TENURE
We understand this property to be Leasehold with no maintenance charges and £120 per annum ground rent. We are informed that the lease length is 93 years.
THE PROPERTY
This is an incredible opportunity to own an extended ground floor maisonette with three bedrooms. You certainly don’t see many of these around. Therefore anybody requiring ground floor living will be able to enjoy all the luxuries and space that a three bedroom house offers, including two reception rooms.
Parking for the property is on street, which is very quiet and you’ll always be able to see your car from the property beyond a lovely communal green between the street and the property. Viewers will be delighted to learn that the front, side and rear gardens belong to this home. The front has been gravelled to give a pleasant low maintenance look whereas the side offers the entry to the house with some lovely shrubs along the border to the left.
As viewers enter the home they will note the long corridor hallway with doors off to the three bedrooms, family shower room and kitchen, with an opening at the far end for the lounge. At the beginning near to the front door there is a storage area that also house the gas central heating combi-boiler. There is also a shallow cupboard for the utility meters.
The first room to the rear of the property is a superb shower room suite. This features a tall curved shower cubicle, wash basin with cabinet, chrome heated towel rail and toilet. This is all complemented by sleek tiling to the walls. Beyond the shower room is the kitchen which is another stylish suite. The kitchen features a range of hi-gloss units that incorporate a chest height double oven as well as a four-burner gas hob with overhead extractor, dishwasher and large recess for a fridge freezer. This is all finished with tiling and a glass splashback screen.
The lounge is a brilliant reception room that can comfortably fit a sofa suite around the modern, feature gas fireplace, and still have room for a desk for home working (the latter not pictured). To the rear of the lounge it opens out to the extended part of the home which is a lovely bright dining room with a set if French doors to the rear and a side window to allow plenty of natural light into both here and the lounge. The dining room is a fantastic size to use for a family table or potential and a second sitting room.
All three bedrooms are positioned at the front of the home and increase in size as you move from the main entrance door. The first bedroom encountered is bedroom three, which isn’t shown in the photos. This is a great sized single bedroom and can double up a great home gym or office if desired. The next two bedrooms are marvellous double rooms that are very tastefully decorated.
Finishing out in the rear garden, this generous area is perfect for entertaining for the whole family and guests (when permitted!). It begins from the French doors with a block-paved patio that expands to the side of the extension where there is a secure gate to access the side and front of the home. The garden then rises onto a wide lawn that covers the rest of the garden with a tall wooden fence perimeter providing extra privacy.

Comments
This property is offered for sale via the Reservation Fee Service which is a flexible and buyer friendly method of purchase. The purchaser will be given 90 working days in which to complete the transaction from the date the Draft Contract is issued by the sellers solicitor.
By giving a buyer time to exchange contracts on the property, normal residential finance can be arranged. The Buyer’s Premium secures the transaction and takes the property off the market. Fees paid to the Merchant are paid in addition to the purchase price and are considered within calculations for Stamp Duty Land Tax. Further clarification on this must be sought from your legal representative.
The buyer will be required to give the Merchant 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 Merchant.
If the vendor accepts an offer, the buyer will be required to make payment of a non-refundable Buyer’s Premium of £6,582 including VAT, plus a legal pack charge of £372 including VAT, a total of £6,954. This secures the transaction and takes the property off the market. Any additional fees and charges over and above this will be confirmed within the terms and conditions available on the website.
The Buyer's Premium and legal pack charge are in addition to the final negotiated selling price.
All buyers will be required to verify their identity and provide proof of how the purchase will be funded.
Energy Performance Certificate (EPCs)
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.

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.
