The kitchen
At the rear of the ground floor, the galley style kitchen provides a practical hub for family life. Shaker style cabinets and dark worktops include space for a range style cooker with extractor, integrated appliances and a breakfast bar for casual dining. Herringbone flooring ties the kitchen to the dining room, while dual aspect windows and a stable style door offer views and access to the garden.

The living room
Facing the front of the house, the sitting room is designed for relaxing and conversation. A bay window with plantation shutters frames the outlook over the front garden, while a rustic timber mantel surrounds a wood burning stove set on a slate hearth. Built in alcove cupboards and picture rails add character, and a door opens back to the entrance hall.

The dining room
Positioned between the sitting room and kitchen, the dining room is equally well suited to family suppers and celebrations. Warm herringbone flooring flows through to the kitchen, and French doors open onto the rear patio for effortless access to the garden. The generous proportions allow space for a large table and additional furniture.

The primary bedroom
Occupying the top floor, the primary bedroom enjoys generous dimensions and built in wardrobes flanking the bed together with further storage over. A large front facing window overlooks the tree lined avenue, and a loft hatch provides access to additional storage. The room easily accommodates a double bed alongside wardrobes and drawers.

The second bedroom
Situated on the first floor, the second bedroom could equally serve as the principal sleeping space. A bay window with plantation shutters offers a pleasant outlook across the front, while the generous floor area gives plenty of room for a large bed and additional furniture. High ceilings and picture rails add to the sense of character.

The third bedroom
Set on the second floor at the rear, the third double bedroom offers a peaceful haven with views over the garden. A casement window fills the room with light and a sloping ceiling provides cosy character. There is a recessed area for hanging clothes and enough floor space for a double bed or home office setup.

The bathroom
Located on the first floor, the spacious family bathroom is fitted with a modern white suite. A P shaped bath with curved shower screen sits alongside a low level WC and pedestal wash basin. Attractive tiling and a wide frosted window enhance the sense of space and brightness, while a large storage cupboard keeps toiletries neatly organised.

The garden
The property benefits from two distinct garden areas. The main rear garden wraps around the house, combining a paved patio with a lawn edged by mature borders and a pergola that creates a sheltered spot for alfresco dining. Across the rear access lane lies a second garden, providing extra outdoor space for play or cultivation, all enclosed by fencing and hedging.

Reservation Fee - refundable on exchange

A reservation fee, refundable on exchange, is payable prior to the issue of the Memorandum of Sale and after which the property may be marked as Sold Subject to Contract. The fee will be reimbursed upon the successful Exchange of Contracts.

The fee will be retained by Andrew Grant in the event that you the Buyer withdraws from the purchase or does not Exchange within 6 months of the fee being received other than for one or more of the following reasons:

1. Any significant material issues which individually are more than 1% of the agreed purchase price and are highlighted in a survey and were not evident or drawn to the attention of you, the Buyer, prior to the Memorandum of Sale being issued.
2. Serious and material defect in the seller’s legal title.
3. Local search revealing a matter that has a material adverse effect on the market value of the property that was previously undeclared and not in the public domain.
4. The vendor withdrawing the property from sale.

The reservation fee will be 0.5% of the accepted offer price for offers below £800,000 and 1% for offers of £800,000 or over. This fee, unless specified otherwise, is payable upon acceptance by the vendor of an offer from a buyer and completion of an assessment of the buyer’s financial status and ability to proceed.

Should a buyer’s financial position regarding the funding of the property prove to be fundamentally different from that declared by the buyer when the Memorandum of Sale was completed, then the Vendor has the right to withdraw from the sale and/or the reservation fee retained. For example, where the buyer declares themselves as a cash buyer but are in fact relying on an unsecured sale of their property. The reservation fee will not be refunded where there is an inability on the part of the Buyer to raise any required mortgage after the Memorandum of Sale is completed.

Once the reservation fee has been paid, any renegotiation of the price stated in the memorandum of sale for any reason other than those covered in points 1 to 3 above will lead to the reservation fee being retained. A further fee will be levied on any subsequent reduced offer that is accepted by the vendor. This further fee will be subject to the same conditions that prevail for all reservation fees outlined above.
