling, subject to all necessary consents being obtainable.”

Early Cottage was listed with a freehold guide price of £360,000 to £380,000. The three-bedroom property is detached with a full wrap-around garden and a driveway at the front large enough for six vehicles.
