The kitchen

An extensive arrangement of cabinetry provides plentiful preparation and storage space, accompanied by contrasting work surfaces, a sink and integrated cooking appliances. New flooring and LED lighting complete the room, while its considered layout keeps each working area within easy reach.

The living room
The living room provides a generous principal reception space with ample scope for both relaxation and entertaining. A newly created feature chimney and fireplace suite with acoustic panels form a clear focal point, while the triple aspect windows and sliding doors to the patio make the space light and airy. Its substantial dimensions allow several distinct seating areas without compromising the comfortable flow of the room.

The family room
The family room offers a more informal setting for everyday relaxation, providing a comfortable alternative to the larger living room. Glazed sliding doors open directly to the rear garden and are accompanied by an additional window and door to the outside. Connections to the kitchen, utility and garage support easy movement through this practical part of the ground floor.

The dining room
The dining room creates a dedicated setting for shared meals and entertaining close to the kitchen. A large window brings in views of the frontage and its regular proportions accommodate a substantial dining table while maintaining clear access from the entrance hall.

The study
The study provides a defined workspace away from the principal reception rooms, making it well suited to working or studying from home. A window overlooks the rear aspect, while the room’s proportions allow space for a desk and supporting office furniture.

The utility
The utility supports the kitchen by providing a separate area for laundry and household tasks. Cabinetry, work surfaces and appliance spaces make practical use of the room. Internal connections lead to the family room and ground floor shower room.

The ground floor shower room
The ground floor shower room adds valuable convenience to the ground floor and is readily accessible from the utility. A generous walk-in shower forms the principal feature, accompanied by a wash basin, WC and chrome towel rail.

The entrance hall and cloakroom
The entrance hall establishes a spacious and welcoming introduction to the home, connecting the principal ground floor rooms. An open staircase rises through the centre of the space and creates a strong architectural focal point, enhanced by an attractive new eight-light lantern fitting suspended above the landing. The cloakroom is positioned beside the entrance hall, providing a convenient facility for guests and everyday use. It includes a WC and wash basin within a neatly arranged space.

The primary bedroom
The primary bedroom provides a comfortable retreat with the added benefit of its own en suite bathroom. A wide window spans much of one wall and forms the room’s principal architectural feature. Generous proportions allow space for a substantial bed and additional bedroom furniture while retaining an uncluttered circulation area.

The primary en suite
The primary en suite offers a comprehensive arrangement of bathroom facilities adjoining the principal bedroom. A separate shower enclosure and corner bath provide a choice of bathing options, complemented by a wash basin and WC. The generous layout allows each element its own defined space and supports comfortable everyday use.

The second bedroom
The second bedroom is particularly generous, providing excellent flexibility as a substantial double bedroom. Dual windows give the room a broad outlook and emphasise its spacious proportions. Its expansive layout readily accommodates a large bed alongside further bedroom furniture while preserving ample floor space.

The third bedroom
The third bedroom offers another well proportioned double bedroom within the first floor arrangement. A window provides an outlook over the surrounding setting, while the straightforward shape of the room supports flexible furniture placement and makes practical use of the available space.

The fourth bedroom
The fourth bedroom completes the first floor accommodation and offers flexibility for sleeping, hobbies or an additional workspace. Its useful proportions allow the space to adapt readily as household requirements change.

The bathroom
The family bathroom serves the three additional bedrooms from a convenient position on the first floor. A freestanding roll top bath provides a characterful focal point, accompanied by a wash basin with storage beneath and WC.

The garden
The rear garden provides a substantial outdoor setting with space for relaxation, recreation and entertaining. A broad lawn extends away from the home, framed by mature trees, established shrubs and planted boundaries. Several paved areas create practical places for seating and dining, while the overall proportions provide considerable scope for different outdoor uses.

The driveway and parking
A wide block paved driveway creates a practical approach to the home and provides ample space for several vehicles. The substantial frontage leads directly to the attached double garage, which has two separate doors and internal access to the utility. A covered entrance adds definition to the front elevation and provides shelter on arrival.

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.

Compliance and Verification Fee

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.
