Access and Rights of Way

Access is provided via a private driveway, which is within the vendor’s ownership. The neighbouring property benefits from a formal right of way for all purposes over this driveway. This right will be clearly documented within the legal title. N.B. Public footpath 201/26/1 runs the entire length of the access track. Prospective purchasers are advised to consult the County Council’s definitive footpath maps for further information and to satisfy themselves as to the precise route and extent of the footpath.

Flood Risk:

Parts of the site are known to be susceptible to flooding, particularly during periods of prolonged rainfall. The vendor has undertaken routine clearance of the adjacent river to improve drainage. Nonetheless, interested parties are advised to undertake their own investigations, and it is anticipated that any future development proposals would require a formal Flood Risk Assessment.

The land lies outside any defined settlement boundary and is considered to be open countryside in planning terms. The existing use is primarily agricultural and equestrian. Any alternative use or development would be subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents.
