About
Offered to the market with no onward chain, this unique and highly versatile detached chalet style bungalow occupies a substantial plot and presents an exciting opportunity for buyers seeking space, flexibility and the chance to create a truly special home.
Extending to approximately 2,267 sq.ft, the property provides adaptable accommodation currently arranged as four/five bedrooms, making it ideal for growing families, multi-generational living, or those requiring dedicated work-from-home space.
The ground floor offers generously proportioned living accommodation including a spacious living room, separate dining room, kitchen, utility room, family bathroom and further reception room which could equally serve as a fifth bedroom.
Two well-sized bedrooms are also located on the ground floor, whilst the first floor hosts two impressive principal bedrooms, both benefitting from en-suite facilities and access to a substantial balcony overlooking the rear grounds.
Externally, the property continues to impress with extensive parking to the front and sizeable gardens to the rear.
The outside space incorporates a number of useful outbuildings and a swimming pool which has not been used for some time and may require attention, but presents further potential for enhancement.
Whilst the property would benefit from a degree of modernisation and improvement throughout, it offers an exceptional opportunity for a purchaser to add value and tailor the accommodation to their own tastes and requirements.
Properties offering this level of space, flexibility and plot size rarely come to market, and internal viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the potential on offer.
This property is for sale by the Modern Method of Auction. Should you view, offer or bid on the property, your information will be shared with the Auctioneer, iamsold Limited.
This method of auction requires both parties to complete the transaction within 56 days of the draft contract for sale being received by the buyer's solicitor.
This additional time allows buyers to proceed with mortgage finance (subject to lending criteria, affordability and survey).
The buyer is required to sign a reservation agreement and make payment of a non-refundable Reservation Fee.
This is 4.5% of the purchase price including VAT, subject to a minimum of £6,600.00 including VAT.
The Reservation Fee is paid in addition to the purchase price and will be considered as part of the chargeable consideration for the property in the calculation for stamp duty liability.
Buyers will be required to go through an identification verification process with iamsold and provide proof of how the purchase would be funded.
This property has a Buyer Information Pack which is a collection of documents in relation to the property.
The documents may not tell you everything you need to know about the property, so you are required to complete your own due diligence before bidding.
A sample copy of the Reservation Agreement and terms and conditions are also contained within this pack.
The buyer will also make a payment of £300 including VAT towards the preparation cost of the pack, where it has been provided by iamsold.
The property is subject to an undisclosed Reserve Price with both the Reserve Price and Starting Bid being subject to change.
