Seller’s Comments
'This is a quirky, homely home that has a lovely feel of comfort and sense of belonging the minute you walk in.
This beautifully renovated and tastefully extended 1880’s Railway Signal-man’s Cottage has a charming external appearance but it does not stop there, with additional delights found within and an array of hidden storage possibilities and clever nooks and crannies’ to help you keep a tidy, well presented residence.
Epsom Overground train station is mere 5 minute walk away, where you can reach numerous major London Overground and Underground Stations heading into Town in as little as 35 minutes and Guildford and Dorking Overground Stations are a hop and a skip away (heading in the opposite direction).
If it’s a spot of shopping you are after, the Epsom Ashlea Centre is just a few minutes’ walk away and in town you will also find you are spoilt for choice with an extensive list of bars, restaurant’s, parks and a Cinema too! The neighbours are friendly and helpful, we have been part of this community for nearly 20 years and we will miss our Epsom neighbours for sure.'

An EPC is broadly like the labels provided with domestic appliances such as refrigerators and washing machines. Its purpose is to record how energy efficient a property is as a building. The certificate will provide a rating of the energy efficiency and carbon emissions of a building from A to G, where A is very efficient, and G is inefficient. The data required to allow the calculation of an EPC includes the age and construction of the building, its insulation and heating method. EPCs are produced using standard methods with standard assumptions about energy usage so that the energy efficiency of one building can easily be compared with another building of the same type. The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) requires that all buildings have an EPC when they are marketed for sale or for let, or when houses are newly built. EPCs are valid for 10 years, or until a newer EPC is prepared. During this period the EPC may be made available to buyers or new tenants.
By setting a proxy bid, the system will automatically bid on your behalf to maintain your position as the highest bidder, up to your proxy bid amount. If you are outbid, you will be notified via email so you can opt to increase your bid if you so choose.
If two of more users place identical bids, the bid that was placed first takes precedence, and this includes proxy bids.
Another bidder placed an automatic proxy bid greater or equal to the bid you have just placed. You will need to bid again to stand a chance of winning.
