For Sale by Public Auction.
A Rare Development Opportunity with Character, Generous Plot and Scope for Improvement
A charming two-bedroom terraced cottage occupying a substantial and unusually generous plot, offering excellent potential for redevelopment, extension or reconfiguration, subject to the necessary planning and other consents.
The property will appeal particularly to developers, investors and buyers looking for a project, with the extensive garden providing a significant amount of additional outside space and potential to explore alternative uses or an extension of the existing accommodation, subject to planning.
The cottage itself retains a wealth of attractive period features, including exposed beams and fireplaces, providing an excellent foundation for a sympathetic refurbishment combining its original character with a more contemporary specification. The existing accommodation could also lend itself to reconfiguration, subject to the relevant consents.
The current accommodation briefly comprises an entrance hallway, lounge, dining room, kitchen, pantry, useful storage rooms and downstairs WC. To the first floor are two bedrooms and a family bathroom.
Externally, the property benefits from a particularly large and established garden, well stocked with mature plants, trees and shrubs. The size and nature of the plot is a key feature of the property and provides considerable scope for those looking to maximise its potential.
Auctioneers Note
Prospective purchasers are advised that signs of cracking have been observed within the property. These may be indicative of structural movement or settlement. Buyers are strongly encouraged to undertake their own due diligence and, if necessary, obtain independent professional advice or reports prior to bidding.

Auction Terms
The property will unless previously withdrawn, be sold subject to the Special and General Conditions of Sale, which have been settled by the Vendor’s Solicitor and are contained within the Auction Legal Pack. This pack is available to download to registered bidders. The conditions may also be inspected in the Sale Room at the time of the sale but they will not then be read. The purchaser shall be deemed to bid on those terms whether he shall have inspected the Conditions or not.
The sale of this property will take place on the stated date by way of a live, in-room auction and is being sold as Unconditional with a Fixed Fee. Some sellers may consider a pre-auction offer, and the Lot may be sold or withdrawn before the auction.
Binding contracts of sale will be exchanged at the point of sale.
Auction Deposit and Fees
The following deposits and non-refundable auctioneer’s fee apply. These will need to be paid to the auctioneer on exchange of contracts:
•10% deposit (subject to a minimum of £5,000)
•Buyer’s Premium of £1,500 inc. VAT
•Search pack of £336 inc. VAT
There may be additional costs listed in the Special Conditions of Sale, which will be available to view within the Legal Pack. These additional costs will be payable to the seller’s solicitor on Completion. You must read the Legal Pack carefully before bidding.
Guide Price & Reserve Price
The guide price offers an indication of the price below which the vendor is not willing to sell. It is not necessarily the exact final sale price and is subject to change prior to and up until the day of the auction. Any change in the guide price will reflect a change in the reserve (a figure below which the auctioneer will not be able to sell). The reserve can be expected to be set within the guide range or not more than 10% above a single-figure guide. (RICS Common Auction Conditions 4th Edition).
