Description

Would you love to wake up to a priceless countryside view every day? This unique, detached house, is surrounded by the North Downs, where you can even see the popular Leeds Castle, making this arguably one of the finest views in the local vicinity. Originally used as a granary and constructed in the 17th century, this property was owned by Leeds Castle and subsequently converted into a substantial residential property in circa 1989/1990. Although the home is already of an impressive size, there is plenty of unexplored potential, especially for a loft conversion, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permission. Externally, there is ample off-road parking, suitable for multiple vehicles, as well as a double garage with electric garage door for convenience. We believe the property would also be ideal for multi-generational families, especially as there is already an integral 1-bedroom annexe, kitchen & lounge, ideal for relatives who was their own independence.

Seldom available, this impressive barn conversion is offered to the market at an attractive price, we expect this home to achieve in excess of the current guide price. Additionally, our seller has kindly put together further information, regarding the property, which can be shared on accompanied viewings.

For sale by Modern Method of Auction. Should you view, offer or bid on the property, your information will be shared with the Auctioneer, I am sold.

AUCTIONEER'S COMMENTS

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.

This method of auction requires both parties to complete the transaction within 56 days of the draft contract for sale being received by the buyers 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 being 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 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 payment of £349 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. The seller can instruct iamsold to agree a sale without a bidding process taking place or prior to a closing date. No further bids can be accepted after a buyer has paid a Reservation Fee
