THE PROPERTY

Breadstone House is a substantial Grade II listed country house of charm, character and scale in the village of Breadstone, near Berkeley, Gloucestershire. The property sits within grounds of circa 2 acres with a formal driveway leading to the house sitting towards the rear of the plot. We understand the original house is Georgian and during the 19th Century was remodelled with a picturesque Gothic Revival frontage plus various additional wings and extensions added in the 1980’s to support its most recent use as a residential care home. The vast accommodation is circa 10,000 Sq Ft and arranged primarily over 2 floors and split into 3 distinct areas with various outbuildings in the grounds.
Sold with vacant possession.

Tenure - Freehold

BUYER’S PREMIUM

Please be aware all purchasers are subject to a £1,500 + VAT (£1,800 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.

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 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.
