A FORMER beauty salon situated in a "prime location" in Taunton has been put on the market.

The East Reach property, previously Essential Beauty and Aesthetics, has a guide price of £165,000 and is set to be sold by Modern Method of Auction.

Previously used as a commercial property with a shop front abutting the road, the two upper floors of the building have flexible accommodation for a range of uses.

Marketed by Fox and Sons, the property's description on Rightmove reads: "East Reach in Taunton is a prime location for the town centre. This property was last used as a commercial property with a shop front abutting the road. The two upper floors have flexible accommodation for a variety of uses.

"Taunton is the County Town of Somerset which is in the heart of the West Country.

"The town has excellent amenities, a selection of independent and high street shops, restaurants, cafes and attractions, with a wealth of history, all whilst being surrounded by beautiful countryside.

"This combined makes Taunton a great place to live."

What else do I need to know?

A spokesperson from Fox and Sons added: "This property is offered through Modern Method of Auction. Should you view, offer or bid your data will be shared with the Auctioneer, iamsold Limited.

"This method requires both parties to complete the transaction within 56 days, allowing buyers to proceed with mortgage finance (subject to lending criteria, affordability and survey).

"The buyer is required to sign a reservation agreement and make payment of a non-refundable Reservation Fee of 4.5% of the purchase price including VAT, subject to a minimum of £6600.00 including VAT.

"This fee is paid in addition to purchase price and will be considered as part of the chargeable consideration for the property in the calculation for stamp duty liability.

"Buyers will be required to complete an identification process with iamsold and provide proof of how the purchase would be funded.

"The property has a Buyer Information Pack containing documents about the property. The documents may not tell you everything you need to know, so you must complete your own due diligence before bidding.
