Planning - The property is subject to an equestrian occupancy tie, meaning the property must be occupied by those employed or last employed within the equestrian industry. In 2018, an outline planning application for 2 new dwellings was refused. Ref: DC/18/02559. Further information is available from the agents.

Overage - The sale will be subject to an overage provision of 30% of any uplift in the value of the land marked blue on the sale plan, as a consequence of any planning permission for a change of use for a
period of 30 years. The overage would be triggered on the implementation of a consent or sale (whichever is sooner).

Agents Note - The property was subject to substantial flooding during Storm Babet in October 2023. Further information is available from the agents.

We use a government-approved electronic identity verification service to ensure compliance, accuracy, and security. This is approved by the Government as part of the Digital Identity and Attributes Trust Framework (DIATF). This helps us to protect all our client's interests by using the most advanced verification process to help prevent the impacts of money laundering alongside our internal manual policies and procedures while staying compliant with HMRC.
