Location
Pipers Vale is situated along an idyllic no-through country road within the village of Clopton. There is a village hall with playing field and a 13th Century Church. Shops and services can be found at Woodbridge which is just 6 miles. The village of Otley is 2 miles and this has a primary school, shop, doctors surgery and pub. The county town of Ipswich is 8 miles and has national stores as well as train services to London’s Liverpool Street Station. Suffolk’s Heritage Coast with destinations such as Aldeburgh is approximately 18 miles.
Description
It is believed that Pipers Vale was built in the early 2000s of brick and block construction with weatherboarded elevations under a tiled roof. It benefits from timber framed double glazed windows throughout and an oil fired central heating system. Internally, there is an open-plan kitchen/dining room leading to a good sized sitting room. In addition are two double bedrooms and a bathroom. One of the joys of the property is its lovely position along an attractive country lane. It stands in grounds of 0.56 acres and has a garage and a substantial amount of parking.
Subsidence
The property is deemed to have suffered from subsidence and the benefit of insurance cannot be passed onto a buyer, so they will be buying without the benefit of remedial works being complete. It is believed, therefore, that a mortgage company will not currently lend on the property. The agents have copies of various reports that can be emailed to interested parties.

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. The agents have not been made aware of any covenants or restrictions that may impact the property, unless stated otherwise. Any site plans used in the particulars are indicative only and buyers should rely on the Land Registry/transfer plan.
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.

By setting a proxy bid, the system will automatically bid on your behalf to maintain your position as the highest bidder, up to your proxy bid amount. If you are outbid, you will be notified via email so you can opt to increase your bid if you so choose.
If two of more users place identical bids, the bid that was placed first takes precedence, and this includes proxy bids.
Another bidder placed an automatic proxy bid greater or equal to the bid you have just placed. You will need to bid again to stand a chance of winning.
