Highfield Farm, Aston Juxta Mondrum, CW5 6DU

DESCRIPTION

Highfield Farm. Aston Juxtra Mondrum is an exceptionally rare buying

opportunity that has been deliberately priced at a competitive level to

attract market attention. The property is a striking individual detached

residence believed to date originally from the late 1800s and which has

subsequently extended over time. As presently configured whilst one

overall house, it is split into three different sections described in these

particulars as Highfields House, Squirrels Wood and The Paddocks.

The front section referred to in these particulars as Highfields House

offers really impressive accommodation. The entrance hall has a

beautiful tessellated floor and original staircase with spindle balustrade

rising to the first floor. The rooms in this section of the house are all

large, with the ground floor providing a substantial breakfast kitchen, a

conservatory and drawing room. At first floor level there is a large

master bedroom with ensuite shower room and two further bedrooms

and a family bathroom. Upon an internal inspection it will become clear

that the property is in need of significant modernisation and

improvement. Squirrels Wood is the middle section of the house and

has at ground floor level a living room, snug, conservatory and

breakfast kitchen. At first floor level there are two further bedrooms

and a family bathroom in addition to a store area The Paddocks is the

section to the rear and this has at ground floor level a

conservatory/rear porch, family room and a kitchen. On the first floor

there is a further bedroom with ensuite bathroom.

There are numerous potential options for the property. One is for a

private individual to restore the property as a conventional family

home perhaps with ancillary space within it. A second option is for a

speculator or developer to convert the present property into

apartments or two or three residences, subject to the necessary

planning permissions being granted. Due to the sheer amount of space

it is envisaged that other potential interested parties will have identified

a range of potential uses.

The property has the benefit of a long driveway approach that is within

its ownership and grants access to the other properties around. The

subject property itself has a front parking/driveway area, a section of

the yard to the rear and the garden and small paddock to the side.

Outstanding rural views can be enjoyed particularly from the front

facing rooms of the house.

RESERVE PRICE

The seller's minimum acceptable price at auction and the figure below

which the auctioneer cannot sell. The reserve price is not disclosed

and remains confidential between the seller and the auctioneer. Both

the guide price and the reserve price can be subject to change up to

and including the day of the auction.

GUIDE PRICE

An indication of the seller's current minimum acceptable price at

auction. The guide price or range of guide prices is given to assist

consumers in deciding whether or not to pursue a purchase. It is usual,

but not always the case, that a provisional reserve range is agreed

between the seller and the auctioneer at the start of marketing. As the

reserve is not fixed at this stage and can be adjusted by the seller at any

time up to the day of the auction in the light of interest shown during

the marketing period, a guide price is issued. This guide price can be

shown in the form of a minimum and maximum price range within

which an acceptable sale price (reserve) would fall, or as a single price

figure within 10% of which the minimum acceptable price (reserve)

would fall. A guide price is different to a reserve price (see separate

definition). Both the guide price and the reserve price can be subject

to change up to and including the day of the auction.
