ACCOMMODATION
Refer to the floor plan for dimensions and layout. 2717 sqft in total. The whole property requires renovation and updating. Please see below for the restrictions you will face with carrying out any works to the property.
GENERAL OVERVIEW - There are two main entrances to the property one from in to the main HALLWAY and one from the rear into the UTILITY ROOM. The two main RECEPTION ROOMS have period features throughout including fireplaces. These rooms have historically been used either as SITTING / DRAWING ROOMS and or for DINING. A CELLAR is accessed from the hallway with winding steps and is dry and with some limited head height. On the FIRST FLOOR there are three BEDROOMS and a FAMILY BATHROOM. The SECOND FLOOR has a further two ATTIC ROOMS which have been used as BEDROOMS as one still is. The initial steps up have limited 'tread and rise' but are currently used.

WHAT IS A GRADE 2* BUILDING
A Grade 2 listed building is defined as a UK building or structure that is "of special interest, warranting every effort to preserve it". Grade 2 is a classification that can be applied to a wide variety of buildings and other structures, in a range of ages, styles and locations.
A Grade 2* (star) is as above but more significant. Properties achieve Grade 2* listed status often due to one or more specific period features such as a crown post or particularly impressive fireplaces or chimneys which elevate the property's historical significance beyond a Grade II listing.
How does listing affect owners? Listing means there will be extra control over what changes can be made to a building's interior and exterior. Owners will need to apply for Listed Building Consent for most types of work that affect the 'special architectural or historic interest' of their home.
What parts of the building does listing cover? Listing covers a whole building, including the interior, unless parts of it are specifically excluded in the list description.
It can also cover: Other attached structures and fixtures / Later extensions or additions / pre-1948 buildings on land attached to the building. (In the planning system, the term 'curtilage' is used to describe this attached land.) Because all listed buildings are different and unique, what is actually covered by a listing can vary quite widely. It is best, therefore, to check this with your local planning authority and the Listing Officer pertaining to that Authority.

LAND & GROUNDS
The whole site is 2.55 acres (*TBV). The acreage and or land shown / stated on any map and or screen print for the property is *TBV - (To Be Verified), which means that the land has not been formally measured and or verified by Equus and or its sellers/clients. A Title Plan from Land Registry will have been acquired, where available, showing the boundary and acreage.

Interested applicants / buyers are advised that if they have any doubts as to the plot size and wish to have verification of the titles and exact area of the entire plot/s, they will be required to make their own arrangements, at their own cost, by appointing the services of a Solicitor acting on their behalf and an accredited / qualified company who can measure the area for a compliant Land Registry Title Plan.
