Method of Sale We have been instructed to offer the property for sale by auction at 6pm on Thursday 12th October 2017, unless sold previously. For our client to consider an offer prior to auction, a premium price would have to be put forward and the purchaser would be required to sign a contract in the office of Clarke & Simpson and put down a 10% deposit well in advance of the auction date. An offer will not be considered unless a potential buyer has read the legal pack and is in a position to immediately sign the contract. The seller is under no obligation to accept such an offer. It should be noted that Clarke & Simpson cannot always keep interested parties updated and, at times, will be instructed to accept an offer and exchange contracts without going back to any other parties first. If the property is sold in the auction room, the contract will be signed immediately and the purchaser will put down a 10% deposit. On the night of the auction, it is necessary for potential buyers to register their interest by providing identification prior to bidding in the form of a driving licence or the photo page of a passport, along with a utility bill with the buyer s name and address on it. Once exchange has taken place, completion will take place 14 days thereafter. Please refer to Clarke & Simpson s Auction Catalogue for general auction conditions. The vendor s solicitor is preparing an Auction Legal Pack for the property. We can email this to interested parties or a copy will be made available to view in the office of Clarke & Simpson. We recommend that prospective purchasers put their solicitor in touch with the vendor s solicitor to raise any additional enquiries before the auction.

Location Brodies is situated on Wadd Lane, which is a small rural road in Snape. The main village is under a mile from the property and benefits from a primary school and two inns, The Golden Key and The Crown. The village hall hosts many classes and activities plus a lively WI. Also close at hand is the world famous Snape Maltings Concert Hall, together with the acclaimed retail complex and Plough and Sail Inn, set on the River Alde. There are wonderful walks within the area, both along the river to Aldeburgh and Iken, and in the nearby forest. Sailing is to be found at Orford and Aldeburgh, and there are many golf courses in the area. Snape also has a bus service to Aldeburgh, Woodbridge and Ipswich, and there is a railway station in the market town of Saxmundham, which is about three miles away. Here there are also Waitrose and Tesco supermarkets. Description Brodies was purchased in April 2016 by the current vendor for 375,000. Since then, it has been let for holiday use by Suffolk Secrets with a peak season weekly rent of 900 and a low season rent of 600 a week. The vendor now needs to raise funds and is, therefore, prepared to sell the property at a greatly reduced price for a quick sale.

There is an open plan kitchen/dining/sitting room with south facing windows and bi-fold doors overlooking the pretty rear garden. The property has three double bedrooms, two of which have en-suite shower room. In addition is a family bathroom and a utility room.
