Note of right of way
The property integrates a public footpath around its boundary, offering a delightful excursion into the surrounding countryside. The current owners have embraced this feature, adding to the property’s charm and character they have taken steps to allow privacy around the main house. There is a gated separate entrance to the footpath from the street adjacent to the entrance drive to the property. This pathway which is well concealed from the house continues straight until it reaches the rear aspect far boundary and turns left to continue its journey. There are parts of the path that are open to the parkland/paddock part of the property’s land – this could be made more private by installing fencing or planting more hedging. The path is clearly defined as the public pathway and has two exit areas along its journey none of which intrude on the main house’s privacy and enjoyment. All rights of way regarding the public footpath should be checked by a buyer’s solicitor.
