Churchstanton, Taunton, TA3

Situated to the west of Lot 1 this comprises a ring fence parcel of gently sloping traditional pasture with frontage onto the River Culm. To the south of the river is an attractive area of woodland extending to about 1.79 acres.

In total, lot 2 extends to about 30.35 acres and is shown coloured blue on the accompanying plan.

Please note whilst the vendor has legal title to the area hatched black on the western boundary but they do not have physical occupation of that area. The Land Registry file plan also does not include the additional area of land hatched orange which is within the fence line boundary on the eastern boundary.  On that basis, a statement of truth has been prepared and is available from the vendors solicitor and agent. The vendor therefore has an area of land that is physically within the their ownership but they do not have legal title. The area declared is as per the current legal title.
