Handling practicalities and guest needs, the cloakroom and utility combine convenience in one compact room.

There is space and plumbing for laundry appliances beneath the counter, and a frosted window brings in daylight while maintaining privacy.

The primary bedroom
Offering a restful retreat at the rear of the home, the principal bedroom feels calm and spacious. A period fireplace with simple surround and exposed floorboards underline its character, while a deep window frames views of the garden. There is plenty of space for additional furniture alongside a practical built in cupboard.

The second bedroom
This good sized second bedroom offers versatile accommodation for family or guests. It benefits from a window overlooking the rear and painted floorboards that add character. A built in high level book shelf runs along one wall, providing useful storage without encroaching on the floor space.

The third bedroom
Suited to a family member or visiting guest, the third bedroom is characterful and cosy. It features a sloping ceiling and tongue and groove timber panelling to one wall, together with fitted shelving for books or toys. A cottage style window overlooks the frontage and brings in plenty of natural light.

The study
Providing a secluded spot for work or hobbies, the study has a distinctive cottage feel. Timber clad walls and a sloping ceiling create an intimate atmosphere, while a window enjoys an outlook over the frontage. Exposed floorboards complete this useful space off the landing.

The bathroom
Designed for modern family needs, the bathroom is both spacious and inviting. A contemporary bath sits beneath a frosted window, complemented by a separate glazed shower enclosure, a pedestal basin and WC. Tongue and groove panelling, a sloping ceiling and built in shelving and a cupboard add character and practical storage.

The garden
Stretching out behind the house, the garden creates a true outdoor sanctuary. A paved terrace leads to a sweeping lawn flanked by borders, fruit trees and productive beds. A pond edged in stone adds wildlife interest, while a painted summerhouse offers a quiet hideaway beside a gravel seating area. A timber outbuilding provides workshop and office space, all enclosed by mature hedging.

The driveway and parking
Providing practical arrival and ample space for vehicles, the driveway offers off street parking for up to four cars. Positioned adjacent to the garden and outbuilding, it allows easy access to both the house and workshop.

Reservation Fee - refundable on exchange

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.
3. Local search revealing a matter that has a material adverse effect on the market value of the property that was previously undeclared and not in the public domain.
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.
