Description

Having been offered at auction, this property is now available for immediate sale. Post auction offers are invited. Early enquiries are encouraged. Please contact the office to arrange a viewing - Set within approximately 1.77 acres, the property occupies an appealing rural position with a generous plot offering a blend of open grounds and natural surroundings. The setting provides a sense of privacy and space, whilst remaining accessible to nearby villages and amenities.

The existing dwelling comprises a modest single-storey property offering simple accommodation, including a living room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. In addition, there is a cedar wood chalet, an open wood store, and an outbuilding positioned to the rear of the chalet, providing useful storage and flexibility.

Whilst the current accommodation is functional, the true appeal of the property lies in the opportunity it presents. Full planning permission has been granted for the redevelopment and significant extension of the existing dwelling, creating a substantial and well-designed family home.

The approved scheme introduces a thoughtfully arranged layout extending to include multiple reception rooms, a spacious open-plan living area, and four bedrooms, two with en-suite facilities. The design has been carefully considered to combine traditional architectural styling with modern living requirements, resulting in a property well suited to contemporary family life.

The plot itself is a key feature, extending to approximately 1.77 acres, and offers excellent potential for landscaping, gardens, and further enhancement, subject to the necessary consents. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a property with both immediate use and significant future potential in an attractive rural location.

 Auction Terms

This property is offered through a traditional auction. Should you view, offer or bid your data will be shared with the Auctioneer, Sheldon Bosley Knight Auctions. The property will unless previously withdrawn, be sold subject to the Special and General Conditions of Sale, which have been settled by the Vendor’s Solicitor and are contained within the Auction Legal Pack. This pack is available to download to registered bidders. Please contact either Nock Deighton or Sheldon Bosley Knight Auctions for details on how to register to bid. The conditions may also be inspected in the Sale Room at the time of the sale but they will not then be read. The purchaser shall be deemed to bid on those terms whether he shall have inspected the Conditions or not.

The sale of this property will take place on the stated date by way of a live, in-room auction and is being sold as Unconditional with a Fixed Fee. Some sellers may consider a pre-auction offer, and the Lot may be sold or withdrawn before the auction.

Binding contracts of sale will be exchanged at the point of sale.

Auction Deposit and Fees

The following deposits and non-refundable auctioneer’s fee apply. These will need to be paid to the auctioneer on exchange of contracts:

·  10% deposit (subject to a minimum of £5,000)

Guide Price & Reserve Price

The guide price offers an indication of the price below which the vendor is not willing to sell. It is not necessarily the exact final sale price and is subject to change prior to and up until the day of the auction. Any change in the guide price will reflect a change in the reserve (a figure below which the auctioneer will not be able to sell). The reserve can be expected to be set within the guide range or not more than 10% above a single-figure guide. (RICS Common Auction Conditions 4th Edition).
