4 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

Guide Price: £600,000-£625,000

Located in the picturesque Derbyshire village of Whaley is School Bell Cottage, a truly outstanding four-bedroom family home. Built in 1860, what was the school hall has been painstakingly renovated to the highest standard, retaining many of the original features. Situated in 1/3 acre of beautiful grounds, the property combines flexible accommodation with stunning outdoor space.

The open plan kitchen dining room is undoubtedly the heart of the home, linking both the lounge and garden room. Finished with oak worktops, a range cooker and stone flooring, it’s a great space for all the family to come together. You also have a convenient utility room and all the finishes are first class, with oak internal doors, staircase and flooring. A family room can be utilised as a fourth bedroom and has a shower room with storage which could be perfect for guests. Moving upstairs, all the bedrooms are well proportioned doubles all of which have fitted wardrobes. The dual aspect principal bedroom benefits from a vaulted ceiling and fabulous countryside views. A four-piece bathroom includes a jacuzzi shower and separate roll top bath.

The grounds are equally impressive and perfect for entertaining. The decked terrace leads down to a substantial lawn & ornamental pond, with mature trees providing privacy. The garden cabin features a bar and wood-burning stove, and has a fresh water stream running alongside. The property also benefits from a generous double garage with electric door, together with a gated driveway which can accommodate multiple vehicles.

Surrounded by countryside, the village of Whaley lies within a conservation area. You have neighbouring villages and towns within easy reach with a variety of local shops/amenities and both Chesterfield & Mansfield are a short drive away.

REDBRIK SECUREMOVE™ - IMPORTANT PLEASE READ:

Redbrik is marketing this Property with the benefit of Redbrik SecureMove™. Redbrik has introduced SecureMove™ to help speed up the sales process, minimise sale fall-throughs and give more certainty to both the Seller and the Buyer.

Purchasers will benefit from the Buyer Information Pack (BIP), which we have created with our legal partners, to give buyers more information before they agree to purchase.

The pack includes:

Property Information Questionnaire (PIQ - a summary of the TA6)

TA10 (Fittings and Contents)

Official Copy of the Register

Title Plan

Local Search*

Water and Drainage Search*

Coal and Mining Search*

Environmental Search*

(Redbrik has ordered the local, drainage, coal and environmental searches; we will add these to the BIP as they become available)

Redbrik SecureMove™ allows the sale process to be completed significantly quicker than a ‘normal sale’. This is because the legal work, usually done in the first four to eight weeks after the sale is agreed, has already been completed. The searches, which can take up to five weeks, are ordered on the day the listing goes live and are transferable to the successful Buyer as part of their legal due diligence.

Additionally, and on behalf of the Seller, Redbrik requests that the successful Buyer enters into a Reservation Agreement and pays the Reservation Agreement Fee of £595 (including VAT). This includes payment for the Buyer Information Pack and all the searches (which a buyer typically purchases separately after the sale is agreed).

Upon receipt of the signed Reservation Agreement, payment of the Reservation Agreement Fee, completion of ID and AML checks and the issuing of the Memorandum of Sale, the Seller will agree to take the Property off the market and market it as Sold Subject To Contract (SSTC).

During the Reservation Agreement period, the Seller will reject all offers and not enter into another agreement with any other buyer. The reservation period is agreed upon at the time of sale but is usually between 60 and 120 days.

The Reservation Fee is non-refundable except where the Seller withdraws from the sale. A copy of the Reservation Agreement is available on request, and Redbrik advises potential buyers to seek legal advice before entering into the Reservation Agreement.

If you have any questions about the process or want to know how selling or buying with Redbrik SecureMove™ could benefit you, please speak to a member of the Redbrik team.
