Agents Note

We understand that a small section of the rear garden, together with similar arrangements affecting neighbouring cliffside properties, forms part of Network Rail ownership following historic Land Registry boundary revisions introduced during the digitisation of title plans in the early 2000s. The area has long been enclosed, maintained and enjoyed as part of the garden, reflecting an established arrangement that has existed for many decades and continues to provide practical benefits to both the homeowners and Network Rail. The current owners regularised the position in 2018 through a separate deed granting possessory title, which is expected to convert to full title in 2030, supported by an indemnity policy

.

Network Rail retain rights of access for inspection and maintenance of the cliff area; however, the established arrangement confirms that homeowners are not responsible for the cliff face itself. We understand that ground investigations undertaken by Network Rail in 2018 identified the cliff surrounding Parsons Rock as solid rock extending below sea level. Further information, supporting documentation and title plans are available from the selling agents upon request.
