Do you fancy a complete lifestyle change? The opportunity comes up this month at Bigwood's latest auction.

On the market is The Stores, New Radnor, Powys, with a guide price of just £135,000.

The substantial property lies in a pretty village just across the border from Herefordshire into Wales.

Until November last year it was run as the village shop and butchers.

The shop has three sales room and store at the rear. The rest of the house is a good size, extending to three to four bedrooms, sitting room, fitted kitchen, garden room and rear garden. Planning permission has been granted for a two-bedroom cottage as an ancillary extension to the main house on the top lawn fronting Broad Street.

Tom Dennes, head of Bigwood Country Homes, said: "Someone buying this at auction could make a lifestyle move to the village and run the shop as their prime business with additional income coming from the cottage as a holiday let.

"With the Brecon Beacons on their doorstep it is a fantastic opportunity to escape the rate race, take it easy, breathe in the country air but have a small business at the same time.

"A get-away with a difference."

The auction is on Thursday, July 21, in the Holte Suite at the Villa Park Conference Centre, part of the Aston Villa football club complex on Trinity Road, Aston, Birmingham.

Bigwood is merging with Birmingham chartered surveyors Curry & Partners on September 1 to create CP Bigwood, the largest independent agency in the Midlands, with more than £2.5 billion of property under management.
