Location
11 Playford Lane is situated within the parish of Rushmere St Andrew which benefits from the best of both worlds being in a lovely semi-rural location, yet within minutes of Ipswich and all it has to offer.  The historic  market town of Woodbridge is 5 miles.  Rushmere St Andrew itself benefits from a fine church, St Andrews, and has football clubs and Ipswich YM Rugby Club in the vicinity.  There are many footpaths and bridleways offering excellent walking routes, as well as Rushmere Common, home to the popular Rushmere Golf Club.   

Rushmere St Andrew forms part of the eastern edge of the Borough of Ipswich with Ipswich's town centre approximately 2½ miles to the south-west. Ipswich provides a comprehensive range of facilities including an extensive range of local and national shops, businesses, wide range of public houses and restaurants, and the popular Waterfront area. In addition to this there is a wide variety of schools in both the state and private sector. The mainline Ipswich railway station runs regular rail services to London's Liverpool Street Station, which take just over the hour. There are also very good road links to the A14 and A12 trunk roads. 

Directions
From the A12 at the Park and Ride roundabout head towards Ipswich along Kesgrave Road along A1214. Proceed straight over two roundabouts and through one set of traffic lights for approximately 1.5 miles. Take a turning on your right into Bent Lane and at the T junction turn right and immediately left into Rushmere Street. Continue for approximately half a mile where Playford Lane can be found on the right before the church. The property can be found towards the bottom of the lane identified by a Clarke and Simpson For Sale board.

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. Please note that in this instance Flagship have stated that the property will be sold by auction only.

4. Additional fees:  Buyers Administration Charge - £1,200 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. Flagship Housing Ltd have a restriction against use of the property as a House of Multiple Occupation (HMO). The incoming purchaser may wish to explore a release of this restrictive covenant with Flagship Housing Ltd directly.

7. Any prospective buyer interested in adding additional units, subdividing the garden, or altering the property’s use will be required to obtain a release of covenant from Flagship Housing Ltd, along with the necessary permissions.
