The kitchen
The kitchen is the sociable hub of the home, designed for both cooking and casual meals. A generous granite topped island incorporates drawers and a breakfast bar, and the cream cabinetry houses a range cooker with extractor, space for an American style fridge freezer and glass fronted display units. Granite worktops, a sink set beneath a wide window and a door to the outside complete this practical and welcoming space.

The living room
The living room provides an impressive space for relaxing and entertaining with plenty of room for multiple seating areas. Triple aspect windows frame views over the gardens and surrounding landscape. A handsome fireplace with carved surround and wood burning stove forms the focal point, while a coved ceiling and chandelier lend a touch of elegance to this substantial reception room.

The dining room
A formal dining room offers a dedicated setting for family meals and celebrations. A large picture window brings the front garden into view and a decorative ceiling rose with chandelier crowns the ceiling. A feature wall with elegant wall lights adds visual interest and the room’s generous proportions allow for a sizeable dining suite, making this an ideal space for entertaining.

The conservatory
The conservatory extends the living space and brings the outside in. Set on a brick base with a tiled floor, it has full height windows and French doors opening onto a terrace for seamless access to the garden. A pitched roof with fitted blinds helps to regulate temperature, creating a pleasant spot for morning coffee, quiet reading or simply enjoying the view in all seasons.

The hallway and cloakroom
A central hallway links the accommodation while giving a real sense of arrival. Traditional wainscoting and a dado rail run along the walls, and built in storage keeps shoes and coats neatly tucked away. The cloakroom is decorated with bold patterned walls and contains a modern white suite with low flush WC and a vanity basin with mosaic tile detail, providing convenient facilities for guests.

The principal bedroom
The principal bedroom is a serene retreat at the end of the day. Built in mirrored wardrobes span one wall, offering extensive storage without encroaching on the floor space, and a large window overlooks the private gardens. Decorative wall covering, coved ceiling detail and neutral tones contribute to the restful atmosphere, while a door leads directly into the spacious en suite bathroom.

The principal en suite
The principal en suite offers a luxurious finish. A panelled bath invites long soaks and there is a separate walk in shower with a glazed screen for everyday convenience. The generous vanity unit incorporates a basin and WC with ample storage, complemented by an LED mirror and heated towel rail. Mosaic tile detailing and a window providing natural light complete the suite.

The second bedroom and en suite
The second bedroom provides comfortable accommodation for guests or family. It enjoys generous proportions and a view over the rear gardens, and there is ample room for additional furniture. A door connects through to a private shower room. The en suite features a shower enclosure with glass screen, wash basin with storage beneath and a WC.

The third bedroom and en suite
The third bedroom offers flexible space for sleeping, study or as a playroom. A wide window overlooks the garden and the room has its own door to an en suite shower room, making it ideal for a teenager or guest. The en suite features a corner shower enclosure with sliding glass door, a wall mounted basin with mirrored cabinet above and a chrome towel rail. Simple fittings and light surfaces make the room easy to maintain.

The garden
The garden immediately surrounding the home is laid mainly to lawn, interspersed with established specimen trees and colourful borders. A wide paved terrace wraps around the property, providing space for outdoor dining, and there is a covered pergola with brick paved floor that offers sheltered seating. A water feature nestles among mature shrubs and a picket fence encloses the main lawn.

Beyond the formal garden a natural wooded area, purchased by the current owners, forms part of the plot and creates an enchanting backdrop. This area includes a variety of native trees protected by a Tree Preservation Order, meandering pathways and clearings, and provides a haven for wildlife and exploration without overlooking neighbours.

The driveway and parking
Two extensive driveways make arriving and parking effortless. Block paved and gently sloping, they provide ample space for numerous vehicles, including a motor home or caravan, and both driveways lead to a stand alone double garage with a wide roller door. An island of evergreen and ornamental shrubs softens the hard standing, while a gated entrance, turning area and further paved parking beside the house add to the practicality of this generous arrangement.

Reservation Fee - refundable on exchange

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.

Compliance and Verification Fee

A Compliance and Verification Fee of £85 plus VAT (£102 inc VAT) per individual purchaser or related party requiring anti-money laundering, identity, source and proof of funds or financial verification checks is payable upon acceptance of an offer and receipt of the reservation fee.

This fee represents the cost of compliance administration and verification services undertaken in connection with the proposed purchase including anti-money laundering checks, sanctions screening, source of funds verification, proof of funds checks and associated compliance procedures.

The Compliance and Verification Fee shall be deducted from the reservation fee monies held by Andrew Grant.

No compliance or verification work shall be commenced until the reservation fee has been received in cleared funds.

The Compliance and Verification Fee becomes due immediately upon acceptance of the offer and receipt of the reservation fee and shall become non-refundable once any compliance or verification work has commenced, irrespective of whether the transaction subsequently proceeds to Exchange of Contracts or completion.

Where all or part of the reservation fee is refundable under the reservation fee terms, any Compliance and Verification Fees incurred shall first be deducted from the monies returned.
