The detached swimming pool building, measuring approximately 14.3m by 6.7m, is to be located in the east garden with access via a new patio area.

The approved plans also include architectural enhancements sympathetic to the character of the property and permit significant lifestyle upgrades while maintaining a clear separation between the historic home and the new pool building.

Fees

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:

2. Serious and material defect in the seller’s legal title.
