SERVICES:
Mains electricity and water. The property has private drainage which is shared with 3 other properties, and we believe that in the last 2 years approximately £10,000 has been spent installing a brand new system which should be beneficial for many years to come. The maintenance on this is equally divided on a 25% share for costs. These are likely to be kept to a minimum now the system has been renewed.
