Zion Hill, Oakhill, Radstock, BA3

Description

Located in one of the quieter areas of the village and in an elevated position this attached three bedroom cottage was once 3 x one bedroom cottages. Lovingly restored by the current owner over 50 years ago to provide a family home with kitchen, two reception rooms, three bedrooms, downstairs cloakroom and first floor bathroom. The main property retains many character features offering good sized accommodation which would now benefit from a programme of refurbishment and updating.

Externally, there is a large Laundry room with washing facilities to include plumbing for a washing machine, sink and a wc, Adjoining this building, is the former Chapel which is a Grade II Listed building which is currently unsafe to access. The original features include stone arch windows. The lower level is accessed from Zion Hill, with a right of way across the neighbour’s driveway providing vehicular and pedestrian access to the carport / storage space. This space offers versatility for the new owners.

The gardens are south facing, are laid to lawn with well stocked borders with shrubs and herbaceous plants with interlinking pathways.

Registering to bid and Administration fee

Cooper and Tanner requires all bidders who wish to bid at our Auction to register beforehand, whether you are intending on bidding in the room, by proxy or online. As part of the registration process, you will be asked to provide card details in order that the Buyer’s Administration Fee of £1,395 inc VAT can be paid if you are successful. A week before the auction a hold will be placed on your account for this sum, which will then be released if you are unsuccessful. This fee will only be taken if you are the successful buyer. The fee is retained by Cooper and Tanner and does not form part of your deposit or completion settlement. Please also be aware that the Buyer’s Administration fee is payable per lot purchased and applicable to all pre-auction sales. If you are successful in purchasing more than one lot, we will contact you following the auction to take subsequent payments for additional lots bought. All checks required by current anti-money laundering legislation must be satisfactorily completed, as part of the registration process before prior approval to bid will be granted; this will include providing proof of funds.

Fees

Potential buyers should be aware that there may be additional fees payable to the Vendor’s solicitor on completion of the sale, details of which will be contained within the auction pack for each lot. At the launch of the property onto the market this information is not always available and so interested parties must refer to the auction pack and satisfy their enquiries.
