DESCRIPTION
Freehold Detached House
Refurbishment or Replacement Opportunity
Planning Granted for Replacement
Full Vacant Possession.

Location:
The property is located in this idyllic rural setting with Back Drove being a no through road home to a number of dwellings. Welney itself lies off the A1101 with Ely to the south, Wisbech and Downham Market to the north and Peterborough further to the west. The area provides local facilities with more comprehensive services in the nearby towns. The A1101 provides good road links and connects south to the A10 at Littleport. The rail station at Manea is some 15 minutes’ drive from the property and provides connections to Colchester, Peterborough, Stansted Airport and Birmingham New Street.

Description:
The property sits in a good sized plot providing garden and parking areas. The current building comprises a detached two floor house of brick construction beneath a pitched tiled roof. It has been neglected over a period of time and now requires complete refurbishment or replacement, for which planning permission has been granted. Purchasers can therefore consider the option of renovating and possibly extending the existing dwelling or, implementing the planning permission and demolish the current house and replacing it with a modern newly constructed family dwelling.

Planning:
If a buyer wishes to redevelop rather than renovate, the property is sold with the benefit of full planning permission with reserved matters granted 3rd October 2023. The original planning was an outline permission, the reserved matters now granted take this now to full permission for the development which would require demolition of the existing house and replacing this with a new detached family home. Full copies of the plans and planning permission are available from the auctioneers and can be downloaded as part of the legal pack.

Planning (continued):
If this option was taken, the finished development would comprise:
First Floor: Master Bedroom with en-suite shower/wc, Two further bedrooms, family bathroom/wc.
Ground Floor: Entrance Hall, Reception Room, Study, Open Plan Kitchen/Dining Room, Utility Room, Cloakroom with wc.
Outside: Gardens and off Street Parking.

Existing Building:
EPC: Not applicable

Council Tax Band: Currently Deleted from Listing.

To View:
Strictly and Only by Prior appointment with the auctioneers. Due to the condition of the existing building, prospective purchasers should exercise extreme caution at viewings and view the property entirely at their own risk.






Important Notice:
For each Lot, a contract documentation fee of £1,500 (inclusive of VAT) is payable to Barnard Marcus Auctions by the buyer. The seller may charge additional fees payable upon completion. If applicable, such fees are detailed within the Special Conditions of Sale. Buyers are deemed to bid in full knowledge of this.

The Guide Price quoted must not be relied upon by prospective purchasers as a valuation or assessment of value of the property. It is intended to provide purchasers with an indication of the region at which the reserve may be set at the time of going to press. The guide price may be subject to variation and interested parties are advised to make regular checks for variations and should be aware that the reserve price may be either below or above the quoted guide price.

Prospective purchasers should also be aware that the eventual sale price may be above or below the guide level dependent upon competition, and should therefore not presume the guide to be indicative of the final expected sale price or the price the property is available at.

When setting the guide price, the auctioneers have given consideration to the seller’s instructions in respect of their indicated reserve price at the time of instruction. The reserve price, (the level below which the property will not be sold), remains confidential between the seller and the auctioneer. The guide price therefore, is intended to indicate the region at which the reserve price is intended to be set. The seller will confirm their final reserve price close to the auction date and if appropriate the auctioneers may adjust the guide price to reflect this.
Whilst Barnard Marcus make every effort to ensure the safety and security of viewers at properties, we have not carried out a detailed Health & Safety inspection of properties in our auctions and cannot therefore guarantee the safety and security of viewers.
Prospective purchasers and bidders attend properties entirely at their own risk. Particular care should be taken when accessing cellars, attics, exterior grounds and outbuildings and boundaries. All non-conducted inspections of vacant sites should be made in daylight hours only and entry into such sites is entirely at the viewers risk.
