AGENT'S NOTES 1) There is a footpath that runs up the drive and between the barn and house opposite and continues beyond the property to Long Stratton.

2) The property is available as a whole or in lots. The property is Lot 2 (blue on plan). Lot 1 (red on plan) consists of the farmhouse, cottage, one large barn and 1.69 acres. Lot 3 (green on plan) consists of the former grain store and 0.51 acre. Please note the Lot 3 is not available on its own and will only be sold as part of the whole or in conjunction with either Lot 1 or Lot 2. The footpath will form the boundary between the lots with each lot having 50% responsibility and ownership of their applicable sections.

3) The vast majority of the conversion works on the residential barn have been undertaken but it currently does not have building regulations sign off and some works would need to be completed in order for sign off to take place.
