Location
Rose Villa is located on a country lane within the sought after parish of Charsfield. From the property itself, there are pleasant walks along Monewden Road and an assortment of public footpaths. The village has a primary school, first class playing fields with tennis courts and children’s playing equipment. The property is located in an excellent position for access to Framlingham (5 miles), Wickham Market (4 miles), Woodbridge (6 miles) and the county town of Ipswich (11 miles). Both Framlingham and Woodbridge are well known for their excellent schools in both the state and private sectors, with Framlingham having Thomas Mills High School and Framlingham College, and Woodbridge being home to Farlingaye High School and Woodbridge School. Woodbridge is located on the banks of the River Deben and offers a wide variety of shops and restaurants. The medieval market town of Framlingham, with its Norman castle, is also home to a good range of local shops and businesses. Ipswich has national stores, as well as trains to London’s Liverpool Street, scheduled to take just over the hour.
Description
Rose Villa is a period cottage with a large extension added in the 1970s. In recent years, part of the cottage suffered from fire damage and remedial work was not undertaken. It is envisaged that a buyer may either look to carry out a full refurbishment/renovation programme or may explore the opportunity of demolishing the existing structure and building a new dwelling. Neither the agents nor the vendors have been in contact with East Suffolk Council’s planning department to investigate whether they would look favourably upon such an application.

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.
