AGENT'S NOTES

We understand that this property is one of many in the area built upon land included in the 'Mickleton lease', which is an historic 1000 year lease from 1607. This doesn't generally cause any issues and is quite a commonplace arrangement in the local area, and further details are available upon request. Please note: the current EPC was carried out 5 years ago, before the ASHP heating was installed – so a current rating would be better than indicated. The neighbouring property has a right of access at the west end of the rear garden to access their external store. This causes little impact, but additional screening could easily be installed to mitigate if desired.
