Description
The house is an impressive four bedroom detached building which has suffered some structural damage (particularly to the south east corner during the 2014 landslip on Undercliff Drive), which has left the house inaccessible by motor vehicle at the present time.
We are advised that discussions are ongoing in respect of restoring vehiclar access from the west (Niton) access road.
There is little evidence of structural movement to the majority of the house, which enjoys a splendid location with southerly views over the extensive gardens of 0.57 hectares (1.4 acres) and over the English Channel beyond.
It is considered that buildings insurance is unlikely to be obtainable for the property, but the house would be ideal for use as a holiday home, weekend retreat or possibly main residence, subject to the new owner's requirements.
Ground Floor
Entrance hall, living room, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, utility room and two cloakrooms with W.C.s.
First Floor
Landing, cloakroom (W.C. removed), bath/shower room with W.C. and four bedrooms, with dressing room and en-suite bath/shower room to the master bedroom.
Outside
Double garage and extensive grounds.
Viewing
Strictly by prior confirmed appointment with the Auctioneer’s Office. Tel: 01489 564606. At present access to the property can only be obtained via a locked gate, either side of the property on Undercliff Drive. Prospective bidders should meet the Auctioneers at the gate at the Niton end of Undercliff Drive, and proceed on foot thereafter. Inspections are carried out at the viewers’ own liability.
Freehold with Vacant Possession
Important:
All lots are sold subject to the Common Auction Conditions and Special Conditions of Sale (unless varied by the Sellers Solicitors), together with the Addendum, which will be available on the Auction Day.
