SELLER’S COMMENTS

“We have lived in the house for over 20 years and it has been an excellent area to raise a family, a great space for entertaining and sports with the adjacent football field being rarely used by others.

The Garden has access to the football field and to the surrounding farmland with permission of the neighbouring farmers/landowners and as such it could be used for equestrian purposes similar to many other village properties with a significant number of local rights of way”. 

FURTHER INFORMATION

The land was once part of the former railway, until around 60 years ago. The Dean Burn flows through the plot and is an excellent feature with fish and a small waterfall.
