Agents Notes
There is an informal right of access across the property granted to the owner of the garden to the southeast of Holystone Priory Cottage.
When there is a funeral, the hearse is driven across the northern part of the property and parked at the door of the church.

It is assumed that the septic tank is non-compliant with the General Binding Rules. The guide price has been adjusted to take this into account and that the buyer will have to resolve this issue.
