Services

Mains gas, electricity, water & drainage. Gas fired central heating and double glazing installed throughout. Please note: measurements are approximate so may reflect the maximum dimensions and the mention of any appliances/services within these particulars does not imply that they are in full and efficient working order.

Due to the property being previously utilised as a B&B, there are two hot water cylinders in place, located in a cupboard off Bedroom 2, to accommodate additional hot water requirements. The property is currently being maintained with just the one cylinder being used.

To the ground floor, there are blinds fitted to the south facing windows, forming a heat protection. These are sunscreen blinds (allows outward views, but not inward) and they protect the furniture and flooring, keeping the property cooler on those warmer sunny days.

Solar Panels and Easement

Solar panels (16) are in place on the south facing aspect of the property and these are used to heat the water. We understand these are on a high feed-in tariff which generates approx. £2,000 per annum ensuring the cost efficiency of the property. We believe this feed-in tariff is in place until 2036, with an annual increase by RPI rates, and is transferrable to a new owner, subject to the paperwork being submitted to the relevant company to change the details upon completion.

A power supply Easement is in place, which is owned by the vendors of the property and they are paid approx. £1.13 per annum for the privilege, and the paperwork relating to this can be submitted to the relevant company for transfer to the new owners, upon completion of the sale.
