Description

2 Whatcombe Terrace is a charming two bedroom mid terrace house that now requires a scheme of updating and improvement but could be a perfect for a first time buyer or investment purchase. The property is set in an elevated position within walking distance of the town centre but also close to open country side.

The property is approached up a set of shared steps to the front. The front door opens into an entrance hall with an archway to the kitchen and a door to the sitting room. The kitchen is a light room with lovely views over the town to the countryside beyond. It is well equipped with a range of fitted wall and base units and white goods (which will remain at the property). The sitting room lies to the rear and has a gas fire in a stone hearth and surround and sliding doors opening onto the rear garden. The stairs rise to the first floor landing with doors opening onto to the two bedrooms and bathroom. The rear bedroom is the larger of the two and has a built in wardrobe with the front bedroom having an airing cupboard. The bathroom has a white suite comprising a WC, wash hand basin and bath with shower over.

Outside

The garden lies predominantly to the rear of the property and is a lovely, enclosed space. It is arranged over a couple of tiers with a seating area immediately adjoining the house.

To the front is a small, paved area which would be used for storage or a little seating area. There is an area of lawn that then runs down from the house to the pavement.

There is a single garage with a metal up and over door and a parking space to the front in a block to the side of the terrace.

Registering to bid and Administration fee

Cooper and Tanner require all bidders who wish to bid at our Auction to register beforehand, whether you are intending on bidding in the room, by proxy or online. As part of the registration process, you will be asked to provide card details in order that the Buyer’s Administration Fee of £1395 inc VAT can be paid if you are successful. A week before the auction a hold will be placed on your account for this sum, which will then be released if you are unsuccessful. This fee will only be taken if you are the successful buyer. The fee is retained by Cooper and Tanner and does not form part of your deposit or completion settlement. Please also be aware that the Buyer’s Administration fee is payable per lot purchased. If you are successful in purchasing more than one lot, we will contact you following the auction to take subsequent payments for additional lots bought. All checks required by current anti-money laundering legislation must be satisfactorily completed, as part of the registration process before prior approval to bid will be granted; this will include providing proof of funds.

Deposit

Successful bidders will be required to pay to the Cooper and Tanner Client Account the deposit of 10% of the purchase price within 24 hours of the auction. The account details will be provided to the successful bidder on conclusion of the auction. Once funds are cleared, they will be transferred on to the account of the solicitor acting for the seller. Please ensure that funds are in an account suitable to be able to make an Electronic Transfer from.

Fees

Potential buyers should be aware that there may be additional fees payable to the Vendor’s solicitor on completion of the sale, details of which will be contained within the auction pack for each lot. At the launch of the property onto the market this information is not always available and so interested parties must refer to the auction pack and satisfy their enquiries.
