Description

While the property is in need of renovation, it presents a unique opportunity to breathe new life into this spacious home, allowing you to create a stunning sanctuary filled with character and charm. As you step inside, you’ll be greeted by a generous living area characterized by soaring high ceilings and an abundance of natural light, creating an inviting atmosphere perfect for family gatherings or entertaining friends. The layout flows seamlessly into a cozy reception room, where an adjoining conservatory bathes the space in sunlight, creating the perfect spot to relax and unwind.

Adjoining the living area is a substantial kitchen, complete with a sizable utility room and a convenient WC, providing ample space for both functionality and creativity. Additionally, the flexible layout includes a converted garage that could serve as an additional reception room, home office, or playroom, adaptable to meet your family's evolving needs. For those who appreciate extra storage or workspace, a useful cellar awaits, promising further possibilities.

Ascending to the first floor, you'll discover four generously sized bedrooms. Two of these rooms boast charming bay windows, offering plenty of light, while ensuring each family member has their own private retreat. Completing the upstairs layout is a modern shower room, combining convenience with style.

Step outside to find a large garden plot that, while currently overgrown, holds immense potential for transformation into a vibrant outdoor oasis, perfect for children to play or for garden entertaining.

This large family home is an opportunity to craft your dream dwelling in a location filled with charm. With vision and passion, you can turn this house into the perfect sanctuary for your family. Don’t miss the chance to make it your own!

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
