Description

This semi-detached home combines period character with separate living and dining rooms, each featuring a fireplace. The kitchen adjoins the dining room, with a utility area providing access to the bathroom. Upstairs, two double bedrooms include a principal bedroom with extensive fitted storage, while the second bedroom enjoys a dual aspect. A raised deck connects with the tiered rear garden, where lawn, borders and seating areas create distinct outdoor spaces. Below the living accommodation, an integral garage complements the driveway parking.

The ground floor
Red and yellow tiled splashbacks bring colour to the kitchen, complemented by timber effect cabinets and red work surfaces. A stainless steel sink sits beneath the side window, while an extractor hood serves the cooker space. The adjoining utility area provides access to the bathroom.

A carved fireplace surround and recessed timber cupboards give the dining room its character. Its direct connection with the kitchen keeps the two spaces closely linked, while a side window overlooks the external approach.

An arched cast iron fireplace with a timber surround and dark hearth creates an attractive centrepiece in the living room. Windows to the front and side give a dual aspect, with access from the entrance hall keeping this reception room separate from the dining room.

White wall tiles with blue borders frame the bathroom’s panelled bath, electric shower, pedestal wash basin and WC. A mirrored cabinet adds storage, while an obscured window admits daylight. Access is through the utility area.

The first floor
French doors open directly from the primary bedroom onto the timber garden deck, giving this room a distinctive outdoor connection. Fitted wardrobes and overhead cupboards provide extensive storage, balanced by the character of a decorative cast iron fireplace.

Windows to the front and side give the second double bedroom an open outlook across neighbouring rooftops. A cupboard adds useful storage, with the room positioned across the landing from the primary bedroom.

The garden and parking
A balustraded timber deck extends from the primary bedroom, creating a sheltered spot for outdoor dining. Steps connect the tiered garden’s lawn, stocked borders and further seating areas, with brick retaining walls, mature trees and a timber shed adding structure and interest.

A sloping block paved driveway provides parking beside the home, with stepped pedestrian access rising alongside it. The integral garage occupies the level beneath the living accommodation and offers additional storage or space for workshop activities.

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:

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, subject to a minimum reservation fee of £750. This fee, unless specified otherwise, is payable upon acceptance by the vendor of an offer from a buyer.

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

A Compliance and Verification Fee of £85 plus VAT (£102 inc VAT) per individual purchaser or related party requiring anti-money laundering, identity, source and proof of funds or financial verification checks is payable upon acceptance of an offer and receipt of the reservation 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.
