Building Plot - Planning permission was granted in May 1978 for the 'Erection of new dwelling after demolition of existing' on the western half of the property. It is understood that the existing structure, which has been built up to ground floor level and which also incorporates a single garage was started within five years of the grant of permission and therefore the planning permission is still valid.

Services - Mains water and electricity, private drainage system. Oil fired central heating via radiators (no radiator in bed 2).
