Ben Siggins Estate Agents are pleased to present to the market this spacious and versatile property, set in an ideal location for the town centre and local amenities. Offering a variety of uses, the property — which has been a four-bedroom HMO in the past — could be extended to a six-bedroom HMO, used as a family home, or, subject to the relevant planning, converted into flats.

Once inside, you start to appreciate the space on offer, with the accommodation set over four floors, providing plenty of room and potential. On both the ground and first floors are two double bedrooms or reception rooms, depending on how the new owner wishes to configure the space. The lower ground floor boasts a large kitchen and breakfast room with a separate dining room or lounge. The loft room has the potential to be the largest room in the property if extended with a rear roof dormer under permitted development.

Externally, there is side pedestrian access to the large rear garden, along with a small frontage for bin storage.

This property will be legally prepared, enabling any interested buyer to secure it immediately once their bid or offer has been accepted — a transparent process that provides speed, security and certainty for all parties.

The advertised price is commonly referred to as a "Starting Bid" or "Guide Price" and is accompanied by a "Reserve Price."

A legal pack associated with this particular property is available to view upon request, and contains details relevant to the legal documentation enabling all interested parties to make an informed decision prior to bidding. The legal pack will also outline the buyer's obligations and seller's commitments. It is strongly advised that you seek the counsel of a solicitor prior to proceeding with any property and/or land title purchase.

In order to secure the property and ensure commitment from the seller, upon exchange of contracts the successful bidder will be expected to pay a non-refundable deposit equivalent to 5% of the purchase price of the property. The deposit will be a contribution to the purchase price. A non-refundable reservation fee of up to 6% inc VAT (subject to a minimum which could be up to £7,200 inc VAT) is also required to be paid upon agreement of sale. The reservation fee is in addition to the agreed purchase price, and consideration should be made by the purchaser in relation to any Stamp Duty Land Tax liability associated with overall purchase costs.
Both the marketing agent and the auctioneer may believe it necessary or beneficial to the customer to pass their details to third party service suppliers, from which a referral fee may be obtained. There is no requirement or obligation to use these recommended suppliers or services.

A couple of flags for you: the Rightmove summary is right at the character limit, so worth a final check once pasted in, and I've kept "Pattinson" out of the bullet points per the internal guide (only used once the partner agreement is fully confirmed) — let me know if that's now settled and you'd like it referenced more directly in the listing itself.
