Description
Woodside is a detached chalet bungalow which is believed to be of predominantly brick construction under a tiled roof.  It was built in the late 1940s.  Whilst it is anticipated that a buyer may wish to carry out a full refurbishment programme and will update the kitchen/bathroom, the property does benefit from some double glazed windows and an oil-fired central heating system.  Whilst general works are required, it should be noted that the first floor flat roof dormer extension requires re-roofing and there is water ingress that now requires attention.

A front porch leads to a hallway that has built-in cupboards along with an airing cupboard with hot water cylinder.  Stairs rise to the first floor landing and doors lead off to the reception rooms and ground floor bedrooms.  The sitting room enjoys views over the front garden and has a fireplace and radiator.  The dining room has built-in cupboards, a hatch to the kitchen, radiator, window to the side of the property and sliding doors opening into a sunroom.  This has wall to wall windows and sliding doors opening to the front garden.  The kitchen is fitted with a basic range of high and low-level wall units and has a stainless steel sink with drainer.  There is a bottled gas range cooker with hob and grill.  The kitchen has windows overlooking the rear and side of the property and a larder with shelving.  From the kitchen, there is access to a rear lean-to with doors to the exterior.  This leads to a store with a well, and also a utility room that is home to the oil-fired boiler, a stainless steel sink and cupboards.  

Also on the ground floor of the bungalow are two dual aspect double bedrooms, both of which have radiators and one of which has built-in cupboards.  There is also a bathroom with handwash basin, bath and window to the rear, and a cloakroom with WC.

The first floor landing has a window to the rear of the property and doors off to the two first floor bedrooms.  One is a good size double with window to the rear, handwash basin, built-in wardrobe and eaves store.  The other first floor bedroom is a good size single or smaller double with window to the rear of the property and additional Velux window.  This has built-in cupboards, eaves storage and a cupboard housing the cold water tanks.
Outside
The property is approached from Westleton Road via a driveway that leads past the bungalow to a parking area.  Adjacent to this is a timber/block built garage/workshop which has a corrugated tin and asbestos roof.  It is in basic order but provides excellent space.  It measures approximately 34’ x 18’ (maximum) and has windows to the front and rear as well as personnel doors and garage doors.  It also includes an inspection pit.  Adjacent to the building are two glasshouses and to the rear a further workshop that is divided into two that measures a total of 18’6 x 8’4.

The gardens lie to the front and rear of the bungalow and are predominantly laid to grass with beds, shrubs and trees.  Within the rear garden are mature trees including fruit trees along with a further greenhouse and a basic timber building under a corrugated metal tin roof that measures approximately 25’ x 13’.  There are lean to’s to the side and rear.  In all, the ground extend to 0.6 acres.

NOTES
1.  Every care has been taken with the preparation of these particulars, but complete accuracy cannot be guaranteed.  If there is any point, which  is of particular importance to you, please obtain professional confirmation. Alternatively, we will be pleased to check the information for you.  These Particulars do not constitute a contract or part of a contract.  All measurements quoted are approximate.  The Fixtures, Fittings & Appliances have not been tested and therefore no guarantee can be given that they are in working order.  Photographs are reproduced for general information and it cannot be inferred that any item shown is included.  No guarantee can be given that any planning permission or listed building consent or building regulations have been applied for or approved. The agents have not been made aware of any covenants or restrictions that may impact the property, unless stated otherwise.  Any site plans used in the particulars are indicative only and buyers should rely on the Land Registry/transfer plan. 

2. The Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017 require all Estate Agents to obtain sellers’ and buyers’ identity.

3. The vendor has completed a Property Information Questionnaire about the property and this is available to be emailed to interested parties. 

4. In the unlikely situation of our client considering an offer prior to auction, a premium price would have to be put forward and the purchaser would be required to sign the contract and put down a 10% deposit and pay the Buyers Administration Charge, well in advance of the auction date.  An offer will not be considered unless a potential buyer has read the legal pack and is in a position to immediately sign the contract.  The seller is under no obligation to accept such an offer.   It should be noted that Clarke and Simpson cannot keep all interested parties updated and at times will be instructed to accept an offer and exchange contracts without going back to any other parties first. 

5.  Additional fees:  Buyers Administration Charge - £900 including VAT (see Buying Guide).  Disbursements - please see the Legal Pack for any disbursements listed that may become payable by the purchaser upon completion.

6.  The guide price is an indication of the sellers minimum expectations.  This is not necessarily the figure that the property will sell for and may change at any time prior to the auction.  The property will be offered subject to a reserve (a figure below which the auctioneer cannot sell the property during the auction) which we will expect to be set within the guide range of no more than 10% above a single figure guide.

7.  The property stands in a pleasant rural location.  It should be noted however that the field to the west of the site has outline planning permission for residential redevelopment.  However, this does not appear to be an intensive site and Clarke and Simpson can provide an indicative plan of the current proposed layout, via email.  September 2025
