3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Mayfield Avenue, Worcester WR3

A corner plot and private driveway for up to three cars distinguish this three bedroom home, with a long rear garden.

Description

Occupying a corner plot, this semi detached home combines a spacious front living room with a separate kitchen overlooking the rear garden. Renovation works have updated the interior, including contemporary kitchen cabinetry and bathroom fittings, with some finishing touches remaining. Upstairs are two double bedrooms, a smaller third bedroom and a family bathroom, complemented by a downstairs WC. Outside, a small front garden, private driveway for up to three cars and a rear garden with patio, lawn and two sheds complete the property.

The ground floor
White kitchen cabinetry and pale work surfaces combine with contrasting tiled splashbacks to create a fresh, contemporary space. A broad window overlooks the rear garden, while an adjoining side entrance provides outdoor access and access to the downstairs WC.

The spacious living room faces the front garden through a broad window. Ceiling coving and a chimney breast with recessed opening give the room definition, while its direct connection to the kitchen keeps the two principal ground floor spaces closely linked.

The first floor
Two rear facing windows give the primary bedroom an outlook over the garden. This double room has an uncomplicated shape, with space for wardrobes and bedroom furniture without relying on fitted storage.

The second double bedroom overlooks the front and has a chimney breast with recesses to either side. Its separation from the primary bedroom places the two larger bedrooms on opposite sides of the landing.

The smaller third bedroom also faces the front, with a window overlooking the approach. It provides single bedroom accommodation and could alternatively serve as a home office if three bedrooms are not required.

Contemporary fittings give the family bathroom a coordinated finish, with a vanity basin, WC and bath with an overhead shower and glazed screen. Marble effect wall panels surround the bathing area, complemented by contrasting black fittings and an obscured window.

The garden and parking
A paved patio beside the property leads to a long lawned rear garden, with a central path and timber fencing along the sides. Two sheds provide useful storage, while a picket fence divides the garden into separate sections.

The corner position accommodates a private driveway with space for up to three cars beside the home. A small front lawn, established hedging and shrubs soften the approach, with a path leading to the covered front entrance.

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.
