Planning - In the opinion of the agents there is potential for alternative non-agricultural opportunities on the buildings, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consent. Purchasers should note it is their specific responsibility to investigate the planning potential themselves.

Tenure & Possession - The whole of the property is offered freehold with vacant possession given upon completion.

Plan, Area & Description - The plan, area and description are believed to be correct in every way, but no claim will be entertained by the vendor or the agents in respect of any error, omissions or misdescriptions. The plan is for identification purposes only.

Land Registry Title - The Land Registry title numbers are WK497494 and WK452041.

Method Of Sale - The whole of the property will be offered for sale by private treaty with the vendor willing to consider un conditional offers.

Rights Of Way - A public footpath along western boundary adjacent to building 2.

We are not aware of any other rights of way, easements or wayleaves that benefit or affect the property in any way, although, it is assumed that the property benefits from all the necessary rights of way, wayleaves and easements for services and access.

Overage - The vendor will impose a development clawback based on 30% of the uplift in value for a period of 30 years for any non-agricultural or non-equestrian use on the buildings or land.

This clause will be triggered either upon the implementation of a planning consent or the sale of the property following the grant of planning consent. For the avoidance of doubt any agricultural buildings or stables or equestrian facilities constructed and used for this purpose would not trigger the clawback clause.

Services - Mains electricity is connected to the property, while the water is fed from a borehole situated in close proximity to the yard. A further water connection comes from Hill Farm House, however the vendor has never used this connection and should the purchaser wish to do so, then it will be their responsibility to install a submeter and ensure the correct rights are in place.

The residential dwellings adjacent are connected to a private drainage system, which is situated on the land includes within this sale. The residential dwellings are not part of this sale, however the manhole which benefits the dwellings’ drainage system is situated behind building 7 and it is believed the owners benefit from the appropriate rights for access and maintenance relating to the manhole and drainage system.

The Bore hole tank is in Building 7 and feeds the water troughs situated in the fields.

There is a separate three phase electricity supply for the farm buildings to a meter in Building 2 (Grain Store).
