Introduction & Exterior
Available to Cash Buyers Only due to the non-standard concrete construction, this three bedroom home in the Gillway area of Tamworth will prove extremely popular to those looking to downsize from a larger home and investors. Please see the auction section at the bottom of this description for more information on how to purchase.
The property is set back from a communal parking area behind a front garden that has a slight downward slope towards the house and an accompanying path with steps. The front door enters straight into a wide hallway and there is a secondary door that opens to the extended section of the house where a sheltered passage continues to the back door opening to the rear garden.
As this is a corner plot, the rear garden is remarkable, and certainly took us by surprise!! Immediately behind the house is a smaller, more regular sized garden that is very private owing to the neighbouring property’s extension. A gate then opens to a huge lawn that is incredible for summer gatherings, child’s play or for those with animals. It continues to the right hand side, behind the smaller garden to an area where a wooden shed is positioned. The garden is surrounded by tall evergreen bushes and wooden fencing
Ground Floor
As mentioned above, the ground floor begins with a wide hallway that has a staircase to the left and doors to the right and ahead to the lounge and kitchen respectively. The hallway is plenty large enough for guests to remove coats and shoes, and for the owner to position some furniture if desired.
The lounge stretches the full length of the house, easily having enough room for a sofa suite, entertainment unit and a dining table, if desired, The room is naturally bright owing to double glazed windows at both ends. A door at the far end of the room opens to the kitchen.
Entering from the hallway, the kitchen has a T-shaped layout with the suite units fitted along the rear wall. This includes an electric oven and grill, and a four ring electric hob. There is a one-and-a-half-bowl sink with drainer and space is available for a dishwasher. At the front of the room is a breakfast bar with accompanying units. There are also doors to three built-in storage cupboards including the one leading under the staircase.
The exit door to the left of the kitchen leads to the sheltered passage where there are three further doors to a WC, storage cupboard and a large store room.
First Floor
The staircase leads in a straight fashion up to the landing where a side window provides lots of natural light. From the landing there are doors leading to three generous bedrooms and a family shower room.
The bedrooms comprise of two large doubles with built-in storage, and a third single bedroom that is an excellent size as it recesses towards bedroom one. Bedroom One is at the front of the house and the built-in storage includes a single cupboard housing the gas central heating combi-boiler, and a wardrobe. Bedroom Two at the rear is the longest bedroom and has a single cupboard.
The family shower room is a modern suite that features a curved shower cubicle, radiator and a combi-unit that includes a toilet, wash basin and low-level cabinet. The suite is perfectly complemented by attractive wall tiling.

Further clarification on this must be sought from your legal representative.
The buyer will be required to give the Auctioneer authority to sign the Reservation Form on their behalf and to confirm acceptance of the Terms and Conditions prior to solicitors being instructed. Copies of the Reservation Form and all Terms and Conditions can be found in the Information Pack which can be downloaded from our website or requested from our Auctioneer.

An EPC is broadly like the labels provided with domestic appliances such as refrigerators and washing machines. Its purpose is to record how energy efficient a property is as a building. The certificate will provide a rating of the energy efficiency and carbon emissions of a building from A to G, where A is very efficient, and G is inefficient. The data required to allow the calculation of an EPC includes the age and construction of the building, its insulation and heating method. EPCs are produced using standard methods with standard assumptions about energy usage so that the energy efficiency of one building can easily be compared with another building of the same type. The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) requires that all buildings have an EPC when they are marketed for sale or for let, or when houses are newly built. EPCs are valid for 10 years, or until a newer EPC is prepared. During this period the EPC may be made available to buyers or new tenants.
By setting a proxy bid, the system will automatically bid on your behalf to maintain your position as the highest bidder, up to your proxy bid amount. If you are outbid, you will be notified via email so you can opt to increase your bid if you so choose.
If two of more users place identical bids, the bid that was placed first takes precedence, and this includes proxy bids.
Another bidder placed an automatic proxy bid greater or equal to the bid you have just placed. You will need to bid again to stand a chance of winning.
