Special Conditions of Sale

The property will be sold subject to the Special Conditions of Sale, copies of which may be inspected at the Vendor’s solicitors or auctioneers offices 7 days prior to the date of the sale.

Additional Information

Details regarding the overage provision and fees are provided within the Special Conditions of Sale. Although the property lies within the “Green Belt”, there is a historical precedent on three separate occasions for releasing small parcels of land adjoining Cemetery Road to permit a single house for bungalow to be built. Sufficient space remains along the border with Cemetery Road for at least one, and probably two, such plots, provided that approval for release could be obtained.
