Location - The village of Bitton provides an eclectic variety of properties some old and some new have been blended into this picturesque village. Meadows Farm lies in an extremely private and peaceful setting well away from the main road and approached via some of the most impressive and historic houses in the village. The Georgian city of Bath is within 5.5 miles whist Bristol is within 8 miles. The M4 is accessible at junction 18 and high speed train services are available from both Bath and Bristol. Whilst there are excellent facilities within the village, with its beautiful church, local shop, primary school two garages and a public house, clearly the cities of both Bath and Bristol offer a plethora of opportunities.

The Opportunity - A chance to live the rural idyll - A large farmhouse with leisure facilities and stables at a modest price.

Important Auction Information - IMPORTANT AUCTION INFORMATION

BUYER’S PREMIUM
Please be aware all purchasers are subject to a £1000 + VAT (£1,200 inc VAT) buyer's premium which is ALWAYS payable upon exchange of contracts whether the sale is concluded before, during or after the auction date.

GUIDE PRICE
An indication of the seller's current minimum acceptable price at auction. The guide price or range of guide prices is given to assist consumers in deciding whether to pursue a purchase. It is usual, but not always the case, that a provisional reserve range is agreed between the seller and the auctioneer at the start of marketing. As the reserve is not fixed at this stage and can be adjusted by the seller at any time up to the day of the auction in the light of interest shown during the marketing period, a guide price is issued. This guide price can be shown in the form of a minimum and maximum price range within which an acceptable sale price (reserve) would fall, or as a single price figure within 10% of which the minimum acceptable price (reserve) would fall. A guide price is different to a reserve price (see separate definition). Both the guide price and the reserve price can be subject to change up to and including the day of the auction.

RESERVE PRICE
The seller’s minimum acceptable price at auction and the figure below which the auctioneer cannot sell. 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.
