to garden.

• Outside - The whole extends to 0.14ha/0.33acres broadly made up of a large
‘formal’ garden and the former kitchen garden to one side.

Location - If you want to live in the ‘middle of nowhere’ but be only about two miles from a town centre, this cottage is for you. Two miles away is St Austell town centre which includes local amenities for general shopping, supermarket, pharmacy and dentists. A greater depth of facilities are available within the wider area of St Austell including the leisure centre at Polkyth, cinema, bowling alley, and a number of well known supermarket brands. The town also benefits from a mainline train station, linking Penzance to London Paddington. Access to the A30 is within a 20 minute drive and is the main route outside of Cornwall. Beyond St Austell town lie the sandy sheltered beaches of the south coast, the picturesque fishing villages of Mevagissey and Polperro, Cornwall's capital city Truro, and the stunning coastal walks of the Roseland Peninsula, an area of outstanding natural beauty.

Legal And Information Pack - A full legal pack can be purchased online. Please telephone the office below to check availability.
We strongly recommend you instruct a solicitor to inspect the legal pack on your behalf.
Guides are provided as an indication of each seller's minimum
expectation. They are not necessarily figures which a property will sell
for and may change at any time prior to the auction. Each property will be offered subject to a Reserve (a figure below which the Auctioneer cannot sell the property during the auction). 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. The ‘Reserve Price’ may exceed the ‘Guide Price’ listed. If so, it is customary for the ‘Reserve Price’ to exceed the guide price by no more than 10%.

Purchaser's Administration Fee of £1,500 (£1,250 plus VAT) payable to

Administration fee will be £900 (£750 plus VAT). If two or more lots are
offered together in the first instance, or lots are purchased under one
contract, the administration fee will apply per lot and not per contract.
The charge will apply to lots bought prior to and post auction.
• In the event of non-payment or underpayment a deduction will be
made from the deposit received. A VAT receipt will be issued in the
name of the buyer.
• Disbursements – Please see the legal pack for any disbursements listed that may become payable by the purchaser.
