The existing bungalow is in good condition, and extends to around 3000 sq. ft. It is well laid out and includes three reception rooms, including a large living room with a vaulted ceiling. There is a well-appointed kitchen with a large central island, utility and boot room. Plus 4/5 bedrooms with two en-suites and a family bathroom, and a shower room.

All buyers must familiarise themselves with the following important information and make all the necessary investigations and enquiries relating to the same before making an offer.

Important information:

1. Mains services: We are advised that some services are on site; however, it will be the buyer’s responsibility to establish the suitability and availability of all services, and the buyer must cover all costs associated with services.

2. Planning permission: The plot benefits from full planning permission, under ref: 24/01754/FUL, the buyer must satisfy themselves regarding planning and all pre-commencement conditions.

3. The buyer must covenant to construct the consented scheme, however, non-material amendments and changes to the internal layout will be considered, subject to written consent. Consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

4. The buyer must covenant not to permit any temporary accommodation on the site.
