Auction will see piece of woodland in Wickham and derelict house in Fareham go under the hammer

Bidding is live from Monday, May 3, with the auction ending on Wednesday, May 5 for the next Clive Emson land and property auction.

Among its 135 lots is a gravel pit copse next to a golf course in Titchfield Lane, Wickham, guided freehold at £40,000-plus.

Rob Marchant, Clive Emson’s Hampshire auctioneer and a member of Portsmouth Property Association, said: ‘We anticipate keen interest from bidders who wish to own a slice of wooded Hampshire – the site has been largely left to nature in more recent times and you may find a few lost golf balls.’

Also listed is a mixed commercial and residential investment at 5 High Street, Fareham guided freehold at £420-450,000 and was previously let at £34,200 per annum.

Rob said: ‘The ground floor unit is let to a hair salon, under a 10-year commercial lease at £16,800 per annum. One of the flats above has two bedrooms, the other one. Both have a living room, kitchen and a shower room with WC.’

A semi-derelict house on a quarter acre plot at 3 Segensworth Road, Fareham, is guided freehold at £170,000-plus and has four bedrooms.

Rob said: ‘The house is not considered habitable because it is in a poor state of repair. A prospective purchaser may wish to save the property, which is on an attractive plot. Alternatively, subject to planning consents, the site may be suitable for redevelopment.’

A ground floor flat, with allocated parking and a lock-up store, at 1 Everell Court, Clarendon Road, Southsea, is leasehold with a guide price of £80-85,000. It is currently let at £7,140 per annum.

A two-bedroom first floor flat at 125A High Street, Gosport, currently let at £7,200 per annum, is guided leasehold at £85-90,000.

Guided at £130,000-plus, a two-bedroom leasehold flat at 22A Claire Gardens, Clanfield, Waterlooville, is let at £7,728 per annum, with a ground rental of £25 per annum.

Rob said: ‘The flat, on a 99-year year from 1974 and in a cul-de-sac, is considered ideal for addition to an income-producing property portfolio.’

Myrtle Cottage at 35 Church Road, Steep, near Petersfield, was built in 1887 and is guided freehold at £360-390,000.

Rob said: ‘Myrtle Cottage has the advantage of a planning consent for a two-storey rear extension and these works have been commenced but require completion, beyond which the reward will be a splendid dwelling for occupation, or perhaps for letting or holiday use.

‘Myrtle Cottage is sited on a plot which enjoys the benefit of off-road car parking to the front and attractive open views to the rear.’
