Services
Mains water and electricity. Private drainage system (it is believed that the property is served by a septic tank. Whilst this works in a satisfactory manner, it is unlikely to comply with the newest drainage regulations and a buyer should budget to install a new sewage system at their own cost. This cost has been taken into account within the guide price.)
The property does not have central heating but the fireplace in the sitting/dining room has a back boiler that serves some radiators and the hot water. The hot water tank also has an immersion heater.
