Its generous footprint allows clear areas for sleeping and additional furniture, with the staircase opening directly into the room.

The second bedroom
The second bedroom is a well proportioned double room on the first floor. A window overlooks the front of the home across open fields, while two built-in wardrobes allow the room to accommodate additional furniture comfortably.

The third bedroom
Suited to use as a single bedroom, nursery or home office, the third bedroom adds valuable flexibility to the first floor. Its window faces the rear garden and the straightforward layout makes practical use of the space.

The bathroom
The spacious bathroom brings together a contemporary four piece suite within a generous first floor setting. A freestanding bath and separate walk-in shower enclosure provide a choice of bathing facilities, accompanied by a WC and vanity unit with twin basins. Panelled walls and patterned flooring complete the room, while a window provides ventilation.

The garden
Extending behind the home, the generous garden provides a substantial outdoor area with scope for recreation, gardening and seating. A broad lawn is accompanied by mature trees, established boundary planting and paved areas beside the property. A low stone retaining wall adds definition near the home, while timber sheds provide useful space for garden equipment.

The driveway and parking
A large parking area extends along the side of the property, providing off road space for multiple vehicles.

Fees

A reservation fee, refundable on exchange, is payable prior to the issue of the Memorandum of Sale and after which the property may be marked as Sold Subject to Contract. The fee will be reimbursed upon the successful Exchange of Contracts.

The fee will be retained by Andrew Grant in the event that you the Buyer withdraws from the purchase or does not Exchange within 6 months of the fee being received other than for one or more of the following reasons:

1. Any significant material issues which individually are more than 1% of the agreed purchase price and are highlighted in a survey and were not evident or drawn to the attention of you, the Buyer, prior to the Memorandum of Sale being issued.
2. Serious and material defect in the seller’s legal title.

4. The vendor withdrawing the property from sale.

The reservation fee will be 0.5% of the accepted offer price for offers below £800,000 and 1% for offers of £800,000 or over. This fee, unless specified otherwise, is payable upon acceptance by the vendor of an offer from a buyer and completion of an assessment of the buyer’s financial status and ability to proceed.

Should a buyer’s financial position regarding the funding of the property prove to be fundamentally different from that declared by the buyer when the Memorandum of Sale was completed, then the Vendor has the right to withdraw from the sale and/or the reservation fee retained. For example, where the buyer declares themselves as a cash buyer but are in fact relying on an unsecured sale of their property. The reservation fee will not be refunded where there is an inability on the part of the Buyer to raise any required mortgage after the Memorandum of Sale is completed.

Once the reservation fee has been paid, any renegotiation of the price stated in the memorandum of sale for any reason other than those covered in points 1 to 3 above will lead to the reservation fee being retained. A further fee will be levied on any subsequent reduced offer that is accepted by the vendor. This further fee will be subject to the same conditions that prevail for all reservation fees outlined above.

The Compliance and Verification Fee becomes due immediately upon acceptance of the offer and receipt of the reservation fee and shall become non-refundable once any compliance or verification work has commenced, irrespective of whether the transaction subsequently proceeds to Exchange of Contracts or completion.

Where all or part of the reservation fee is refundable under the reservation fee terms, any Compliance and Verification Fees incurred shall first be deducted from the monies returned.
