Additional Info

AGENTS NOTE:

There is an area of the garden (around 1/3 acre) at the entrance of the drive that may hold potential for building a house in the future. Planning is unlikely in the short to medium term, because of its proximity to the River Ash and current planning rules. However planning rules may change, hence the potential.
