AGENT'S NOTES

WATER: The house has an established, private bore hole water supply, which is shared with 4 other neighbouring properties. The bore hole, pump and filter plant room are within the grounds of this property. The water quality is very good, is regularly tested (by Craven Council), and has previously been tested to commercial standards (higher than residential), from when the house was previously used as a holiday let. The water plant has a separate, shared power supply, with costs currently equating to approx. £26 per month. Water testing costs in the region of £20 per year (costs per property). The other users of the water supply have a right of access to the plant room, via a pathway accessed from the back lane at the bottom corner of the garden – therefore, having little impact on privacy. SEPTIC TANK: The house also uses a shared septic tank (in the grounds of the neighbouring property). A benefit of having private water and septic facilities is that there are no water...
