Currently used as a home office, it offers a quiet workspace away from the main house. French doors open onto the grass, making it equally suited to creative pursuits or relaxation.

The paddock
A two-acre paddock adjoins the gardens, enclosed by hedgerows and stock fencing.

Approached through secure electric gates, a long lane curves past the paddock to a broad gravelled courtyard in front of the home. There is parking for numerous vehicles together with a substantial timber-clad garage measuring about 10 m x 8 m with twin up-and-over doors, power and lighting. An adjoining store and further sheds provide ample storage, and an electric vehicle charger is installed for modern motoring.

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:

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 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.
