Agents Note:

The vendors advise that the driveway is owned by Broadstone but the two neighbouring properties (Trenchford & Pine Tree House) have a right of passage over the drive to their garage and individual parking space. As do Smith Hay House for access to their secondary drive.

The vendor also advises that before the gas fire was installed by the previous owner, there was originally a woodburner in the living room so the chimney is lined for this.
