How does the guide price work?

Properties such as this rarely come to market. Indeed, Gomersal House has apparently only changed hands seven times since its construction. As a consequence, the vendors have decided to set a wide guide price to reflect the fact that the property’s unusual history and unique characteristics make it hard to value. Our advice to anyone who may be even slightly interested is to contact us to make an appointment for a viewing.



Note from the team at Stonebridge Shaw:
We always aim to ensure our properties are displayed accurately with the photos, virtual tour, floor plans and descriptions provided. However, these are intended as a guide and purchasers must satisfy themselves by viewing the property in person.
