Additional Information

There is a slight anomaly with the cellars which is to be resolved if the properties are purchased separately. Cellar 2 is currently accessed via 202 Huddersfield Road, which would no longer be the case, as the doorways would be blocked up. There is uPVC double glazing throughout and gas fired central heating. The property is served by a septic tank which is in the neighbouring property, has been installed for some time and appropriate working order. If it is required that the septic tank be brought up to a higher specification, this will be done so at the purchaser's expense alongside the neighbouring properties. Carpets, curtains and certain other extras may be available via separate negotiation. On portions A and B of the land, there is a 30%, 30-year uplift clause for future residential or commercial development. This does not include normal domestic buildings within the usage of the current homes.

Garden

The subject property has both pedestrian and vehicular rights of way over the neighbouring property, giving access to the front garden. There is a good sized flagged area which provides a delightful sitting out space, a lawn with stone wall boundaries, and mature trees and shrubbery. It should also be noted that there is a further parcel of land (marked A on the plan) which is the lower section of the field and offers a generously proportioned grass area and a parking space on the lane leading down to it. There is also an area of woodland.
