Summary
Three Bedroom Detached House Requiring Structural Works
Cracks to Floor and Internal Walls with Movement Noticeable
Will Require Buyer with Knowledge, Time and Suitable Funding

Fantastic Potential Offering Approaching 1400 sq. ft of Accommodation
Favoured Residential Area, approx. ½ mile southeast of Ross Town Centre

Overview
Constructed some 45 years ago, well after the development of most properties in Merrivale Lane in an ‘infill' plot, Updown is in easy walking distance of both town facilities and open countryside.

Unfortunately the property does suffer from some fairly major defects including large cracks to the main floor slab, cracks to both lower and first floor internal walls as well as some external. The internal movement is very noticeable and will require attention before any of the other ‘updating' works can be carried out at the property. Purchasers may wish to consider seeking a professional opinion on the works required and associated costs of same prior to making any offers on this property.

Once completed however, this property could be a lovely family home with it's generous internal accommodation with three extremely well-proportioned bedrooms, 19' Sitting Room and adjoining Kitchen benefiting from glorious views towards wooded Chase Hill.

Outside to the front of the property is a sloping tarmac drive leading towards the single garage with paths leading down both sides of the property to the low level, courtyard rear garden. This offers a low-maintenance, predominantly paved seating area with some shrub borders.

This property has had a high degree of interest over the period it has been marketed due to it's seemingly affordable price point. However please be aware that there is likely to be a significant sum of money required to be spent on the property before it could be habitable. Moreover, it is unlikely that the property would be mortgagable in it's current state.

We would welcome a discussion with any potentially interested party and are happy to arrange viewings for anyone appropriately positioned to take on this project.

Directions
Leave the centre of Ross at the stone built market house, proceeding southwards from the town on the B4234 towards Walford. After passing the Prince of Wales Pub on your right, turn left in to the The Avenue and thereafter right into Eastfield Road. Take the first turning left into Merrivale Crescent, and left again into Merrivale Lane. Updown will be found on your right hand side, shortly before the right turning into Blake Avenue.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on January 13, 2023

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on January 13, 2023

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services

    Energy Performance data and Internal floor area: obtained on February 8, 2018 from The Energy Performance of Buildings (Certificates and Inspections) (England and Wales) Regulations 2007 or the Home Report if in relation to a residential property in Scotland.
