Description

A door opens to a rear hallway off which is a basic utility room and cloakroom and access to the rear garden.  

From the dining room, are stairs up to the first floor landing which has views to the front over open countryside.  Off this, is a dual aspect double bedroom, a good size bathroom with bath, WC and hand wash basin and also a large storage cupboard.   Also off the landing is a second, walk through dual aspect double bedroom that leads to a third double.

Alternatively, we will be pleased to check the information for you.  These Particulars do not constitute a contract or part of a contract.  All measurements quoted are approximate.  The Fixtures, Fittings & Appliances have not been tested and therefore no guarantee can be given that they are in working order.  Photographs are reproduced for general information and it cannot be inferred that any item shown is included.  No guarantee can be given that any planning permission or listed building consent or building regulations have been applied for or approved.

2. The Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017 require all Estate Agents to obtain sellers’ and buyers’ identity.

3.  In the unlikely situation of our client considering an offer prior to auction, a premium price would have to be put forward and the purchaser would be required to sign the contract and put down a 10% deposit and pay the Buyers Administration Charge, well in advance of the auction date.  An offer will not be considered unless a potential buyer has read the legal pack and is in a position to immediately sign the contract.  The seller is under no obligation to accept such an offer.   It should be noted that Clarke and Simpson cannot keep all interested parties updated and at times will be instructed to accept an offer and exchange contracts without going back to any other parties first. 

4. Additional fees:  Buyers Administration Charge - £900 including VAT (see Buying Guide).  Disbursements - please see the Legal Pack for any disbursements listed that may become payable by the purchaser upon completion.

5.  The guide price is an indication of the sellers minimum expectations.  This is not necessarily the figure that the property will sell for and may change at any time prior to the auction.  The property will be offered subject to a reserve (a figure below which the auctioneer cannot sell the property during the auction) which we will expect to be set within the guide range of no more than 10% above a single figure guide.
