The kitchen
Arranged for everyday cooking, the kitchen includes a practical range of cabinets and work surfaces with an inset sink beneath the rear window. Space is available for essential appliances, while a glazed door opens to the rear porch. A further door provides access to the central hall.

The living and dining room
Forming the principal reception space, the living and dining room offers generous proportions for both relaxation and mealtimes. A feature fireplace establishes a traditional focal point within the sitting area, while the elongated arrangement creates a natural distinction between the two uses. Glazed doors continue into the adjoining garden room.

The garden room
Providing an enjoyable extension of the reception accommodation, the garden room creates a pleasant place to relax while enjoying an outlook across the rear garden. Broad windows surround the space and a door opens directly outside. Its connection with the living and dining room allows the adjoining areas to work particularly well together.

The primary bedroom
Offering comfortable proportions for everyday use, the primary bedroom provides ample room for a double bed and accompanying storage. A wide front facing window forms the principal architectural feature, while the straightforward arrangement allows the space to be configured with ease.

The second bedroom
Equally suitable as a further family or guest bedroom, the second bedroom provides flexible accommodation to meet changing requirements. A rear facing window forms a clear focal point and the balanced proportions allow ample room for essential bedroom storage.

The bathroom
Completing the principal accommodation, the bathroom is fitted with a panelled bath incorporating a shower over, a wash basin and WC. Extensive wall tiling provides a practical finish around the main fittings, while a window offers ventilation. Its position off the central hall allows convenient access from both bedrooms.

The utility and office
Combining practical utility space with a dedicated office area, this detached outbuilding supports both household tasks and home working. The flexible internal arrangement provides room for laundry appliances, a workstation and additional storage, allowing the space to serve several useful purposes away from the main accommodation.

The garden
Offering a manageable outdoor setting, the enclosed rear garden is predominantly block paved to create ample space for seating and container planting. Curved borders introduce established greenery and offer scope for further cultivation. The garden also provides access to the detached utility and office, with direct connections to the garden room and rear entrance.

The driveway and parking
A broad frontage provides extensive off road parking and creates a practical approach to the home. The paved driveway continues towards the substantial garage, which offers generous space for secure parking, storage or workshop use. Defined planting areas soften the frontage, while access to the rear garden is available via the garage or directly from the rear porch and garden room.

Fees

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.

Compliance and Verification Fee

A Compliance and Verification Fee of £85 plus VAT (£102 inc VAT) per individual purchaser or related party requiring anti-money laundering, identity, source and proof of funds or financial verification checks is payable upon acceptance of an offer and receipt of the reservation fee.

This fee represents the cost of compliance administration and verification services undertaken in connection with the proposed purchase including anti-money laundering checks, sanctions screening, source of funds verification, proof of funds checks and associated compliance procedures.

The Compliance and Verification Fee shall be deducted from the reservation fee monies held by Andrew Grant.

No compliance or verification work shall be commenced until the reservation fee has been received in cleared funds.

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.
