Service Arrangements - Water: A private mains supply (to Somerton Farm Cottage) is nearby which the purchaser can connect to. Standing and Volumetric charges will be sub-metered, apportioned and shared between the property and Somerton Farm Cottage.
Electricity: A company mains supply is situated nearby which the purchaser can connect to.
Gas: There is no mains gas. It is anticipated that the new dwelling will be heated by electricity (air source heat pump), bulk gas or oil.
Foul Drainage: The property is to drain to a new Package Sewage Treatment Plant (PSTP) shared with Somerton Farm Cottage. The cost of installation and ongoing maintenance/emptying will be shared between the two properties. An application has been made to change the PSTP to an alternative make, which has been accepted by the Isle of Wight Council.
Nearby Planning - The property is adjacent to a field which is subject to an Outline Planning Application for residential development (granted September 2025). Details are available on the Isle of Wight Council's website Planning Application Search Ref: 22/01720/OUT. The indicative layout plans show a significant undeveloped area between the property and the new houses which should provide ample buffering and screening.
