Agents note:
The wooden cabin situated within the garden is understood to have been constructed approximately six years ago. Prospective purchasers should be aware that no building regulation certificates are available in respect of the installation of the wood burning stove or the electrical works serving the cabin. However, the heating system, which operates via radiators connected to a modern LPG gas boiler supplied by gas bottles, has been certified. In addition, no planning permission was obtained for the construction of the cabin.

We are also advised that there is an Approved Planning Application for a residential development of 9 detached dwellings, together with new vehicular access and associated works, on land situated behind Lavender Cottage. However, based on the proposed positioning of the development site, it is not anticipated to materially affect the property's outlook or privacy. Planning REF: 2025/1216/FUL

Identity Verification
To ensure full compliance with current legal requirements, all buyers are required to verify their identity and risk status in line with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations before we can formally proceed with the sale. This process includes a series of checks covering identity verification, politically exposed person (PEP) screening, and AML risk assessment for each individual named as a purchaser. In addition, for best practice, we are required to obtain proof of funds and where necessary, to carry out checks on the source of funds being used for the purchase. These checks are mandatory and must be completed regardless of whether the purchase is mortgage-funded, cash, or part of a related transaction. A disbursement of £49 per individual (or £75 per director for limited company purchases) is payable to cover all aspects of this compliance process. This fee represents the full cost of conducting the required checks and verifications. You will receive a secure payment link and full instructions directly from our compliance partner, Guild365, who carry out these checks on our behalf.
