Description
potential development opportunity- subject to planning consent and contract- In the heart of the village of Sparham.
The property has been in the same family for generations and provided a home to them (detached period house) and the family coal merchants business. The business is now relocating.
Our initial 'pre- application' enquiry on behalf of the current owners was positive and their response is available (see agents notes below). The response favoured 4 new dwellings, although there appears space at least for much more. The property is sold as seen, with the eventual purchaser to be responsible for planning applications after purchase, a conditional sale will not be agreed.
The guide price reflects this and the vendors will seek an uplift sum, once any planning consent is obtained (subject to contract)

Important Notice:
For each Lot, a contract documentation fee of £1,500 (inclusive of VAT) is payable to Barnard Marcus Auctions by the buyer. The seller may charge additional fees payable upon completion. If applicable, such fees are detailed within the Special Conditions of Sale. Buyers are deemed to bid in full knowledge of this.
The Guide Price quoted must not be relied upon by prospective purchasers as a valuation or assessment of value of the property. It is intended to provide purchasers with an indication of the region at which the reserve may be set at the time of going to press. The guide price may be subject to variation and interested parties are advised to make regular checks for variations and should be aware that the reserve price may be either below or above the quoted guide price.
Prospective purchasers should also be aware that the eventual sale price may be above or below the guide level dependent upon competition, and should therefore not presume the guide to be indicative of the final expected sale price or the price the property is available at.
When setting the guide price, the auctioneers have given consideration to the seller's instructions in respect of their indicated reserve price at the time of instruction. The reserve price, (the level below which the property will not be sold), remains confidential between the seller and the auctioneer. The guide price therefore, is intended to indicate the region at which the reserve price is intended to be set. The seller will confirm their final reserve price close to the auction date and if appropriate the auctioneers may adjust the guide price to reflect this.
