The property is conveniently located and within only a few miles of the popular destination of Windermere.
Due to its general condition, the property is deemed unmortgageable, therefore this auction is open to cash buyers only.

The property is presented in an un-modernised condition and provides considerable scope and opportunity to reconfigure, refurbish and extend (subject to planning permission).
There is evidence of a number of cracks both externally and internally to the property. A visual inspection survey was carried out in June, with further investigation July 2023, to determine the source of the cracking. The structural survey was commissioned and is for the sole use of the vendor, therefore an extract of the observations and recommendations have been provided and are available for download from the Hammer Price Homes website. No further crack monitoring or structural surveys have been undertaken to date. The property is sold as seen and whilst the survey extracts are there to give an idea of issues and remedial actions, viewing is considered essential and prospective buyers are to obtain their own independent advice and are welcome to bring along builders/structural specialists to viewings if required.
There will be no grounds for the buyer to withdraw from the sale with a return of the reservation fee citing issues around the condition of the property (including anything of a structural nature), for any issues in financing the purchase, or for anything to do with the searches.
