DESCRIPTION
The sale of this property affords prospective purchasers a unique chance to acquire a former South West Water reservoir set within approximately 8.03 acres of mixed woodland and amenity land, enjoying a quiet and private position on the edge of Dartmoor National Park.
In total the property extends to 8.03 acres (3.25ha) or thereabouts and is offered for sale by Online Timed Auction as a whole . The full extent of the property is shown edged in Red on the accompanying plan.
SITUATION

Ivybridge affords a thriving and active community with a range of amenities, to include primary and secondary schools, traditional inns, bustling high street and mainline rail service to London. The city of Plymouth lies 15.0 miles away to the west and affords a larger range of commercial, recreational and education services. Constructed in 1916, the reservoir historically served Ivybridge, before being made redundant in 2006.

Once in the village, turn right at the church and follow the road uphill towards the moorland car park (sign-posted as shut to public). Here, staff members will be waiting to meet applicants and will accompany them on foot to the property from this point.

†Traditional auction
Exchange occurs at the end of the auction. This means that if the reserve is met or exceeded and the auction timer reaches zero, the successful bidder is legally obliged to pay the purchase price and the seller will be legally obliged to sell the property. To ensure that the successful bidder proceeds, the buyer is automatically charged a holding deposit, which is held in a secure client account, pursuant to the terms of a holding deposit agreement.
* Pricing Information
The Guide Price amount specified is an indication of each seller's minimum expectation. It is not necessarily the amount at which the property will sell. Each property will be offered subject to a Reserve (a figure below which the property will not be sold) which we expect will be set no more than 10% above the Guide Price amount.
