This cottage’s kitchen is in need of modernisation and offers plenty of potential.

The boot room can still be retained as a practical entrance space or utility space for the home.

This is great-sized living room with dual aspect windows and a wood burning stove set into a timber and brick fireplace. With some modernisation, this room could be converted into a snug or home office, offering a versatile space that connects easily to the main kitchen and dining areas.
The dining room
Located at the rear of the cottage, the sitting room leads into a conservatory that opens onto the patio—making it an excellent spot for entertaining. Both rooms require updating but hold great potential for creating a warm and inviting space. Stairs from the sitting room lead to the house bathroom and two bedrooms.

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 highlighted in a survey that 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.

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 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.
