Agent's Notes
Oil fired central heating served by a boiler newly installed in 2018. The electricity distribution board was upgraded in 2007 and was reinspected in 2016 when the dining/conservatory was added. There has been some underpinning of the property and full details of the repairs, together with details of a recent inspection, are available upon request.
We understand that the property was re-thatched approximately two years ago.
The conservatory was added in 2015 by GSN of Great Staughton.
Some of the furniture may be available by separate negotiation, if required.
