There is also a train station at Campsea Ashe, 6 miles to the south-east, again with trains to London via Ipswich.
Description
Manly offers an exciting opportunity for someone to either refurbish the existing bungalow or look to obtain planning permission to demolish it and construct a new dwelling. Whilst it is believed the local planning authority would look favourably upon such an application, this has not been investigated by the vendors nor Clarke and Simpson. It is believed the current dwelling dates from the early 1960s and is of pre-fabricated, sectional construction with brick elevations. The main bungalow is under a tiled roof. Adjoining the bungalow is an annexe which has been used for many decades as overflow accommodation that was originally an office then show room. This appears to have a corrugated asbestos roof.
The bungalow stands in an outstanding position within its grounds that extend to 2 acres.
Method of Sale
It is anticipated that the property will gain significant interest and with this in mind, and also taking into account the condition of the building/its construction, we are offering the property by Informal Tender where Best and Final Offers must be received by the agent no later than 12 noon on 11th October 2023. Should you wish to make an offer for the property, please contact Clarke and Simpson who will provide you with the tender document. It should be noted that interested parties may struggle to obtain a mortgage on the property and before submitting a tender, should seek confirmation from their lender that they are willing to provide finance on a building of this nature.
