THE PROPERTY
Introduction & Approach
The remarkable, extended family home in Wednesbury will drop the jaws of all that view. It will especially impress all viewers that require plenty of living space and enjoy a contemporary living style. The house holds an elevated position away from Park Lane behind a huge tarmac driveway that can easily hold six cars (three abreast), possibly nine! From the driveway, guests will make their way up to the main entrance door, with a secondary door to the left for direct access to the office.
Ground Floor
The porch is a generous space for guests to remove coats and shoes and has an opening to the left, through to the office area. Currently this area is used for storage although the owner had designated this area to use as a home office. Being a lengthy room and have an exit door to the rear, the room has plenty of potential uses.
From the porch, viewers will take a second secure door into the hallway and it is even at this point the people will understand just how well finished this home is. There is a plush carpeted staircase to the left-hand side of the hallway with a handy storage cupboard underneath. From the hallway there are doors off to the lounge, family room and a ground floor shower room.
The shower room is a marvellous suite that features a tall shower cubicle, modern heated towel rail and a row of units incorporating the toilet and a wide ceramic sink. The shower room also doubles up as a utility room as there is plumbing and space for a washing machine and dishwasher. The lounge at the front of the house has a wonderful large bay window that allows plenty of natural light. The chimney breast no longer features a fireplace but provides a lovely reminder of the property’s original character.
The family room at the rear would originally have been the dining room but is now the beginning of a huge L-shaped open-plan area that is the most impressive room of the house. It opens out to an incredible full width extension with a glorious vaulted ceiling and two large skylights. There is further natural light brought in by a large set of bi-folding doors leading out to the patio.
The kitchen suite oozes style with its two-tone blue suite and solid wooden work surfaces. There are plenty of integral features including a fridge and freezer, low-level double oven, dishwasher and a five-burner has hob uniquely positioned in front of a double-glazed window and having an overhead extractor fan. The entire kitchen and dining areas have tiled flooring whereas the family room has high quality wood-effect flooring like the majority of the ground floor.
First Floor
Moving upstairs, the landing area of this home features doors leading off to all three bedrooms and the family bathroom. The layout is much the same as the original build although the presentation is a good as the floor below. Keen viewers may have noted that the rear of the property protrudes wider than the front and therefore the third bedroom at the rear left of the house is a generous single bedroom, arguably a small double. The remaining two bedrooms are brilliant doubles, with the master at the front having a continuation of the glorious bay window from the lounge below.
Finally for the interior, the family bathroom suite matches the fetching presentation of the shower room on the ground floor. It comprises of a similar row of units incorporating a toilet and ceramic wash basin, a bathtub with shower and screen fitted over and a modern heated towel rail.
Outside
The house comes with a fantastic, landscaped rear garden that begins from the bi-fold doors with a block-paved patio that wraps round to the side access from office. The patio is deep enough to hold an outdoor furniture set with a retaining wall to separate from the lawn. Slabbed steps to the left of the patio lead up to the lawn that features two levels with two large trees at the far end. The whole garden is surrounded by wooden fencing to enhance privacy.

CURRENT 70/85 POTENTIAL
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 £5,582 including VAT, plus a legal pack charge of £372 including VAT, a total of £5,954. 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.
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.
