The kitchen
The kitchen provides a practical workspace at the rear of the accommodation, linking with the garden room and utility. Timber cabinetry extends along both sides, accompanied by generous work surfaces, tiled splashbacks and a double sink beneath the broad rear window.

The living and dining room
The living and dining room forms the substantial principal reception space, with ample proportions for clearly defined seating and dining areas. A fireplace provides a central focal point, while windows to three elevations create an attractive outlook across the surrounding plot. Its generous scale makes the room well suited to everyday relaxation, larger gatherings and entertaining.

The garden room and utility
Extending across the rear of the home, the garden room and utility combines an informal seating or dining area with useful household facilities. Extensive glazing provides wide views across the garden, with an external door opening directly outside. Work surfaces, a sink and space for appliances occupy one end, creating a practical addition alongside the kitchen.

The primary bedroom
The primary bedroom is a generous retreat arranged at the front of the home. A bay window provides an outlook across the front garden, while the substantial proportions and bank of built-in storage allow plenty of space around the main sleeping area.

The second bedroom
The second bedroom offers comfortable proportions for regular use by family members or guests. A broad bay window overlooks the rear garden and gives the room a pleasant connection with the outdoor setting. The straightforward layout accommodates a range of bedroom arrangements, while its position provides convenient access to the main bathroom.

The shower room and dressing room
Created from the former third bedroom, the shower room and dressing room now sit directly beside the primary bedroom. The shower room includes a large curved enclosure, wash basin and WC, while the adjoining dressing area provides extensive clothes storage.

The bathroom
The bathroom serves the second bedroom and wider accommodation from a central position. A panelled bath with shower fitting is accompanied by a wash basin and WC, while an obscured window provides ventilation and privacy.

The garden
The extensive east facing rear garden is a defining feature of Rowan Trees, occupying a substantial part of the approximately 0.35 acre plot. A broad lawn is enclosed by established hedging, mature trees and varied planting, creating an attractive and well screened setting. The generous scale provides considerable space for recreation, gardening and outdoor enjoyment.

Closer to the home, extensive paved and gravelled areas create several settings for outdoor seating and entertaining. A raised circular pond forms a distinctive focal point, surrounded by established planting and open views across the lawn. Two garden sheds provide useful storage, while the overall plot offers scope to explore further possibilities, including annexe potential, subject to the necessary consents.

The front garden
The front garden creates an appealing approach to the home, with established hedging providing separation from the quiet lane. Gravelled areas, mature planting and a central path lead towards the entrance porch, while open farmland opposite contributes to the attractive outlook. The generous frontage forms an integral part of the private plot.

The driveway and parking
A gated driveway runs alongside the home and provides parking for several vehicles. The drive continues to a covered car port and the former single garage, which is now divided to provide two useful storage areas. This generous arrangement offers practical space for vehicles, equipment and garden essentials while retaining straightforward access to the rear of the plot.

Fees

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:

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.

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.
