The building plot is set along The Street, a short distance to the south of the centre of the popular and desirable village of Cretingham.  The village itself benefits from a church and a highly respected pub, The Bell.  The village of Brandeston is 1.5 miles and is home to Framlingham College’s Prep-school. Framlingham itself is just 5.5 miles from the property and offers a comprehensive range of services and facilities including a supermarket, doctors surgery, dentist, veterinary practice, garaging, cafes, restaurants and pubs, as well as excellent schools in both the state and private sector. The property is within 10 miles of Woodbridge and the county town of Ipswich is just 15 miles. From here there are main line railway services to London's Liverpool Street station scheduled to take just over the hour. The Heritage Coast at Aldeburgh is within 20 miles, with the other coastal resorts of Thorpeness, Southwold, Walberswick and Orford in the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, all within easy reach.  

Description
Planning permission was granted on 5th October 2023 (Reference DC/23/0942/FUL) for the erection of a single storey two bedroom dwelling with vehicular access.  A copy of the planning permission, together with extracts of the consented plans, is included within these particulars.

The planning permission provides for the construction of a spacious, detached bungalow, that extends to approximately 1,216 square feet (113 square metres) in all.  The proposed accommodation comprises an entrance hall, an open plan kitchen, dining and sitting room, a utility room, cloakroom and plant room.  In addition there is the principal bedroom with en-suite shower room, second double bedroom and a bathroom.  Outside there will be a generous parking and turning area immediately to the front of the property, whilst to the side and rear of the proposed dwelling will be the gardens. The rear garden faces almost due west and therefore enjoys the sun throughout the afternoon and into the evening.

Every care has been taken with the preparation of these particulars, but complete accuracy cannot be guaranteed.  If there is any point, which  is of particular importance to you, please obtain professional confirmation. Alternatively, we will be pleased to check the information for you.  These Particulars do not constitute a contract or part of a contract.  All measurements quoted are approximate.  The Fixtures, Fittings & Appliances have not been tested and therefore no guarantee can be given that they are in working order.  Photographs are reproduced for general information and it cannot be inferred that any item shown is included.  No guarantee can be given that any planning permission or listed building consent or building regulations have been applied for or approved.

2.  The Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017 require all Estate Agents to obtain sellers’ and buyers’ identity.

3. In the unlikely situation of our client considering an offer prior to auction, a premium price would have to be put forward and the purchaser would be required to sign the contract and put down a 10% deposit and pay the Buyers Administration Charge, well in advance of the auction date.  An offer will not be considered unless a potential buyer has read the legal pack and is in a position to immediately sign the contract.  The seller is under no obligation to accept such an offer.   It should be noted that Clarke and Simpson cannot keep all interested parties updated and at times will be instructed to accept an offer and exchange contracts without going back to any other parties first. 

4.  Additional fees:  Buyers Administration Charge - £900 including VAT (see Buying Guide).  Disbursements - please see the Legal Pack for any disbursements listed that may become payable by the purchaser upon completion.

5. The guide price is an indication of the sellers minimum expectations.  This is not necessarily the figure that the property will sell for and may change at any time prior to the auction.  The property will be offered subject to a reserve (a figure below which the auctioneer cannot sell the property during the auction) which we will expect to be set within the guide range of no more than 10% above a single figure guide.

6. Drawings included by kind permission of Messrs Hollins Architects.
