Description

Some initial building works have already been undertaken, providing a head start for the next owner to finish the project to their own specification.

The front door opens into the first reception room, offering a flexible space suitable as a lounge or sitting room. This leads through to a generously sized second reception/living area, providing ample room for family living or open-plan reconfiguration (subject to consents).

Beyond the living space is a utility area, leading into the kitchen and ground floor bathroom. These areas require full installation and finishing, allowing for complete customization.

Upstairs, the property offers two well-proportioned double bedrooms and a third single bedroom, ideal as a child’s room, office, or study. There is also a spacious storage cupboard, which had previously been intended for conversion into a WC, offering additional potential.

To the rear, the property benefits from a private garden, mainly laid to lawn with some paved areas, providing a good-sized outdoor space with further landscaping potential.

Guide Price
An indication of the seller’s current minimum acceptable price at auction. The guide price or range of guide prices is given to assist consumers in deciding whether or not to pursue a purchase. It is usual, but not always the case that a provisional reserve range is agreed between the seller and the auctioneer at the start of marketing. As the reserve is not fixed at this stage and can be adjusted by the seller at any time up to the day of the auction in the light of interest shown during the marketing period, a guide price is issued. This guide price can be shown in the form of a minimum and maximum price range within which an acceptable sale price (reserve) would fall, or as a single price figure within 10% of which the minimum acceptable price (reserve) would fall. A guide price is different to a reserve price (see separate definition). Both the guide price and the reserve price can be subject to change up to and including the day of the auction

Reserve
The seller’s minimum acceptable price at auction and the figure below which the auctioneer cannot sell. The reserve price is not disclosed and remains confidential between the seller and the auctioneer. Both the guide price and the reserve price can be subject to change up to and including the day of the auction

Proof of Identity
To comply with Money Laundering Regulations, on acceptance of an offer for purchase or letting, the buyer or prospective tenant will be required to provide identification to Butters John Bee. Where a property is due to go to auction, all bidders will be required to register prior to auction
