Description

Description

1 Frome Road offers a wealth of potential and opportunity to create a wonderful home set in approximately ¼ of an acre of garden.

The property requires a scheme of renovation and improvement and subject to the relevant consents being granted, could be extended or reconfigured to make the most of the lovely rural aspect to the rear.

The accommodation is arranged over a single floor and comprises an entrance hall with doors leading to the two bedrooms and bathroom. The dining room has a door opening into the kitchen and leads into the sitting room with French doors to the garden.

Attached to the side of the house is a good sized garage with attic space, that could be incorporated into the footprint of the accommodation, or be retained as a garage or workshop with an office or similar over, again subject to the relevant consents.

Outside

The grounds lie to the side and rear of the property and are largely uncultivated at present but offer mature fruit trees and shrubs and extend in total to approximately ¼ of an acre.

There is parking to the side of the property with room for a couple of vehicles. This space could easily be improved and extended to allow for ample parking and turning with an improvement made to visibility onto the road.

EPC: G

Completion

Completion has been set for Thursday 27th November 2025 or earlier by arrangement.

Local Council: Somerset Council (Mendip Area)

Services

The Seller’s understanding is that the water supply is currently shut off at the main stop valve at the property but is otherwise believed to be connected to mains water as a result of the Searches, but no guarantee is given in this regard and any prospective purchaser should ensure that they have satisfied themselves in this regard and make any further investigations deemed necessary.

The seller is unsure of the foul drainage and surface drainage position for the property; as a result of the Searches it is believed that it is connected to foul water drainage, however this cannot be guaranteed and a prospective buyer must make their own investigations in this regard and satisfy themselves as necessary as to the connections and any current or historical tanks at the property.

Viewing

Through Cooper and Tanner, Frome on .  All viewings must be accompanied and no children are to be allowed to view.  Due to the condition of the property please wear sensible footwear.  Instructions will be given at the time of booking with regard to parking arrangements.

Registering to bid and Administration fee

Cooper and Tanner require all bidders who wish to bid at our Auction to register beforehand, whether you are intending on bidding in the room, by proxy or online. As part of the registration process, you will be asked to provide card details in order that the Buyer’s Administration Fee of £1395 inc VAT can be paid if you are successful. A week before the auction a hold will be placed on your account for this sum, which will then be released if you are unsuccessful. This fee will only be taken if you are the successful buyer. The fee is retained by Cooper and Tanner and does not form part of your deposit or completion settlement. Please also be aware that the Buyer’s Administration fee is payable per lot purchased. If you are successful in purchasing more than one lot, we will contact you following the auction to take subsequent payments for additional lots bought. All checks required by current anti-money laundering legislation must be satisfactorily completed, as part of the registration process before prior approval to bid will be granted; this will include providing proof of funds.

Deposit

Successful bidders will be required to pay to the Cooper and Tanner Client Account the deposit of 10% of the purchase price within 24 hours of the auction. The account details will be provided to the successful bidder on conclusion of the auction. Once funds are cleared, they will be transferred on to the account of the solicitor acting for the seller. Please ensure that funds are in an account suitable to be able to make an Electronic Transfer from.

Fees

Potential buyers should be aware that there may be additional fees payable to the Vendor’s solicitor on completion of the sale, details of which will be contained within the auction pack for each lot. At the launch of the property onto the market this information is not always available and so interested parties must refer to the auction pack and satisfy their enquiries.
