Description
A property offering huge potential! Elizabeth Humphreys Homes are delighted to welcome to the market this fabulous Grade II listed brick-built property located in the Northumberland town of Alnwick. This unique property, with no chain, has original wooden sash windows, gas central heating and all the other usual mains connections. The property, with a lovely open and green outlook, is superbly located within walking distance of the town centre, local shops and bus stops and is minutes from the Alnwick Playhouse, The Alnwick Garden and Lilidorei. This property offers light and bright living and is your opportunity to realise your vision and create your ideal home within a gorgeous period property.
Entry is via the original wooden front door into an internal hallway with stairs to the first floor and various doors leading off. There is a window for natural light at the foot of the stairs which enhances the sense of space.
The first reception room is spacious. The large sash window overlooking the green to the front allows a huge amount of natural light to circulate. There are storage cupboards on either side of the fireplace framing it perfectly.
The kitchen is accessed from the first reception room. It offers a good number of wall and base units with a wood-effect door complemented by a grey worksurface and harlequin splashback tiling. There is a single bowl stainless steel sink beneath a window capturing views of the green to the front, plumbing and space for a washing machine, a four-burner gas hob and space for an under bench electric oven beneath a chimney-style extractor fan. Leading from the kitchen is a hallway which provides access to the rear of the property in addition to housing a large pantry cupboard.
The second reception room is another large lounge space with a view over the green to the front of the property and a window to the rear. This room is a light and bright space with a gas feature fireplace and two storage cupboards.
Taking the stairs to the first floor, the spacious landing, with a window allowing for natural light, opens out to three bedrooms, the bathroom and a useful storage cupboard. There is some cracking visible within areas of the first floor which would need attention.
The primary bedroom is a good-sized double room overlooking the front. This room offers a built-in storage cupboard with a partially visible fire surround - a nod to the history of the property.
Bedroom 2 is another double room with a large window overlooking the front. There is a built-in cupboard and another hint to the period of the property with a fireplace which remains partly evident.
Bedroom 3 is a large single room overlooking the front of the property. This room offers a good-sized storage cupboard. All the bedrooms are beautifully light and bright.
The bathroom, which is half tiled to two walls, comprises a white bath, a pedestal wash hand basin, a white toilet and a window overlooking the rear which allows for natural light.

Opening Bid and Reserve Price
This Property is subject to an undisclosed Reserve Price which in general will not be 10% more than the Opening Bid. The Reserve Price and Opening Bid can be subject to change. The Online Auction terms and conditions apply.
Comments
This property is offered for sale via Online Auction which is a flexible and buyer friendly method of purchase. The purchaser will not be exchanging contracts on the fall of the virtual hammer, but will be given 56 working days in which to exchange and complete the transaction from the date the Draft Contract is issued by the sellers solicitor.
By giving a buyer time to exchange contracts on the property, normal residential finance can be arranged. The Buyer’s Premium secures the transaction and takes the property off the market. Fees paid to the Auctioneer reserve the property to the buyer during the Reservation Period and are paid in addition to the purchase price and are considered within calculations for Stamp Duty Land Tax. Further clarification on this must be sought from your legal representative.
The buyer will be required to give the Auctioneer authority to sign the Reservation Form on their behalf and to confirm acceptance of the Terms and Conditions prior to solicitors being instructed. Copies of the Reservation Form and all Terms and Conditions can be found in the Information Pack which can be downloaded from our website or requested from our Auctioneer.
Upon close of a successful auction, or if the vendor accepts an offer during the auction, the buyer will be required to make payment of a non-refundable Buyer's Premium of £6,000 including VAT, plus a buyer's administration charge of £372 including VAT, a total of £6,372. This secures the transaction and takes the property off the market. Any additional fees and charges over and above this will be confirmed within the terms and conditions available on the website.
The Buyer's Premium and buyer's administration charge are in addition to the final negotiated selling price.
All buyers will be required to verify their identity and provide proof of how the purchase will be funded.
Buyer's Administration Charge
If the Buyer Information Pack has been produced and provided by GOTO Group any successful purchaser will be required to pay £372 (including VAT) towards the cost of the preparation of the pack. These can then be used by your solicitor to progress the sale.
Buyer Fees
There are no other fees or charges payable to the Auctioneer however, there are other costs to consider such as:
- You will need a Solicitor to act for you during the conveyancing and your Solicitor will advise you in relation to the associated costs. If you do not have a Solicitor, we can recommend the services of one of our Panel Solicitors who are all selected for their expertise in Auction Transactions. Please call the number below for more information.
- Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) is applicable if you buy a property or land over a certain price in England, Wales or Northern Ireland. Please click here for more information.
Energy Performance Certificate(EPCs)
An EPC is broadly like the labels provided with domestic appliances such as refrigerators and washing machines.Its purpose is to record how energy efficient a property is as a building. The certificate will provide a rating of the energy efficiency and carbon emissions of a building from A to G, where A is very efficient, and G is inefficient.The data required to allow the calculation of an EPC includes the age and construction of the building, its insulation and heating method.EPCs are produced using standard methods with standard assumptions about energy usage so that the energy efficiency of one building can easily be compared with another building of the same type.The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) requires that all buildings have an EPC when they are marketed for sale or for let, or when houses are newly built. EPCs are valid for 10 years, or until a newer EPC is prepared.During this period the EPC may be made available to buyers or new tenants.
* Generally speaking Guide Prices are provided as an indication of each seller's minimum expectation, i.e. 'The Reserve'. They are not necessarily figures which a property will sell for and may change at any time prior to the auction. Virtually every property will be offered subject to a Reserve (a figure below which the Auctioneer cannot sell the property during the auction) which we expect will be set within the Guide Range or 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.
