Agent Note

We are informed by the vendor that historically, the owners of No. 2 used the path and gate between the properties to access the front of their house. However, since the current owner of No. 2 took ownership approximately 10 years ago, this use has ceased.
The garden may experience flooding at the lower end of the property due to rising springs. This does not occur every winter and typically drains away within a few days.
