Agents Notes - Whilst there is under floor heating throughout the ground floor the sun room is controlled separately.

There is gas to the property, however, the radiator heating is run through the Aga, wood burner and solar panels.

The Horse and Gate has an array of 16 solar panels installed in January 2012. These are mounted, angled on the flat roof of the sunroom. The current owners have found that the panels provide all their electricity during daylight hours during the summer and an additional income of around £1650 per annum. This is because the "Feed In Tarriff" was agreed at an unusally high rate (currently £0.77 pkwh). The great news for purchasers is that contract continues with the property until 2037

Planning - We have been informed by the vendors that planning permission was granted for the change of use of Agricultural Building to a Dwelling House to the West of Horse & Gate on the 13th November 2015. We understand this planning permission was for a single-storey unit comprising hall, open plan kitchen/dining/living room, bedroom and bathroom. Although this planning has now lapsed it could be re-submitted for re-approval by a new purchaser should they so wish. Further details can be found on the East Cambridgeshire District Council's Planning Portal using reference 15/01415/ARN.

Viewing Arrangements - Strictly by appointment with the Agents.
