THE PROPERTY

A Freehold detached family home with a mature 0.5 Acre garden running adjacent to the Horsbere Brook.

Originally there were five cottages on the plot and Woodleigh is a combination of two of the cottages having been knocked through to create one property. We have been advised by the vendors that according to a survey in 1968, the oldest part of the residence is approximately 300 years old and the extended side area dates back to approximately 1958 when planning permission was granted.

Accessed by a generous driveway to the front of the property with parking for multiple vehicles. The downstairs accommodation comprises entrance hall through to a spacious sitting room boasting a feature fireplace, and stairs to the first floor loft rooms. The two generous loft rooms are currently being used as storage but were previously occupied as bedrooms by the current owners. On the opposite side of the hall downstairs there are two double bedrooms; one of which benefits from a generous open storage cupboard.
Through the hallway towards the rear of the property is the kitchen/diner which offers plenty of space for a dining table, integrated oven and hob and an open storage cupboard currently housing the washing machine. There is also a downstairs cloakroom, shower room offering walk in corner shower and basin and a storage room positioned at the rear of the building offering access to the side of the property and garden. There is an open barn / garage area attached to the property that has a car inspection pit and provides cover for useful outdoor storage items.

The large 0.5 acre plot has ample turning and parking space at the front and runs parallel with the Horsbere Brook whilst the rear section of the plot is laid mainly to lawn with mature borders.

GUIDE PRICE

An indication of the seller's current minimum acceptable price at auction. The guide price or range of guide prices is given to assist consumers in deciding whether or not to pursue a purchase. It is usual, but not always the case, that a provisional reserve range is agreed between the seller and the auctioneer at the start of marketing. As the reserve is not fixed at this stage and can be adjusted by the seller at any time up to the day of the auction in the light of interest shown during the marketing period, a guide price is issued. This guide price can be shown in the form of a minimum and maximum price range within which an acceptable sale price (reserve) would fall, or as a single price figure within 10% of which the minimum acceptable price (reserve) would fall. A guide price is different to a reserve price (see separate definition). Both the guide price and the reserve price can be subject to change up to and including the day of the auction.

RESERVE PRICE

The seller's minimum acceptable price at auction and the figure below which the auctioneer cannot sell. The reserve price is not disclosed and remains confidential between the seller and the auctioneer. Both the guide price and the reserve price can be subject to change up to and including the day of the auction.

BUYER'S PREMIUM

Please be aware all purchasers are subject to a £1000 + VAT (£1,200 inc VAT) buyer's premium which is ALWAYS payable upon exchange of contracts whether the sale is concluded before, during or after the auction date.
