A small stone wall surrounds the picturesque gardens with grass, and shrubbery with a stream passing through the front of the garden to a small pond. The rear garden has a large patio area. A meadow to the rear of School House and the neighbouring property Mellbreak Croft was purchased by both properties in 2018 and has been divided in to two corresponding plots, each one owned by the different properties. Though the Land Registry Title clearly divides the land, there is currently an informal arrangement between the neighbours, to use the meadow as a shared amenity, both allowing access on to each other's land. This is an informal arrangement and its continuation would be subject to future mutual agreement. In the event this arrangement did not continue, both properties would of course still have use of their own portion of the meadow. Please note there is a restricted covenant on the rear meadow for no buildings allowed.
Driveway with ample parking and double garage.

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on April 26, 2024
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
