GROUNDS
As previously mentioned, undoubtedly a feature of the property is the superb plot which measures approximately 1.5 acres subject to land survey and is South Westerly facing. The property itself sits towards the front of the plot and has an in and out driveway with five bar gates and a central gate with pedestrian pathway giving access to the property itself. Virtually the whole plot is laid to lawn with numerous trees and with the outbuildings close to the property and there is a large pond at the rear boundary.

IMPORTANT NOTES
We understand from the sellers that about 35 years ago the property suffered some structural movement to the now kitchen / breakfast room which was caused by trees which were then removed.

It has been discussed and agreed with the sellers that the entire plot will almost certainly have an "overage" of 30% of the land value for a period of 20 years built into the sale agreement thus financially safe guarding the current sellers for any future development.

Due to the potential development possibilities with this property viewings will ONLY be made to buyers / developers who are financially in a position to proceed and to finance a property with an "overage" in place which is highly likely to be cash buyers only. However, the sellers will consider alternative proposals from buyers dependent upon the offers received.

It is considered that it is highly likely that the land to the left hand side of the property may well be able to be re-developed, subject to the necessary consents. No planning permission has been granted nor has been applied for previously for this or any other part of the land.

The land opposite this property, nothing to do with the sellers of this property, is currently planned to be re-developed. Further details are shown on the council website and forms part of the Great Leighs masterplan
