Sliding patio doors open onto the raised terrace, and a door links back to the reception hall.

The garden
Encircling the home, the formal gardens provide space for relaxing and entertaining. A broad stone terrace spans the rear of the home with steps down to lawns and planted borders, while a rose-covered arch and herbaceous beds edge paths around the house. A greenhouse, shed and fruit cage sit within the grounds, together with outdoor taps and an external power point.

Beyond the terrace a mature pond, dotted with water lilies, forms a wildlife haven. A weeping willow and specimen trees provide shade and a meandering path circles the water, creating a tranquil place to walk. The pond is well stocked with fish and visited regularly by ducks, swans and moorhens, offering endless interest for wildlife lovers.

The grounds extend into a level lawn to the River Avon, where the property enjoys two moorings. Open lawns provide space for games and camping and a fence marks the river boundary. The paddock is fringed with mature trees and is a haven for geese, woodpeckers and other birds, while the river invites kayaking, paddle boarding and lazy afternoons by the water.

The outbuildings
A remarkable range of outbuildings offers space for hobbies, storage and business use. The principal workshop measures around sixty feet by forty feet and benefits from three-phase electricity and, by separate negotiation, a car lift, together with an internal office, adjoining store and a useful external WC with wash basin, ideal for workshop use, gardening and outdoor maintenance. A row of five modern garages and a separate double garage provide secure parking for classic cars, caravans or equipment.

The driveway and parking
The property is approached via a long gated driveway that affords a sense of arrival. At the end of the drive a gravelled turning circle surrounds a mature tree and leads to extensive parking. The drive continues into a fenced yard giving access to the five-bay garage block, double garage and workshop, with space for many vehicles.

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. This fee, unless specified otherwise, is payable upon acceptance by the vendor of an offer from a buyer and completion of an assessment of the buyer’s financial status and ability to proceed.

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.

This fee represents the cost of compliance administration and verification services undertaken in connection with the proposed purchase including anti-money laundering checks, sanctions screening, source of funds verification, proof of funds checks and associated compliance procedures.

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.
