SITUATION
St Aubyn's Engine House is situated between the hamlets of Busveal and Vogue in a fine position. The village of St Day is about a mile to the east offering a range of everyday facilities and amenities which are supplemented further by the town of Redruth about 1.5 miles to the west and the cathedral city of Truro about 7 miles to the east. There is a junction to the A30(T) about 3 miles to the north and there are stations on the London Paddington line both at Redruth and Truro.
DESCRIPTION - AUCTION GUIDE £25,000-£50,000
On the Grade II Listing, St Aubyn's Engine House is believed to date from the late 19th century and is recorded as a pumping engine house. On the listing it refers the Engine House ‘as an impressive and conspicuous landmark now isolated in rural surroundings’. With a gated access directly from the adjacent country lane, the Engine House stands within its own grounds extending to about 0.79 of an acre and offers some potential for conversion to create a residential home – subject to all necessary consents and approvals.
SERVICES
Mains water and electricity nearby - please see South West Water Plc Water and Drainage Search within the auction legal pack.
VIEWING
Strictly and only by prior appointment with Stags’ Truro office on 01872 264488. Please take great care whilst viewing, particularly with children and pets – there is an opening to the east of Engine House.
DIRECTIONS
Travelling from St Day towards Redruth, at The Star Inn at Vogue, turn left towards Gwennap Pit and drive up the hill for about 250 yards. Turn right (unsignposted) opposite Mynheer Farm. Follow the road sharply to the left and right, drive down the hill, pass the Engine House and the gate to the field is on the left-hand side after about a further 75 yards.
PROOF OF IDENTITY
Under Money Laundering Regulations 2017, it is a requirement for Estate Agents to perform due diligence checks on any person that intends to bid at auction. There will be a requirement for all bidders to register via the online sales site and complete the ID checks. There is no charge for registration.
BUYERS AND ADMINISTRATION FEES
The successful Purchaser(s) will be liable to pay the sum of £5,000. From this a Buyer’s Fee of £2,400 including VAT is retained by Stags/Bamboo Proptech as a contribution towards the online platform costs, and £2,600 is payable towards the purchase price. An additional Administration Fee of £600 including VAT will be payable by the successful Purchaser immediately after the auction.
DEPOSIT PAYMENT
The Seller and Buyer agree that the winning Bidder may transfer the any remainder of the 10% deposit (less the amount paid online) within 48 hours at the end of the Online Auction. Clauses 6.1, 6.2 and 7.1 of the Holding Deposit Agreement shall be read as amended to reflect this accordingly. Payment is to be made via the Buyer’s solicitor to the Vendor’s solicitor. We therefore recommend all bidders clear Anti Money Laundering Regulations with their solicitor prior to the auction and make the balance of the deposit monies readily available for transfer immediately thereafter.

†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.
