3 bed detached house for sale

Froxmere Road, Crowle, Worcester WR7

Offered chain free, this detached village home combines open plan living, a garden and a long garage with scope for improvement and personalisation.

Description

Overlooking a green on Froxmere Road, this three bedroom detached home offers scope to improve and personalise in the village of Crowle. The ground floor brings together a kitchen, dining area and living area in one connected space, with sliding doors opening onto the rear garden. A separate utility and cloakroom complement the accommodation, while upstairs are three bedrooms and a bathroom with both a bath and separate shower. Outside, the garden combines lawn and paving, alongside a long garage and driveway parking for one to two cars.

The ground floor
White panelled cupboards, marble effect worktops and tiled splashbacks define the kitchen, with a built in oven and hob. The sink overlooks the rear garden, while the open connection to the dining area keeps the cook part of the conversation.

Sliding doors connect the dining area directly with the paved terrace, allowing meals to move outside in warmer weather. Positioned between the kitchen and living area, this space brings the three parts of the ground floor together without dividing them into separate rooms.

The living area extends towards the front of the property, where a broad window overlooks the green opposite. High level side windows bring in further daylight, while a chimney breast creates a natural focus within the long reception space.

Separate from the main living space, the utility has a worktop and space for laundry appliances, keeping these functions away from the kitchen. The adjoining cloakroom contains a WC and vanity basin, with a window providing natural light.

The first floor
The primary bedroom faces the front, with a broad window looking towards the green. Built in wardrobes occupy one wall, providing storage without interrupting the main floor space.

Overlooking the rear garden, the second bedroom has room for a double bed or twin beds. A sloping section of ceiling reflects the roofline, adding character while leaving the central part of the room at full height.

The third bedroom also faces the rear and offers an alternative as a home office if three bedrooms are not required. Its sloping ceiling and simple proportions provide a starting point for redecoration and personalisation.

Grey wall tiling gives the bathroom a coordinated finish around a corner bath and separate glazed shower enclosure. A vanity basin provides cupboard storage beneath, alongside a WC, while a broad window brings daylight into the room.

The garden and parking
A paved terrace adjoins the rear of the home, with steps rising to a lawn edged by timber retaining borders. Established shrubs and trees frame the garden, offering space for outdoor dining and play, with access to the garage from the rear.

The paved driveway provides parking for one to two cars and leads to the garage beside the property. Its interior offers potential for storage or hobbies alongside its existing use, while the gravelled frontage keeps garden maintenance modest.

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.
