Agents Notes
Please note the following prior to viewing;
1. Subsidence detected in front east corner of building caused by tree roots. Structural report and full diagnosis done via owner and insurance company. Preparatory drainage works already completed and underpinning works expected in August. Benefit of insurance guarantee available to new purchaser.
2. Development permission granted in the field behind "The erection of 16 no. supported living units (Use Class C3(b)) with associated communal hub (to include ancillary carers accommodation), access, landscaping and ancillary works". According to plans, the area directly behind this property will be a small parking area.
3. There is a historic CPO on a small portion of the front garden dating from 1984-5 linked to development behind. However, plans for the development do not show the portion of the front garden being used - instead, the pavement in front of the house will be built out further into the road for traffic safety reasons.
Purchased by our clients in 1979 and we are advised the property was extended in 1981 and reroofed in 2002. Originally named No1 Lansdown View and recorded in 1932 as the home of Percy J Weeks (milkman & farm labourer).
