Description
The property forms part of a small cul-de-sac set along Oxford Drive in a popular and established residential area a short distance to the north of the centre of the town.  

In recent years the property has been tenanted and whilst the accommodation is perfectly serviceable, it does now require updating in areas.  In all the accommodation extends to nearly 1,200 sq. ft (108 sqm) and comprises an entrance hall, 20’ sitting room, conservatory, dining room, kitchen and cloakroom on the ground floor, whilst on the first floor there is a principal bedroom with en-suite shower room, three further bedrooms and a bathroom.

Outside there is a generous block paved driveway that leads to a detached double garage.  There is a garden to the front of the property together with a south facing, terraced garden at the rear.  

Structural Survey
Some cracking is clearly evident in the base of the conservatory, both internally and externally.  Consequently the vendors instructed a structural engineer, JP Chick & Partners Ltd to investigate this further and a copy of their report is available to prospective purchasers on request.

The report concludes that the base of the conservatory has failed, which could be as a result of either a defective drain beneath the base of the conservatory or, possibly, settlement of the foundation and/or subsoils beneath the conservatory floor slab.  The exact cause of the defect can only be determined on further investigation, but the report concludes that the conservatory would probably need to be demolished and replaced with a piled foundation/slab design.  Importantly, the report confirms that “movement and damage is restricted to the conservatory and does not transfer into or affect the main structure”.  

We would suggest that mortgage lenders should be made aware of this issue at the outset and provided with a copy of the JP Chick & Partners Ltd structural report.
