4 bedroom detached house for sale

WITH LAND - A detached 4 bedroom property with 9.76 acres (TBV*) of pastureland plus stables set within the gardens of the property and occupying a rural position off a lane/track, amidst the countryside of the North Downs in walking distance of the desirable village of Tatsfield. The property is in need of some interior updating and re-decoration but is generally well maintained.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROPERTY - The property has had two insurance claims relating to subsidence, the first some 20 years ago. The subsidence we understand was due to a large tree/s to the rear and side of the property which was removed. The second claim was to make good on the affected wall etc in 2023. The paperwork relating to the first claim has not been found by the Executor of the Will but all the later (2023/24) work / paperwork is available on request.
As a result, it is highly unlikely that the property will be insurable against further subsidence in the future. A specialist insurer may be able to help, but this would have to be investigated by any prospective buyers. Furthermore, it is unlikely that a ‘mainstream’ lender would offer a mortgage due to the subsidence. There may be certain specialist mortgage companies who would consider lending.

The adjacent LIVERY YARD is not being sold with the property and has been purchased by a developer who have gained planning permission for the livery yard to be converted into 3 single storey properties. The commencement of work is likely to be in the Summer of 2025. However the main pastureland across the lane/track remains with the residence as part of the sale. No Chain. eip.
