Rob Marchant, the firm’s Isle of Wight auctioneer, said: “This substantial plot is situated close to Brading Roman Villa and sits within the settlement boundary of the village."
“Pre-application planning advice has been sought on the larger of the parcels for the construction of two, five-bedroom and three, four-bedroom detached houses and two semi-detached three bedroom houses.
“Alternatively prospective purchasers may wish to consider alternative schemes, perhaps including the retention of the existing cottage.”
Joint auctioneers are Gully Howard.
A rural thatched cottage located on 0.4 acres has returned to auction.
The freehold detached home in Kingston Road, Kingston, near Shorwell, has a guide price of £230,000-plus.
Mike Marchant, a senior auction appraiser with Clive Emson Auctioneers, said: “The cottage, with the guide price lowered by £20,000, requires a programme of significant upgrading and refurbishment but is considered very worthy of the works required beyond which it would be ideally suited to owner occupation or use as a weekend retreat/holiday home or perhaps for commercial holiday letting.
“Adjoining the cottage is the remains of a stone barn which has potential for restoration or, perhaps, for alternative uses, subject to all necessary consents being obtainable.
“Stone Cottage enjoys a pleasant rural outlook particularly from the front elevation and has a plot measuring 0.43 acres, which includes the footprint of the former barn.”

A commercial investment at 2 High Street, Sandown, has a guide price of £110-120,000 and is let at £12,000 per annum.
Mike said: “This attractive corner property occupies a prime position on the corner of the High Street and Pier Street, which as the name suggests leads down to the esplanade and Sandown Pier.
“The property is let on a commercial lease to Lulu’s on the ground floor, producing a healthy income. Both of the flats above are sold on long leases.”
Guided freehold at £280-300,000 is a three-bedroom holiday bungalow called Sedum Cottage at Buckbury Lane, Newport.
- The auction by Clive Emson Auctioneers ends on Wednesday, 14 December, with bidding live 48 hours beforehand. It is the firm’s eighth auction of the year.
