Property for sale

Burnham Road, Highbridge, Somerset TA9

For sale by Public Auction on Thursday 28th May 2026 at Leigh Court, Pill Road, Abbots Leigh, BS8 3RA and online at 7.00pm.

Ash House offers an excellent redevelopment opportunity, comprising a substantial freehold building set within a generous and well-positioned plot in Highbridge. The property extends to approximately 3,027 sq ft and benefits from planning consent (Ref: 11/25/00118) for conversion into a 6-bedroom dwelling with an integrated annexe, providing a clear and deliverable scheme. The property is not listed, offering buyers greater flexibility when considering alterations or redevelopment (subject to the necessary consents).

A recent feasibility study also outlines alternative options, including conversion into two dwellings (a 4-bedroom house and a 2-bedroom unit), or a more comprehensive scheme of three 2-bedroom units alongside the construction of two 3-bedroom new build houses within the grounds, subject to the necessary consents. There is further potential for HMO-style accommodation (approximately 5–8 units), again subject to the relevant permissions.

Externally, the property benefits from private and well-presented manicured grounds, providing a professional setting for staff and visiting clients. There is also excellent private on-site parking, with space for approximately six to eight vehicles, delivering valuable off-street parking for both employees and visitors.

Highbridge benefits from local amenities including shops, medical centre, pharmacies, pubs and a community hall with the bustling seaside town of Burnham-on-Sea also within reach which offers further facilities close by.
