PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
20 Church Road is a statuesque 5 bedroom three storey Detached house, offering a unique level of spacious accommodation, and privacy, ideally suited for a large or a growing family.
An extensive renovation was carried out to a high standard to make this house a very low maintenance property in 2011, which included making a through lounge, tiling the entire ground floor, plastering, installing a new central heating system, installing a new kitchen, and new bathroom.
The property has recently undergone further improvements during the past few years to include new roof, new combi boiler, underfloor insulation as well as internal insulation.
There are still opportunities with this property that can be explored, although immaculately done and in perfect move in condition, there are still some areas that are in need of some TLC, but have functional facilities and would make a great project for those looking to put their own stamp on a Victorian property.

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.
