Bowlish, Bowlish, Shepton Mallet, Somerset, BA4 5JB
Situated within the historic hamlet of Bowlish on the western edge of Shepton Mallet, this substantial eight-bedroom hotel has welcomed residents, travellers, diners, wedding parties and private guests for generations. Behind its elegant and beautifully balanced façade lies a wonderfully characterful collection of bedrooms, reception rooms, dining and entertaining spaces.
The hotel accommodation comprises eight individually presented bedrooms, offering guests a distinctive alternative to standardised chain-hotel accommodation. The rooms vary in size, design and character, making them suitable for leisure stays, wedding guests, exclusive-use bookings and private group accommodation. Their individuality forms an important part of the Bowlish House experience and provides an excellent foundation for a boutique hospitality operator wishing to develop a strong and memorable brand. Prospective purchasers should refer to the floorplans and legal documentation for the precise room arrangement, bathroom provision and accommodation schedule.

ONLINE AUCTION NOTICE
I hereby acknowledge and confirm the following:
My bid may be accepted by the seller at any time before the close of the auction. It is subject to the terms and conditions of the auction which I have read and understood. I have read and understood the legal pack applicable to my bid/lot and agree to be bound by any special conditions within that pack.
If my bid is successful (whether as the highest bid or upon acceptance by the seller in the course of the auction) I shall be bound by the lot terms and conditions as advertised online.
Any amount payable at the close of the auction must be paid within 1 hour.
Please note that the bidding process will work in a different way to an eBay auction, so there is NO advantage to bidding at the last second.
Each auction will automatically stay open until there has not been a bid within the final 10 minutes. If no bid has been submitted within the final 10 minutes of the auction, the auction will close and the highest bidder will be successful subject to the reserve price being met or upon acceptance of an offer by the seller throughout the auction cycle. If there is another bid within 10 minutes of the last bid, the auction countdown timer will be restarted for another 10 minutes to allow further bidding. This system avoids last-minute (or second) bidding and makes for a fairer auction as in a live-room auction situation.
Please bid in good time before the end of the auction, delaying your bid to the last seconds may disadvantage you if your connection slows or you lose internet connectivity.
The auctioneer is not responsible for any tech issues, power outage or error messages which hampers or eliminates an individual's opportunity to bid.
It is the bidder's responsibility to ensure the bid has been lodged with the auctioneer. It is therefore beneficial to bid on your chosen lot at your earliest opportunity.
The auctioneer accepts no responsibility for bids that are not received or are received late and reserves the right to reject any bid without notice.
Minimum online bidding increments:
£50,000 - £250 minimum bid
