Description

Park Farm comprises a detached five bedroom house of circa 1,950 sq ft (181 sqm) which now requires modernising and updating throughout.  The dwelling is Grade II listed and believed to date from the late 16th century. It is predominantly of timber frame construction with rendered elevations. Given the extent of the site the property occupies, Park Farmhouse could lend itself to being reconfigured and extended, subject to the necessary consents.  In addition, Park Farm benefits from a good range of former agricultural buildings, of varying condition, that could provide useful storage facilities or serve equine or livestock interests.  There is scope, subject to the necessary consents, for residential use. Neither the sellers nor the agents have investigated this. The property is not being sold with any overage clause. Park Farm also offers areas of garden and parcels of grassland/potential paddocks.  In all, Park Farm extends to approximately 13.5 acres.

Outside

Park Farm is set well back from the road and approached via a single driveway that leads to a parking and turning area in front of the farmhouse.  Ponds and agricultural buildings flank the driveway.  

Park Farm is immediately surrounded by mature trees which provide a good degree of privacy. A pathway leads from the rear doorway to the agricultural buildings and barns.

The extensive grounds, that extend to almost 13.5 acres, and which surround the property have been laid to pasture for a number of years. These could therefore provide scope for potential equestrian use. The gardens are not subdivided, enabling easy access all the way around the farmhouse. Mature trees and shrubs separate the meadows from the adjoining agricultural land. 

To the rear of Park Farm is a range of former agricultural and storage buildings.  These vary in nature and style. A summary of the buildings is set out in the schedule below.

NOTES

1.  Every care has been taken with the preparation of these particulars, but complete accuracy cannot be guaranteed.  If there is any point, which  is of particular importance to you, please obtain professional confirmation. 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. The agents have not been made aware of any covenants or restrictions that may impact the property, unless stated otherwise.  Any site plans used in the particulars are indicative only and buyers should rely on the Land Registry/transfer plan. 

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.  

6. This is a probate sale and probate has been granted. One of the executors is a partner of Clarke & Simpson.

Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted

    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
