Description The house, which is believed to be of timber-framed construction, has rendered elevations under a slate tiled roof. It is envisaged that an incoming purchaser will either carry out a complete renovation project, possibly extend the property or will apply for planning permission to demolish the existing dwelling and construct a new house.

The property is in a pleasant location and stands in grounds of 2.7 acres. Part of the land is cropped and let under an annual Farm Business Tenancy to a local farmer. Whilst it may be possible to obtain vacant possession sooner, interested parties should assume that the farmer is most likely to require holdover of the agricultural land until after harvest 2019.

The property is being offered to the market by private treaty but it is envisaged that there will be strong interest which may result in the agents requesting informal tenders by a set date.

Overage The property is sold subject to an overage clause whereby if Planning Permission or Permitted Development is granted for any further dwellings within the grounds within the next twenty years, the vendors will receive 30% of the uplift in value. For the avoidance of doubt, the overage will not be triggered by constructing a replacement dwelling on the site, or building an annexe or any outbuildings including stabling. The Accommodation
